Tired, sick and ready to move on

We haven't written a blog for awhile as there's not been much to say.  After Uyuni we took a bumpy bus ride to Tupiza where we had ideas about horse riding through canyons, but Jason's stomach had other ideas and he spent a night sleeping on the bathroom floor and still only just making it to the toilet in time.  After a couple of days of recovery we decided to leave Bolivia and go to Argentina where hopefully the hygiene would be a bit better and our stomachs would thank us.  Three more hours on a bumpy, dusty bus got us to the border where we were incredibly grateful to board an Argentinian bus.  Only semi-cama, but in Argentina that still means a very comfortable trip and the road was sealed - a great improvement from Bolivia where we went off road as often as on!!   Arriving in Salta we discovered Jason hadn't had food poisoning as we'd assumed, but a bug and it was now my turn to get comfortable in the bathroom.  After a full week in one spot we splurged on the fanciest bus imaginable with a flat bed, hot meals and champagne on tap.   After a surprisingly good nights sleep we arrived in Buenos Aires where we're currently relaxing before flying to England!
