So much to do...so much time...

Hey guys, bear with us with this one! In the last few places we´ve stayed the internet has been at pretty much dial up speed. So this is quite a long post and its taken a fecking age to get up, with much tantrums and cursing. As we have what feels like a million photos to get on the blog we're going to keep the informed chat clean and simple. The pictures are from time spent in and around Cordoba, Salta in Northern Argentina and towards the border into Bolivia. 

The start of many photos of buildings in Cordoba






Sleezy Face...Joe?


Em thinking bout a revolution ...
Its the village of the damned!

The hostel guys told us about this great pretty river with lovely beaches and swimming holes not so far from where we were staying. Diego told us we could even drink the water (no thanks mate), although Ian drank a lot from nearly drowning as apparently he can´t swim when he laughs, a dangerous combination with ems water banter...

Questa Blanca





Surf dudes with attitude...





Mark Lemar

Lazy days...


´As tha got any booze? Dunt want no watta!

Lovely little waterfall near La Cumbrecita, up in the mountains

We made two great pals at our hostel

Watching one of these struggle to eat an avacado may just be the best thing we´ve ever seen... screw the salt flats


I didn't think Emma ordered the fish?


Not quite Christmas at home...


Ian trying to round up fellow baldys...

Ian´s car... At least it´s better than the rover 25











Rugged mountain man



Em flagging


Quiffy... Or quieffy







Too much chewing on cocoa leaves...


Its great having a man around to navigate and show you the way

Flagging, again, thats what two months of red wine and steak gets you...


This little hobbit loves a booze
Ian adopting the local greeting..




So we waved goodbye to Argentina and crossed the border with Kathleen who we met in Humauaca. We then met Ben and Charlie on the bus to the border, they were laughing at us trying to move an Argentinian hippy with a guitar out of our seat. Afterwards Ben said ´yeah you could tell Emma was laid back and Ian was stubborn´ as he refused to give up the seats. So onto Bolivia we all travelled into Tupiza to brace ourselves for the Salt Flats, the first experience of Bolivia was hanging around a half built bus terminal for our first bolivian bus which turned up an hour and half late, had an engine which sounded like a small moped and a driver who couldn´t find the biting point (Al?)...Ian got sunstoke...again.


Tupiza, home to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid


New Years boozey brits 


Charlie already on her way...


Ian looks suprisingly sober...but still bald. Ben on the otherhand...


For years Ian has been looking for a way to find his penis


Boozing on rum and coke...with a bit of rats piss mixed in...probably




Next time on Wraggy and Hunters increasingly numerous photos of buildings and landscapes....the Salt Flats (with much better photos), four days of sweating, listening to James Blunt, rounded off with a big salty finish! Just a typical weekend then. Adios amigos...
