Hi having trouble uploading photos so sorry for lack if insomnia cures. We travelled via San pedro in Chile to argentina jusf under a week ago then after a couple of days of eating giant steaks we decided to hire a car and we have just arrived back from our roadtrip of the Northeast of Argentina gorgeous mountains and lovely people more steep dirt track roads and ...

... a mountain to the first of 4 zip wires across the canyon. Lee had made the mistake of telling Frank (our instructor) that he was petrified of heights so got picked on a little bit but was really glad that he plucked up the courage to do it - he now believes that he has conquered his fear of heights! The first zip wire was 190 meters high and 600 meters long which was a little scary, however we both loved it and were ...

... I walked around a bit today and I can´t really figure what happens here besides a layover in/out of Bolivia. There are lots of Fotocopie places and hostels and that´s about it. The whole town shuts down for siesta 1-5 which i makes sense b/c it was about 90 degrees F today. Ate some difrferent Tamales. There are alot of action sport type activities in area, but I am most intersested in seeing the ...

... about the world and stay sitting down. But the three of us donned our glad-rags and set off into town nearly an hour late to meet the others in the main Plaza.



Arabic food had been decided upon and one of the girls had heard of a good restaurant from people she worked with, so we turned up there. A very quiet little place, "Dubai", seemed nice enough. The staff were very quick to welcome us in and explain the menu to us ...

... for the four hour ride to the Bolivian/Argentine border. I met an Irishman, Steve, on board and upon arriving at La Quiaca, Argentina at 7pm, we decided to make the push across the border and see if we could get to Tupiza, three hours north of the border. I took some snaps of the border, the sign that said "La Quiaca, 5,000km from Ushuaia", and painlessly crossed. Since Dec 2007, the Bolivian government of Evo Morales has instituted a ...

... de leche... ooohhh... El més impressionant d'aquest matí ha sigut l'Amfiteatre, sens dubte. Amb una acústica excepcional. La garganta del diablo, ens ha decebut una mica. Ens esperàvem quelcom més. Retornem el cotxe a les 6pm. Tot ha anat bé. Reorganitzem les maletes. A les 9pm anirem a la "terminal de bus". "Via Tac" és l'empresa. Horrible altre cop! molt incòmode i, ni menjar ni manta... ni res... oohhhh... mai més!

... do repairs but luckily we stumbled upon one ourselves. They put it in for cleaning (it cost 50 pounds) and left it there for the day. We then bought our bus tickets to Mendoza which cost a whopping 45 pounds each which is double the price quoted in our guide book We are now officially out of the cheap countries :( We then went to a mall wich had a MacDonalds ...

... a few hours from the Bolivian border. The bus pulled in on time, and so it was that Matt, running up the platform happened upon a lovely sleeper bus that was literally about to set off terminating at Salta. In frantic and extremely poor Spanish Matt found out where the ticket office was, got the driver to promise not to leave for 5 minutes, picked up the tickets, ran back to the driver and got him to ...
