Saying goodbye to Argentina
Day 177 Wed 23/2 Salta
My last day in Argentina! I have fallen in love with all the 4 countries that I have visited in South America so far, having spent most of the time in Argentina. Almost feel sad that I have to say goodbye.
Walked around quite a bit again, before losing the battle to the heat and finding refuge in a cinema. I enjoy watching Darren Arronofsky (sp?) and Black Swan is no disappointment.
The weather changes quite drastically! I am lucky to make it back to the hostel before it starts pouring buckets! I use the weather as an excuse to watch Arsenal play a football game. Quite a tame end to a 2.5 month stay in Argentina!
Day 178 Thu 24/2 Salta/ San Pedro de Atacama
The bus ride from San Pedro de Atacama to Salta was so beautiful that I had to do it all over again. The scenery doesnt disappoint. However, I do take short naps this time around – quite different from the self that was glued to the window on the ride over. How quickly one can get used to beauty and take it for granted!
The Chilean customs is quicker this time around, after my experiences at the Chilean borders! Arrive in San Pedro at 4pm, which is a respectable 9 hours!
I rent a bike and head out to Valley of death, Valle de la Muerte. Enjoy the scenery and head back after sunset. Almost wish I had made it to Valle de la Luna for the sunset. However, I didnt fancy a 15 k ride after sitting in the bus all day!
