Blogs from Tafí del Valle, Tucumán, Argentina, South America

Į "Tucumaną" atvažiuoju 4 ryto, bet bent šiek tiek numigęs jaučiuosi daug žvalesnis, nors dušo dabar tikrai neatsisakyčiau. Mano tikslas - Cafayate kurortinis miestelis kalnuose. Tikėjausi, kad iš čia bus autobusas iki Cafayate, bet ir iš čia jis nepigus. Praslampinėju po stotį apie 2 val. ir sugalvoju, kad kadangi jau esu šitam mieste, reikia bent šiek tiek jį apžiūrėti, nors dar neivienas žmogus man nesakė, kad čia yra ką pažiūrėti. Ir vistik visai įdomus miestas, man jis pasirodo įdomesnis nei visų liaupsinama Mendoza. Grįžtu į stotį, o ten sužinau, kad kitas autobusas į Cafayate, tik 2 val dienos, kai dabar tik 9 ryto.

The Hostel was a place with a nice courtyard, friendly people, decently priced but unfortunately the pool boasted on the website was un-swimmable, if you planned on exiting it in the same health as you entered.

Wow the bus station here in Tucuman is huge! Like a shopping center, well it actually is. 12 hours in the bus relieved to be off it, there were a group of guys who sat around me one is my seatmate, annoying as hell, played music loudly and the guy sat next to me keeps changing seats, one time bumping his head on the tv , he never came back to his seat and I slept pretty well through the night. Thre was a bad smell in the bus that pervade for awhile, either i got used to it or it disappeared, I took the semi cama to save 7 US dollars, the upgrade was grand! Next time.. Took a taxi to La Posta de Viajero hostal. Paint peeling from the rooms, but its nice overall, ... read more
