... br> So I had a really nice relaxing few days in Salta, I finally visted the museum with the mummified children (they were unbeliviable to see!), and I met a nice dutch guy called Daniel, and I spent a couple of days trying to make him speak English English rather than American English - poor guy!<br> So after a nice few relaxing days I was at the bus station at 6am for my bus ride over the Andes and into Chile.<br>

... along with four girls from our tour, two Kiwis and two Canadians. That night we stocked up on our alcohol supplies as Argentina is the cheapest place on our route for good cheap wine. We bought 8 bottles of wine, a bottle of vodka and a bottle of champagne all for £20! I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll get through it in no time though. <br><br>Our day trip started at 7am so we were up in the dark and cold and the weather didn&#8217;t look like it was going to be ...

... is election day. Quick decision needed, we take our bags off the bus and head to the office for compensation - buses are great here but they don´t come cheap, we can´t afford to miss the connection.<br>So this is where this part of the blog comes to you from - our extra day in Salta waiting for the night bus. We have to see the company manager later to see what will happen, in the mean time we will sign off and add more when we have it. Oh, and no photos again! (new card needed).

... more than about 20 meters. The trip itself was kind if cool because it was about 3.5 hours on a dirt road, which made it fun to drive and gave me the opportunity as the driver to show my rally skills. After a few hours we decided to turn around as it did not made much sense to continue without any vision. While I was looking for a good point to turn around, the clouds suddenly dissappeard and ...

... bus made several stops along the 22 hour journey and with each stop Argentina began to show herself more and more. Argentina is desperately poor in places - the endless arable land of Las Pampas is punctuated with tiny, almost shanty town-like hamlets and the Argentina of farming and Estancias seems to have fallen prey to the globilization beast. Apart from the cows and the occasional person most of this expansive country ...

Well, it was a quick visit to Salto, and after probably the best night's sleep ever (thank you hot springs!), I boarded the border-crossing bus, went over the hydro-electric dam, and made it to my next destination. Welcome to Argentina! The Place: Honestly, I had no real plans after Uruguay. I had such an awesome time in Buenos Aires seven years ago, I didn't really want to go back there and overlap those great memories. Besides, in Uruguay, I ...

... We also got to observe some pretty dodgy money changing stuff going on in the cloisters of one of the buildings, saw a young guy buy six American dollars (that's right, six) and the whole transaction was very dramatic, lots of toing and froing and looking over shoulders, taking about 10 minutes in all. For six dollars. At one corner of the square stood the old town hall, all whitewashed and cloistered in its colonial style, and the area ...

... All the horses were very gentle and our guides knew what they were doing. We went up in the mountains and it was an all around good time. Friday April 18th- Wednesday April 25th- Jujuy trip with Pro Yungas Ah what an amazing adventure! Of course our professor Maria didn't tell us what we were going to be doing (she really doesn't have much together, but we've all gotten used to it) so it was all sort of a surprise. Friday 18th- we had an early 4:00am bus ...
