A rest day.After breakfast we took a walk to the old jesuit chapel „La Banda“ wich now is a museum where you can get an impresion of the colonial life in the 19th century.
Rest of the day we just walked around enjoying the micro climate.Back at the hotel I cleaned the bikes and lubricated the chains.

What a night!On the camping at Amaicha del Valle people were partying all the night with loud music and chatting everywhere.We didn t get too much sleep and got up before the alarm clock rang at 5:30am.The pavement of the road continued to be as bad as before,but as a difference to the way to Amaicha now the climbing began to be really steep.
Sunday January 16, 2011, 67 km (42 miles) – Total so far: 810 km (503 miles)
Back on the road at 7am.Leaving Cafayate you could see on both sides of the road all the vineyards.There was almost no traffic and we enjoyed the landscape and the fresh breeze of the early morning.

We started riding at 6.30am with our bellies still full from the barbecue last night.The road was still quiet with not much traffic.Beside the road there were a lot of tabacco fields, and where the leaves were hung to dry,you could taste the fresh smell of the future cigarettes.

After having a relaxed breakfast, we took it easy and started on the road to Cafayate at 11:30.Actually we didn`t have a fixed destination just riding and see where the road would take us.This time passing through Salta was not so nice, we even had to ride a couple of kms on the highway.A little be scary when the drivers pass you so close at the speed of 130km,but we survived!!
Tuesday January 11, 2011, 160 km (99 miles) – Total so far: 516 km (321 miles)
Provided with two sandwiches from our Hotel at 7AM we were on the road again.Traffic was increasing so we had to watch our mirrors very often to avoid getting hit from a huge truck or a bus, that pass you quite near sometimes.
