Where to begin....

OK I'm back. Now where to begin. Should I tell you about the amazing scenery in North West Argentina? How about the things I bought? or the animals and plants? Of course I could just give you a day by day account of everything I saw, did and said (but that could be boring). Oh what the heck! - here is what I did: Monday got on coach; Tuesday got off coach; Wednesday walked around Salta; Thursday got on bus; Friday got into four wheel drive; Saturday got into four wheel drive; Sunday got on bus; Monday got onto specially adapted four wheel drive; Tuesday got into specially adapted four wheel drive; Wednesday got onto bus; Thursday got onto bus; Friday got onto coach; Saturday got off coach. Pretty snazzy eh?!

As you may have worked out, a lot of the time was spent in (or by) various forms of transport - that's because Argentina is a BIG country and it takes time to get from one place to another. The upside of this is that most of the time the scenery is pretty spectacular and the buses are comfortable.

Here are the only pictures relevant to this post.


This is Federico who drove us on Monday and Tuesday of the second week


and this is the specially adapted four wheel drive that he drove us in.

BTW they are changing the wheel here - a common occurance because the majority of the roads here are unsealed - we were on the salt lake at the time.
