I´m writing this in Salta, after a 24 hour trip from Acunsion to Salta, over Resistencia. Our intitial plan was taking a bus over the Paraguyan Chaco. In dry circumstances it´s a 30 hour trip, but in the wet season it can take up to five days. As it was raining cats and dogs yesterday morning in Paraguay, we took the safe option en booked coaches to Resistencia and Salta. The old colonial Spanish city with the most beautiful climate in the world. Were the weather is always - spring, autumn, summer, winter - as it is today: sunny, dry air, 25 degrees centigrade.

Tomorrow we´re taking another bus, eight hours this time, to the Bolivian border, wich we have to cross on our feet, over a bridge. From there on it´ll be buses again, to Potosi (highest city in the world at well over 4000 meter), Sucre and La Paz.

And then? Don´t know yet, we´ll see, talk to ya later

Hasta lluego!

P.s. bloody machine in this internetcafe (Ciudad Internet in Salta) doesn´t regognize the Canon Ixus, and since I´m not going to fight with fight with comuters on my holiday, you´ll have to wait for the pics. They´re beautiful, I promise!
