Salta

So after a 23hr bus journey we arrived in Salta looking for the 3rd of Keirans Hostel recommendations, we never did find the first two but im happy to say it was third time lucky on this occasion!

Salta itself is clean, well kept and orientated like most Argentinian towns around the main plaza that's overlooked by lots of Spanish-style colonial architecture.

We only stayed the two nights in Salta and on the first we had an all you can eat BBQ for 25 peso´s about 4 pound or 7 Euro´s with the other members of the Hostel, this gave us a great excuse to practice our Spanish or for me especially realise how bad i actually am! this will change once we take lessons in Bolivia i hope! after the BBQ we headed into town with some new friends and the night ended at around breakfast on Sunday morning, needless to say Sunday was spent rehydrating and feeling sorry for ourselves.

On our final day we headed into town to check out the local neighbourhood take some snaps and seek out a little resteraunt we visited to get some Empananda´s(the local delicacy) only to find it closes on a monday! oh well another excuse to revisit Argentina in the future.

Later were heading to watch Batman and then get the night bus to Bolivia so tune back in, in a few days for some pics of the salt flats.
