We got here and set up our tent in the ‘camp site’ aka the hostel garden where the hostel owners kids were all playing football. We were again, the only people camping. We were told that it was an hour walk to the lake, so we set off for a day chilling by the lake. 2 hours later, we still hadn’t reached the lake and it wasn’t getting any closer to us.. so we decided to turn back. Meals were included in the price of our stay and we were told 8.30pm for tea. At 10pm we were finally fed the smallest portion of lentils and fried egg and were absolutely starving going to bed.
The next day, we hired some bikes and cycled to the valley, stopping off for some lunch which Kerry made at the hostel. Jonho ate pasta salad and enjoyed it (changed man). When we got to the valley it was all down hill and was so fun!!! Until, Jonho got a flat tyre snd we had to stop. It started raining, was freezing and we were stood on the side of the road trying to hitch hike a lift back until a bus finally came! We got back to the hostel and this time were fed around 9.30pm. We were prepared this time though and had snacks and wine to keep us going. We got chatting to an English couple and had drinks with them in the evening.
The next day, we got a bus to Tucuman as we had an overnight bus from there to Mendoza. There will be no separate post for Tucuman as it was a bit of a shit hole and all we did was get a McDonald’s.
