Argentina

Update September 27, 2010: After 3 weeks in the united states and a awesome time in north america we fly down to Buenos Aires (Argentina), where for sure a new world is waiting for us. The first three weeks we will go in a Language school to learn spanish. After this we have more than three months of travelling in south america.

Update October 15, 2010: After 3 weeks in Buenos Aires we are looking forward and are exciting to start our travel in sudamerica. We studied 2 weeks in a spanish school, which we think can be helpful just to speak some couples of words in spanish when we are on our way. We meet many nice people in our Hostel and had a great time with a lot of fun. Thanks guys for the time in Hostel Residencia Belgrano. Hope we see you again! Tomorrow we travel with the bus (22 hrs) up north to the huge waterfalls of Iguazu.

Update October 21, 2010: After a 23 hrs bus ride from Iguazu to Salta, north of Argentina, we stayed there for a couples of days. We made a great one day trip up to the north of Salta where we visited the salinas grandes and the 7 colors of Humahuaca. For lunch we ate milanese with lama meat - SUCCULANT!!!

My guide Alejandro (17 years old) showed me the right way through the valley.

That's the place of shame. In a little village called Tafi the Valle in the middle of nowhere we got robbed from a fucking idiot.

Update October 27, 2010: We got robbed in Tafi de Valle Argentina. The guy who made it stayed in the same room in the hostel like us and we had dinner together, next morning he stole a few things and we saw him drive away with my backpack with his motoerbike. We called the police and they got him for a moment but he could left. The backpack was left on the street but the rest (iPod, Handy, Notebook) was gone forever. And the best is, I had to pay the police for give me the backpack back. (100 Peso = 25CHF) for us nothing for them much :-) Another bad expirience but here it is like normal and we are looking forward.
