Salta

Salta's a nice place. We´re staying in luxury hotel for the first few nights (see our lovely roof-top pool). This not only allows us to relax after our long journey, but it also provides us with a chance to get terribly sun-burned, and also provides an unfavourable contrast to our tent.

We hadn´t thought that much about what it would like when we got here. As it turns out, Salta is hot. It was about 37 degrees on the first afternoon and we´re beginning to wonder what cycling in this heat will be like (like cycling through hell, we imagine). Salta is also surrounded on all sides by desert.
