The walk to the top of the hill felt quite like doing sports (many locals were actually jogging up the stairs) and I think that I have been loosing some weight during the trip as well. The walk was supposed to be to be 1000+ steps. The view over the town was pretty nice and definitely well-earned after this steep walk.

Back in the town, I tried to sort out my camera problem (I forgot the USB to camera adapter at home and have been asking about every traveller if he/she has a Sony camera) The solution which a guy from the hostel came up with was to get a CD burned in the local photo store (which was quite expensive in the end) But – the computer here doesn’t have a CD-Rom and seems to be 10 years old.. Aaaagrh.

I met a French guy who has been travelling for years through India, Spain, Ireland and South America and is originally from Paris. He made me some really nice spaghetti! (the hostel has a nice kitchen but he was still hunting for salt for a while) In general, I seem to be currently on the long time travellers trail as I have met a few people who are travelling for a few months and started their trip in Ushuaia (southernmost city) But by far, the most people I have met so far were Israelis. The whole country seems to be into travelling.. The evening was nice, with a large BBQ and with two tango dancers. I will be leaving Salta with the nightbus at around midnight to the Bolivian border and arrive in Bolivia in the morning where I need to take another train to Uyuni which will arrive again during midnight. The distances are getting shorter, but I don’t feel like I need less time for travelling. I am currently already about 1500 kms away from Rio where it all started and all this in just about one week.
