How long?

Hi all, just wanted to draw attention to the fact that we have now been away 100 days, woo hoo!! (I can hear all the party poppers, and streamers going off at home!!) It certainly doesn`t feel like a hundred days. Although the time really is flying by, it`s starting to hit home now that we are planning our time in NZ and Fiji, as when we came away those countries seemed a lifetime away!

Yesterday we took the bus from Salta to Cordoba, it was just over 12 hours which was quite a short trip by Argentinian standards. Cordoba is "The Heart" of Argentina, and is the 2nd biggest city to BA, it is also where all the Argentinian Universities are so you can imagine it`s quite a young and lively place with lots of bars and cinemas etc. We will stay here a few days before heading off to a smaller place called Rosario which is reportedly another busy place, and nearer to BA which is where were heading back to for next Friday.

We went on the trip on Saturday and to be honest we were a bit disappointed, were not sure if it`s because were all cultured out, but everything we saw we had pretty much seen already in the other countries we have already visited. It was 15.5 hours on a little mini bus too, right at the back getting bounced out of our seats. It was good to get off the beaten track though and see some of Argentina, it is a beautiful place but a little bit too big to do the place justice in 3 weeks.

We are definitely ready to leave Sth America now, although we will be sad to leave, mentally we are now geared up to NZ and having our own transport again, and not having to eat out EVERY day/night! I also feel like I`m running out of thing`s to blog about!!
