Massivo lightening and rainstorm hot Salta before we left and flooded most of the city. Didn't effect us too badly as we were leaving at 01:30. The bus was a bit of a drama as the girl had booked us onto the night before's but some sweet talking in my impeccible Spainish and some Scottish charm managed to get our tickets redated to tonight. Bus was empty so both got 2 seats and managed to get half decent sleep for a change. Arrived at bastardo o'clock , well 8:30 actually but when u didn't get to sleep till 3:30 its more or less the same thing. Crossed the border without incident. Going up is meant to be fine but recon i'll try and fly back down as the crossing is meant to be pain! Also will prob take me best part of a week to get overland back to BA to meet Dad and Ruth! Bolivia is a world away from the other countries, visibly poorer and run down. Food is meant to be grim but the people seem to be nice enough. Stuck in the shitey border town till 3:30 when we can get a train for 9 hours to Uneyui where u can check out the salt plains - more on that later. Right need to dash as hostels need to be booked and food needs to be bought for journey. Laters, Me x
