Oct 20, 2009 - Over to Argentina - Salta

We took the 8 hour bus from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile to Salta, Argentina - which actually felt like it involved more time sitting at the Chilean and Argentinian immigration than actually going anywhere on the bus!! Following advice we hired a car and drove up to the Andean town of Cachi. ... The drive up was stunning - although a little windy and bumpy at times, which just meant I got to practice my rally driving! We had a lovely lunch up in the main square of Cachi and then headed back down to Salta, as we wanted to get back before it was dark as dealing with Argentinian drivers was hard enough in the daylight! The following day was our one year wedding anniversary and Adrian surprised me with a hotel for the night. ... After all those hostels we really appreciated the white fluffy towels and crisp white sheets! The swimming pool and yummy breakfast weren't too bad either! On our final day in Salta we took the cable car up Mount San Bernardo which gives fantastic views over the city. ...
