... diese Strecke. Wir werden geschuettelt, geschauckelt, gestossen, bergauf, bergab.
Dann ein erstes Highlight der "Waechter mit seinen gebueckt gehenden Moenchen" , bizzar geformte Gesteinskulpturen, wenig spaeter folgen die "Kathedralen" und dann ... zeigt sich die Salar de Tara in ihrer ganzen Pracht. Blaeulich-gruenlich leuchtet das langsam verdunstende Wasser, hell weiss das Ufer umrundet von roetlichen Bergen ...

... a roof, and tires as windows. We all sat around singing to songs, mainly rap, they had blasting, admiring one of the mens handicrafts that he makes, and playing with the most adorable 7 tiny puppies I have ever seen!

As the sunset and Evan had to pry the puppies out of my hands (they wanted to give us one for free!) we headed back to the hostel with our two new friends to make dinner. The chef made ...

... whoīd just arrived and were planning on travelling in the smae direction as me into Bolivia. This was brilliant news, so I quickly latched onto them so that I could join a tour with them and be guaranteed English speakers (Julieīs Australian and Ianīs from Cleethorpes!).
The next dya was spent relaxing in a hammock in the sun before heading off for a tour of the Valle de Luna (Valley of the Moon). The scenery was astounding, but ...

... calamu, jako prasnjav i vjetrovit grad, sat i pol od san pedra. U busu sam skuzila neke dvije cure koje sam, kad smo stigli u san pedro, pitala znaju li gdje ce spavati pa sam se uvalila njima (jer nisu ni one znale gdje ce). Na kraju nam je neki lik na „kolodvoru" dao flyer i odveo nas do „hostela“, 60kn noc. Isle smo prvo vidjeti, ali smo na kraju i ostale jer su soba i kupatilo cisti, a dvoriste totalna fora – s ljuljackama, likovima koji su svirali i ...

... seen looming over the desert and beyond those are Bolivia and Argentina. As I got off the bus I unwisely didnīt go for the hostel I picked out of the book and fell into the arms of someone selling their hostel. It was a nice place, open air courtyard where we had fires in the evenings, but unfortunately, full of hippies. One of whom was a Swiss German hippy who peristed in telling stories on how many times heīs nearly been busted trying to ...

... of dusty unpaved streets and adobe brick one story buildings. We spent along time walking around trying to find places that would change the Argentine pesos that we arrived, and unfortunately, that unless we did not mind being completly ripped off, we would have to wait until we reached another city to change them.

The bus ride from Salta to San Pedro was absolutely awsome and an excusrsion by itself. Now I understood better that it rather was the environment of Salta that the people were so enthousiastic about than the city itself. Basically we had to cross over the Andes form Argentina to Chile and appearantly the lowest point we could cross was at about 4800 meter. I was a bit surprised that we were not informed by forhand.
