Salta 13/01/2009 to 18/01/2009

got another over night bus into Salta. we stayed at los cardones hostel which was good, not too far to walk into town and there was also a load of bars in Balcarce.

we met up with kylie one night and went to a restaurant (La Pena del Chaqueno) where they have the live dancing and you get to have a go... I won a bottle of wine nic was gutted, it was hilarious, lush food and loads of wine again.

The 3 of us hired a car hired a car for a couple of days and drove down to cafayate, another wine region, bit of a theme building here, done a couple of tastings and stayed over at this newly done out guest house, went out and had some basic stuff, empanades Milanesa and rouge, at a little food place, the old fella was nice and we got a picture with mama who cooked everything, was good fun.. poor kylie had the fright of her life, we had left the windows open in both our rooms and gone to sleep, Kylie woke up to find someone coming in thru the window and screamed her head off.. we think we might have heard someone running but thought it was kids... it gave us all a kick up the back side to be more careful again..
we drove back to salta via Cachi which is just boring and full of flies, we had to drive down a dirt track all day,lucky we had loaded up with emanades for the journey.. it was un real surprised they let you take hire cars on that road... the bumper fell off at some point.. and some strange bloke tried to touch our australian friend, wierdos... the end of the journey was lovely through lush scenery, purple mountans and stuff
Forgot to say when we hired the car and kylie got out her credit card we found that she had the exact same 'Sherriff' suname, hilarious was like fate..
we went to a locals place for a steak for our last night.

then got a day the next day up to la quiaca
