Salta (Argentina)

Salta je pekne mesto - kolonialni architektura, v okoli kopce huste porostle neprostupnou zeleni. A suche stepi vystridaly lany cukrove trtiny. Na hostelu mame sraz s Keironem, nasim kamaradem s Irska. V planu je jen odpocinek. Dlouho jsme se snazili sejit v Dublinu a konecne to vyslo az v Argentine. Stastlivec ma 3 roky placeneho volna a tak ho cekaji jeste 2.5roku cestovani a bere to peclive. Nejdriv pul roku v centralni americe, ted pul roku v jizni.
Cely den stravime potulovanim po meste a vymenovanim zkusenosti z predchozich destinaci (jedeme zrovna opacnym smerem). Vecer zajdeme na par piv a k tomu si dame pecene kuzle do restaurace se zivou hudbou a latinskymi tanci. Kuzle jime poprve a chutna nam. Druhy den jdeme koupit jizdenky a vyjedeme lanovkou na mestskou vyhlidku. Navecer uvarime, popijime a hrajeme karty.
Poprve zvladam velmi lehkou konverzaci ve spanelstine s taxikarem. A pozdeji v noci rozumim vsemu co nam rika recepcni o koncerte jeho kamaradu. Ze bych se zacal do spanelstiny dostavat? Nebo maji v Salte vyslovnost ktere rozumim? No, spis to vidim na 1.5litru vina co jsem vypil...alkohol jednoznacne bori jazykove bariery :)
Nejvetsi vzruseni co v Salte zazijeme je setkani se svycarkoceskou Janou, ktera umi hodne dobre cesky, tak ji s ni trochu procvicime.
Pristi prispevek bude uz z Bolivie a bude se na co tesit. Je to narez!

Salta is quite nice town - colonial architecture, surrounded by hills covered in thick greenery. And dry landscape changed into fields of sugar cane.
The main plan for Salta is rest and meeting up with our Irish friend Keiran. We tried to meet up in Dublin for quite a long time and finally managed in Argentina..Lucky man has 3yrs time to do whatever he wants.
We spent the whole day just wandering around town and exchanging experiences and tips for next destinations as we head in opposite directions. In the evening we go to the restaurant to listen to some local music and watch latino dances and try a goat for the dinner (quite nice!). Next day we just buy tickets for the buses and take cablecar to town viewpoint. Evening is full of cooking, wine and cards.
For a first time I manage to have an easy conversation with taxi driver. And later in the night I understand to everything our receptionist says about a concert of his friends. Looks like I start to get into the Spanish? Or is it the Salta accent? Well, probably it´s down to the fact I have already 1.5litres of wine in me...alcohol definately erases all language barriers :)
Probably the biggest excitment of the trip comes when we meet Swissczech girl that speaks nearly fluent Czech.
Next post will be from Bolivia and there is a lot to look forward to. It´s mindblowing!
