WE NOW have photos!
Well what started out as a planned trip on a gondalla turned into a 500km drive through the mountains of Salta. We arrived in Salta, far north of Argentina after a 16 hour bus ride through the night and had dinner at a crazy 10.40pm (thats what they do here). We then met Kent and Dee from San Francisco California and embarked on a great adventure. Hired a little Chrysler and drove for 12 hours through the Capayche valley and mountains. We got as high as 4080 metres above sea level and it was amazing. The views were different through every part of the journey and we just said WOW the whole day! Our american buddies were brilliant value - we laughed all day and night singing flight of the concords renditions. Stopped at a tiny town - San Rosario which was so quaint and tiny. Had a massive slab of unknown meat served over yellow rice for lunch. The meat is just referred to as Carne - not any specific meat so you never know what you´re eating. Yum fun fun. Saw herds of lamas and tiny settlements miles from nowhere along gravel roads, way up in the sky. Now appreciate the beauty and cleanliness of New Z like never before. Missing everyone.
Crossing the border to Bolivia tonight. Leaving at 12.45am!
