Day 38: 7/8/12 Today I had a day trip to Cafayate. (I had booked that for tomorrow and a different one for today but the company must have decided to go the other way around or something- well see if someone turns up to collect me tomorrow!) I forgot to say yesterday that it was raining in the morning and the sky was really grey- it was very Irish weather! This morning was a bit foggy buy not raining! I was collected in a mini-bus which was good! Once again th...

Day 37: 6/8/12 So today I had a day trip to Cachi. I was picked up at 7am in a jeep and then we collected two others. I presumed I'd be with a bus full of people but it was jus the jeep. The two others were a couple in their fifties I'd say who had no English. Considering I'd no Spanish it wasn't a very talkative day! The guide spoke Spanish and English but he didn't have too much to say either! Cachi is a little town outside Salta. In South America, saying som...

Day 36: 5/8/12 Completely slept in this morning. I obviously needed a lot of sleep after my night in the airport! Was talking to Shane last night too- he was in good form. On his way to a hurling match! Went into town and had an omelette for breakfast. I stated ages in the cafe because the Olympic tennis was on. The Argentinian lad got the bronze so there were a few cheers. I would have liked to have heard the British commentary on Andy Murray- Id say it would...

Day 35: 4/8/12 Only had about 2hours of dozing really last night- no proper sleep! So I'm wrecked! The place I had picked to sleep was actually the gate our flight was boarding at so that was handy! The flight was about 2 1/2 hours long to Buenos Aires. I slept through a lot of it though so it flew! Every flight gives drink and a snack so that passes the time too! I had to go through more immigration in buenos aires but no forms this time- a camera which I pre...

Day 34: 3/8/12 Hope ye all had a ball at the wedding!! Had a lazy morning this morning- didn't get up til it was time to check out. Headed down the town then for some breakfast/lunch. I had a few hours to kill then before heading to the airport so I wandered round the markets an bought some postcards (not for posting to ye though- for me to keep!!) and some jewellery. There's a special stone called a bolivianito which is nice- it is purple and gold so I bought...
