... of the trapped miners reply - a little trick that driver demonstrated. And sure enough an echo followed 2 seconds after he bellowed a loud 'hola')<br><br>We also visited a winery and did some tasting. Purchased a high quality bottle of white for 15 pesos (2 pounds ish). We were informed the Dutch couple had a special treat, a trip further south of Cafayate town to some ruins of an old Indian city (later destroyed by Spanish invaders) ... would we like to ...

... concealed annoyance.<br><br>In the evening we went in search of a cheap restaurant, and after a lengthy wander we randomly stumbled upon a pizza place which had quite a different approach to the usual - there were about thirty choices of pizza, and the prices were quoted per slice. When our pizza arrived, it was a myriad of different toppings, all created by decorating one base. Ingenious, and very nice it was too ...

... I was willing to give anything a go. So if we asked Miguel what he was doing at the weekend he would shrug and tell us he had no plans, we would then wake up on a Sunday morning to find the entire family was on it's way and a party had been arranged. Living in that house became a nightmare and the support we received from our reps was minimal. They simply did not do enough, I expressed specific concerns and nothing was done.

... out a bunch of llamas that were wandering about. They are pretty funny and all decked out with tassles. The llamas are all owned by people in near by villages but they just wander about on their own. We then drove down the worst gravel road in teh world for 3 hours.. when we hit the paved road we all felt super weird and couldnt walk right when we got out of the bus it was so bumpy. My favorite part of the trip was the ...

... to hit the town. First started off with pizza and a show of local music and dance. Then we spoted our weakness, a pool hall, it was full of old men, cigarette smoke and ...

... a charming colonial center that is marked by cobblestone streets, uniform balconied two-level buildings, wide and verdant plazas with fountains, churches and a town hall (cabildo) that all speak of the height of colonial opulence while hiding the accompanying disgusting violence and imperialism, the center of the city is very reminiscent of Cuzco and, I would soon discover, Potosi. The heart of the old city is centered around the large ...

... lifting your bag four feet and throwing it into the hold. If you don't give them a token something, they actually scream after you and insult you in front of god and country. Yes, I got screamed at until I learned that tipping was not only customary, but expected. I am giving two **** awards this time: First one goes to Julio, from Jujuy, and the second to Andres, who is from BA, but actually lives in Dallas. I am making the big "L" (for ...

Travelblog Salta Kaum in Chile eingereist, schon reisen wir wieder aus. Aber wir wollen das Land weiter im Sueden nochmal mit unserer Anwesenheit beehren. Jetzt geht es erstmal fuer ein paar Wochen nach Argentinien, und dazu nehmen wir am 9. November erstmal den Bus nach Salta. Grosse Hektik bei der Abfahrt, fast faehrt der Bus noch ohne uns los, und dann stehen wir fast 2 Stunden an der naechsten Ecke an der Grenzkontrolle von San Predro. Irgendjemand hat mal wieder Probleme mit ...

... as we were only going for the Salt Plains and they have some in San Pedro). However, we were told they were fully booked until next Sunday (9 days time!). We tried Geminis and they had a couple of tix which had been reserved and had to be paid for by 6pm. We got the hostel to contact the bus company for us but sadly the tix had been sold :( Later in the evening we went back to the bus terminal and went to book tix for Sunday with Pullman and were ...

... said ok so we both went for the gnochi, me with meat, Katie without. <br><br>Just to avoid any chance of a misunderstanding, Katie told the waitress that she was a vegetarian.<br><br>The pasta was pretty good, I can't remember the last time I had gnochi and Katie was also enjoying her meal... until she found a rogue piece of meat, and then another piece, and another... <br><br ...
