We transferred across the Chilean border to a small town called San Pedro and we had our bags searched for the first time but all was A OK. San Pedro was a nice little oasis in the dessert however it being in Chile and miles from any other town made it expensive, especially when coming from Bolivia. We found a relatively cheap hostel and had some lunch and the rest of the day was spent chilling out and sorting stuff for the next few days. Tuesday 24th November We spent most of the day traveling with a 9 hour bus from [View Full Entry]

Hello! We ended up in Cafayate for 6 days, not sure how that happened, the time just flew! We head north to Salta tomorrow but while we are at a PC that we know uploads photos thought we should detail our big break into Argentinian TV! We were asked to take part in filming for a TV show (the details of which were sketchy, by which I mean "in Spanish" and therefore unintelligible to our rubbish ears!). However it was a lot of fun and quite surreal... Love you all S and Ed [View Full Entry]

I was promised a semi-cama bus from Sucre to Villazon. On purchasing a ticket, I was shown this bus, which was more than comfortable for the 13 hour trip from constitutional capital of Bolivia. In reality, for my £7 paid, I received something which was fresh out of the cartoon Wacky races. I had opted for a back seat, back right corner next to the window. As this larger than normal lady approached the back seat I wondered if she was going to be my travel buddy for the next 13 hours and wondered if I had enough food for the [View Full Entry]

Die 52 h Busfahrt haben wir gut ueberstanden. Die Buse in Argentinien sind ja zum Glueck gut im Stande und wir kennen es jetzt ja auch schon ein bisschen. Das Klima in Iguazu war sehr heiss und tropisch. Das hat uns aber nicht daran gehindert bereits am naechsten Tag die Wasserfaelle zu besuchen. Sehr eindruecklich. Man sagt, dass die Wasserfaelle oder auch einfach sehr grosse Massen von Wasser gluecklich machen und man immer lachen muss. Ja, das hat dann schon zugetroffen und so konnten wir ein bisschen ignoerieren, dass es voellig Ueberlaufen war. In Iguazu gab es sonst nicht so viel [View Full Entry]

Adios a muchus gracias Argentina and Bien Dias Bolivia! We´re now in Bolivia but spent pretty much the last ten days before we arrived here having an aweosme time in northern province of Salta in Argentina. Following Iguazu Falls we took another crappy overnight bus to Resistencia, a ´city´ that was half way between Iguazu on the Argentinian border and Salta, our destination where we planned to stay for a week. Instead of doing the 24 hours on a bus straight we thought it would be nice to drop into Resistencia, have a nose around, get a cheap hotel room for [View Full Entry]

Oh Cafayete! What can we say? The asado´s were delicious, the wine was divine and the people were welcoming. The only unfortunate thing was that this was the point where our "family" had gone separate ways so were by ourselves again. Luckily, we still had one member with us. On the first day, we were greeted by the friendly family who owned the hostel. Little did we know, there are a lot more things to do in Cafayete than we thought. After being overwhelmed with the list the hostel had given us, we decided to look things over while eating emapanadas. [View Full Entry]

I took the Tren al las Nubes up to 4000m. The scenery was beautiful but the train holds you prisoner from 7AM till around 11PM with only two chances to get off the train and have a look around. If you ever make it here, do yourself a favor and take the bus tour that goes to the same places for half the cost.... [View Full Entry]
