Argentina Trip is OVER!
03/02/2006 - We’re back to Belgium. What a great journey and what a great country. It’s minus 3 here and it was 30 in Buenos Aires. The contrast is hard, on our mind and body. Pixelmaniac is back to bother everyone about a wrong pixel here and there.
So what do we remember from our trip.
THE PEOPLE (great or terrible)
- Horacio and Cecilia from Buenos Aires. Their kindness, the rafting and their great empanadas.
- Ines and Quilo for our great evening in Esquel talking about our little differences.
- Lorenzo from Quebec for making our trip even more interesting.
- The 3 girls from La Rioja for their bad mouth and our unexpected nice evening.
- The guy from Salta who was interested in the German & aryen culture and who sang some traditional german songs in the street.
- The Belgian guy who left belgium for unclear reasons. He said he showed his arse to the king of belgium.
- Pablo, the owner of the Prisamata hostel in Salta. Playing Ping Pong like others practice yoga.
- Alexis from France, oenologist, who gave us some tips on argentinian wines.
- Manu, my buddy for making this journey a real human adventure
The LANDSCAPES
- The Quebrada of Humahuaca
- The view near Iruya
- The road from Junin de los Andes to Bariloche
- The view from the top of the Rock in Bariloche
- The road between Salta and Cafayate
- The road between San Antonio de los Cobres and Salta
- Mendoza. Great sunny athmosphere
- The 7 colours hill near Purmamarca
MISC
- Dogs, they are very funny looking and act weird. They chase cars, donkeys, look like nothing we got over here…
- Driving in Argentina. Some post signs are hilarious and sometimes in completely wrong locations. Drivers are wild and don’t follow any rules
- The impact of the 2001 crisis. Positive for foreigners willing to travel for cheap, terrible for people there who lost a lot or everything
- The gigantic wave who flipped our raft over on the El Manso River, near Chile
