... produced in the area. The largest golf course in South America, at 240 acres, is currently being developed just outside of the city center at La Estancia de Cafayate. The town was founded in 1840 by Manuel Fernando de Aramburu, at the site of a mission. In 1863 the Cafayate Department was created, of which Cafayate is the capital. <br><br>We hopped on our bus to Cafayate what a rubbish bus no A/C and it was hot but oh well it was only ...

... in London and found it really inspiring especially with regards to working on our house.  Well this installation beats anything I have seen in London.  It was incredible.  <br><br>After a fabulous meal and a gorgeous bottle of Colome Torrontes Ian and I were driven to the gallery, a contemporary symmetrical building at the edge of the winery.  It is double the size of the white cube,  and there, in the middle of this Argentinian landscape ...

... Another disadvantage of being 1ft smaller than your spouse...accidents happen all the time!!!<br><br>The next day was spent eating the most amazing ice-cream (wine and cactus flavoured!!) and Empanadas (our equivalent of pasties), watching Phil play ping pong (far too energetic for Jo and I) and playing with the new born puppy. It was a tough few days I have to admit! But then the time came when we had to bid farewell to Jo. So I ran along side her bus ...

... so I didnt get to enjoy the scenery as much but we stopped a few times to appreciate it and it was lovely. It was hard work driving tho with lots of steep drops and roads curving around the mountains. When we were on the outskirts of Salta, I swapped the driving with Luke as he is more confident with driving in the city centre - and five minutes later, for the second time in four days we had a run in with the Argentinian police! A police lady pulled us over and we ...

... les os de son cabrito ! Je ne suis pas sure que la serveuse avait déjà vu ça ! Ensuite au dodo tout le monde dans un petit hôtel fleuri avec une magnifique vue sur les montagnes. Le lendemain départ 10 heures vers Salta ! Nous avons mis deux heures pour faire les 48 premiers km tellement c'était superbe ! Nous nous sommes souvent arrêté pour prendre des photos. C'était vraiment superbe ! Petit arrêt apéro et picada dans un beau ...

... depressingly quiet place I was glad to move onto the more impressive scenary. Our next stop was truely incredible - a natural ampitheatre. A great place for taking photos and somewh**e which has to be seen by anyone visiting the area. The weath** on our way to Cafayate was skecthy - blasts of sunshine followed by impenetrable clouds. This meant our bus ride for much of the rest of the journey was unbroken with our tour guide, Monica, calling out sites from h** precarious ...

... during this trip. Bright lightning bolts danced across the sky as the loud thunder echoed and crackled in the night's sky. It didn't start raining until I was walking back to my hostel- and within a couple of blocks I was completely drenched- it was as if I had taken a shower with all of my clothes on! Today was a very good day. I can not wait to see what is in store for me tomorrow.

... nous passons à l'hostel de mes compagnons de route pour qu'ils déposent leurs affaires superflues puis nous retournon au terminal des bus pour essayer de revendre les billets de retour que mes amis Brésiliens avaient achetés à notre arrivée. Bilan: une bonne heure de perdue mais pour la bonne cause: ils parviennent à récupérer leur argent. Nous nous mettons finalement en route vers 16 heures. Nous traversons d'abord quelques vignobles avant de nous diriger ...
