Today is clean up day, the bike is completely covered in dust and my kit is so full of dust that when I walk I cause a dust storm!
The bike goes to the car wash and the kit goes in the wash sink and on the line to dry in the sun.
I need more chain lube and cleaner so on my exploration of the city I manage to pick some up but it is expensiv...

Hola, Firstly I hope these blogs aren´t boring the life out of you all, there´s been an ominous silence on the comments page! Well, we´re now in Salta which is definitely the most beautiful city we´ve been to since arriving in Argentina. This was especially clear to us after the night we spent in not-so-beautiful Corrientes. We wanted to break t...

We took a daytime bus and arrived in a cold a dull Salta at tea time. As we are now at a lower altitude we expected it to be a bit warmer but its still pretty chilly. Luckily the sun came out on our second day. We spent the first night in another hostel and then moved to La Linda as our first place was full with reservations. La Linda has centra...

Day 97: November 19, 2007 In Salta The day dawned overcast and cool but with clearing in the east. Throughout the morning the skies above Salta and the valley to the south cleared while the sky in the north remained overcast. After finishing my morning writing, I went to the office and went upstairs to tell Tuity what I had discovered in Río Met...

Day 60: October 13, 2007 In Salta Today was a lazy day. I slept in until 9:30. After writing the entries for the past couple of days, I went down to the office and posted them. Elena slept even later. She took the bus to El Centro to meet Carlos for lunch. It turned out that he wasn't able to get there until much later so she had lunch by hersel...

After two bus journeys and baggage checks at the border, we entered Argentina and immediately noticed the difference. When booking the tickets from La Quiaca (the town just over the border in Argentina) to Salta a woman was intent on helping us tourists. Due to our bad Spanish, we didn´t understand that a protest for the next 48hours meant that ...

We cought a local bus from Tupiza to Villazone ( a border town) and enjoyed some of the last Bolivian sights we will see for a while (maybe ever). The mountains in this country are spectacular, and the level of poverty and quality of life is not less though provoking. We really enjoyed our stay here, and highly recomend a 2-3 week trip to see mo...

As the train from Uyuni to Villazon wound through the dry river valley I half expected Butch Cassidy and his infamous apprentice to come riding down through the cactuses from the squat red hills, revolvers blazing, and rob the train. The wild south of Bolivia looks so like the wild west of the movies, and is of course, the territory where Butch ...
