Greetings from the other side of the world! I'm assuming that you are most likely to be reading this from England or Guernsey.
We survived our 30 hour journey to Salta without too much of a hitch. They took our bikes on the planes, the screaming babies in the seats over the aisle stayed quiet long enough for us to sleep on the way over the atlantic. In fact, the most complicated part involved a short taxi ride from the airport. At one point we thought we wouldn't be able to fit even one boxed bicycle in the only estate-sized taxi at Salta airport and we seriously considered unpacking the bikes for a 20km cycle to our B&B. Luckily, determination won out. 
We're staying in a wonderful guesthouse run by a Dutch couple who have been hugely helpful. Yesterday we had our first awesome argentine steak - the portions are so massive we shared a steak between us. Pob had another steak for lunch today but we're going to a pizzeria tonight to avoid 2 steaks in a day!
Finally, Feliz primavera! Today is officially the 1st day of spring, and it's 32C.
lol congratulations for getting the bikes in the taxi. and for not double-steaking :) x

Don't you wish you had a folding bike??? ;-) Well done for getting there in one piece and putting your bikes together successfully! Just don't go weighing it down now with steaks - you still got a gazillion miles to go!! Loadsa love, Lorazepam xxx
