Salto, Uruguay


We left Colonia on a 5:55am bus to head to Salto next. My plans of sleeping were quickly dashed when the bus filled with high school kids about 50 mins later. Everytime I thought the bus was full, another group of four got on and they were all over the aisle and armrests and they were wide awake and chatty. The bus finally let them off at what looked like the middle of a field from my seat, and naturally I slept the rest of the way.

Salto is a town near some hot springs (Termas de Dayman) that we spent the day at. It had about 7 different pools, and thankfully 2 of them were covered so we didn´t get burnt by the sun. We´re still yet to see more than 5 minutes of rain on this trip. I tried the Asado here, which is barbeque (thanks Jackee). We also actually stayed in a budget hotel for the first time, here´s Mark enjoying tv in the room for the first time, appreciating a telenovela.

Wow...out of Argentina already?

Can you give us a short list of places you've been so we can trace your travels on a map? I'm assuming that you've not posted for every place you've been...but maybe you have.

I'm just stoked you guys are keeping up with this so we can keep up with you.

Have fun, and stay away from the peyote.

I just counted and we´ll be weaving in and out of Argentina several times. We will enter and leave it a total of 4X once we´re done. We´ve been in and out twice already. Btw - the itenerary is posted.
