Zo San Pedra de Atacama sme sa potrebovali dostat do Salty v Argentine. Cesta to bola dlha, ale ziaden autobus nesiel v noci, asi kvoli hraniciam, a tak nas cakal dalsi den straveny cestovanim. Este v San Pedre sme sa zastavili pre vystupne peciatky z Cile a potom dalsie dve hodiny k argentinskej kontrole. Argentincania brali vstup do ich krajiny naozaj vazne, vsetky batohy museli von a cez rontgen, vsetky pasy si overovali v pocitaci a nakoniec nam to zabralo skoro dve hodiny. Polopust sa pomaly menila na skaly a neskor na zelenu krajinu, co bola pre naj krasna zmena. Cestou sme tiez prekrocili obratnik Kozorozca. Do Salty sme dorazili o 9 vecer a troska sme sa aj obavali hladat si ubytovanie po tme. Nahodne sme si vybrali jeden z nami vytypovanych hostelov a mali sme stastie - mali miestoplus zadarmo ranajky, zadarmo internet, moznost pouzivania kuchynky a tepla voda. Do hostela sme si zobrali taxik, nemali sme presne, taxikar tiez nie a cuduj sa svete mavol rukou a odpustil nam nejake drobne. Salta vyzera ako prijemne mesto, este aj o jedenactej tu behali deti po uliciach a bolo pocut zivu hudbu.


From San Pedro de Atacama we needed to get to Salta, Argentina. The journey was long, but there was no overnight bus, probably because of the border crossing, so we had ahead another day of travelling. In San Pedro we stopped for our exit stamps from Chile and then another two hours to argentinians control. Argentinians took the entry into their country very seriously, all the luggage had to go through x ray check, all the passport had to be controlled and in the end it took us two hours to get sorted. Country of deserts slowly turned into a rocky one and then finally a green country which was a nice change for us. On our journey we also crossed the tropic of Capricorn. We arrived to Salta at 9pm and were a bit worried about looking for accomodation at this time. We just accidently chose one of suggested hostels and we were so lucky - they had a room just for us, free breakfast, free internet, kitchen to use and hot water. We took a taxi to that hostal and we didnt have right money and taxidriver either and suprisingly he let us go for a bit less. Salta looks like a pleasant town, even by eleven there were kids running outside and we could also hear some live music deep after midnight.
