These are just afew photos of the beautiful scenery (one from the bus and the other the waterfall that we swam in after our trek). These are my travelling friends, Will, Emily and Kerri.
Since last writing I have had a very busy few days! We went on a huge bus journey up to Tucuman from Valparais which was great as we got a "full cama" bus which means you get a proper bed and nice food so we slept well and arrived refreshed in Tucuman (northern Argentina). We went white water rafting and on a trek up a mountain in the forest to a secluded and beautiful waterfall where we swam and relaxed which was very much needed after the extremely sweaty and difficult trek (which our guide did in flipflops!). We explored Tucuman and took a tour around the Yungas which are the surrounding mountains. The scenery is aboslutely breath taking in northern Argentina, I can´t even begin to explain how beautiful it is up here.
We arrived in Salta on the 13th and my friends bought champagne which we drank at midnight and the whole hostel sang happy birthday (in several languages!) . On my actual birthday we had a picnic in the park and relaxed because my friends paid for this incredible tour as a present the next day which left at 7am! We had birthday cake though which was great and meant the whole hostel sang happy birthday again! The tour was incredible. We followed
the route of the train to the clouds, up mountains to 4100 metres, through dessert, across salt flats, into beautiful old villages, through gorges....litterally unbelievable! Again I don´t really know how to describe it, it is just something you have to see. Our tour guide made us promise to tell our friends and family to come and visit his country so there you go!
I am off to Bolivia by myslef tomorrow which should be great if it all works out!! I can´t wait to see a new place athough I feel pretty exhausted by the pace at which we are seeing everything. I only have afew weeks until my next project though so I am trying to see as much as possible.
Take care everyone, xxxxx
