Posadas and plans

Since i last updated the blog we have been sat on different buses for over 28 hours!

Cafayate -> Salta (4 hours)
Salta -> Resistencia (12.5 hours)
Resistencia -> Posadas (5.5 hours)
Posadas -> Puerto Isguazu (6 hours)

All the buses have been great apart from the 12 and a half hour cockroach infested pleasentry of the El Norte night bus to Resistencia!

In Salta we watched the amazing Chelsea 4, Liverpool 4 game as well as planning out the rest of our South American trip. We were only in Resistencia for 1 night, a nice enough city but nothing really to write home about. In Posadas we stayed for 2 nights, and went on a tour to some of the Jesuit Missionaries located round about. We visted Santa Ana, Loreto and San Ignacio all of which were very interesting. Some of the pictures might need a little explanation…

* The fussball table players are painted in the strips of Boca Juniors (blue and yellow) and River Plate (red and white). The biggest 2 teams in Argentina are playing each other on Sunday (19th) of April, and i am really hoping we can watch the game.

* The picture of me standing next to a tree in a row of pillars (near the end), is actually a pillar that has become completely engulfed by a tree!

* The following picture is of a termite hill. They are apparently very tough, and we have seen many in the fields around Posadas.

Plans for the rest of South America…

19-22nd of April – Stay in Iguazu and visit the falls.
22nd of April – Fly to Buenos Aires (it’s an 18 hour bus ride, and we really can’t face anymore at the moment!)
23rd of April – Move into an apartment in Recoleta where we will stay for our final 2 weeks in South America
30th of April – Go to a Boca Juniors game! :)
7th of May – Take our boat tour
9th of May – Fly to New Zealand!
