The bus terminal of BsAs is quiet for it´s new year´s day and most of the people stay at home curing the hangover of the previous night….The bus company „General Urquiza“is the only one that does the long stretch to to the small town of „Chilecito“, and they seem to be very aware of this fact.

Almost the sun is too hot to do some sightseeing, but anyway we headed to the center of town by subway. The ticket sale´s counters were all empty and closed, so no one bought a ticket. We also took it as a nice christmas gift from the town of BAs, muchas gracias!

Today we just relaxed,explored the city and went to the bus station to buy our tickets to go back to Buenos Aires.There is not much to do here and the town is not nice at all no reason to stay here.

Sunday January 23, 2011, 164 km (102 miles) – Total so far: 1,281 km (796 miles)
We started early at 6:30am.Getting out of the city was easy,that early there was not much traffic-only some party people from the fiestas the night before.The sun was rising slowly and we could get quite a good impression of what was waiting for us today. About the route we didn’t have much information but it seemed easy to find the way.Besides we had two maps: an argentinian one and a german one, „make assurance double sure“!!

In the morning we got a temperature schock going down from our Ac room to the lobby where they were offering breakfast.It was hot and humid like the usual weather in this part of Argentina.In the town of Catamarca itself there is actually not much to do.
Friday January 21, 2011, 149 km (93 miles) – Total so far: 1,117 km (694 miles)
We went to have breakfast at 7am,like always argentinian breakfast style,only this time there was some fruit salad that unfortunately tasted like the refrigerator.Almost 8am we were on the road,luckily the road had shoulders on its side.The landscape didnt change very much also tobacco and sugarcane but far away you already could see the mountains we were going to cross.
Thursday January 20, 2011, 99 km (62 miles) – Total so far: 968 km (601 miles)
First day with hard rain.Already in the night it started to rain and it wouldn’t stop.We started at 6am and we prepared ourselves with some garbage bags but it was senseless against the rain.After riding 8 km and almost wet to our bones we stopped at a small hut beside the road to get shelter from the rain.As we were wet, we felt the low temperature and we started to get really cold.
