My footsteps

From here on the weather gets fantastic! After Tafi we headed up to Cafayate, known for it´s wines. It was a morning bus between places with awesome views and very skinny lanes. We found a great hostel from Pedro at the bus stop and bargained down for a good price, and a ride in the back of a pickup. Right away we headed out on a tour of Quebrada de las Conchas. Amazing. For the rest of our days there we rented bikes and visited bodegas and out to a swimming hole with a couple of girls from the US and one from Scotland, visited a goat cheese factory, played cards on the roof with a few beverages with Jovi from South Africa and Stephan from Germany, shopped, tried wine ice cream ( which is VERY good... I think maybe it was just frozen wine though, maybe you want to try it?) and enjoyed the sunshine... definately all got some colour here! Definitely our favorite place so far. After Cafayate we bused up the Salta but were disappointed to find out it was just another city... which we weren´t quite in the mood for. We quickly organized to rent a car as we heard it was the best way to see the area around here. I say quickly because just as they were taking my visa imprint I thought to ask do we have the option of manual or automatic... and no we didn´t. Between the 4 of us only 2 could drive and embarrassingly enough none knew standard. What better way to learn than under pressure :) The vw golf showed up at the hostel on schedule the next morning and a very nervous Teresa hopped in the drivers seat unsure of how to drive and the rules of the road down here. Intersections are as far as i can tell based on aggression not any other system... To be continued.
