We have now been gone for five weeks in total, and we feel like we have seen so many beautiful places in the past weeks, but still there are a few we would like to share with you.

We would also like to say a big thank you, for all the nice comments. It feels really nice to hear from you and we send you a loving thought every time we read them.

After a few guided trips we decided to take matters into our own hands and drove a long trip into the mountains. First stop was the highest viaduct in the world. It was only a short stop, because we had a long way ahead of us.

The roads turned out to be worse than expected. Most often gravel roads with big holes,but the tiny car we had rented took its punishment well.

Until we where officially in the middle of nowhere, and one of the tires blew (well, it was actually completely destroyed...).

The change of tire was quickly done, but Miriam was not happy about the possibility of losing another tire and being stranded in the desert. (Actually,I have to admit: I turned into a bit of a drama queen. I already imagined we would be stranded, and then would freeze and starve to death before the voltures would come to eat us...)

Luckily the remaining tires held up and we reached the salt flats. An impressive place that made Miriam very happy (we're still alive!).

We continued to drive up into the mountains where we would stay for the night. The next morning we took a hike up to see the 7 coloured mountain up close. Not only was this mountain beautiful, but the whole area is so peaceful and the colors melt together in impressive shapes and breathtaking views.

Allan could not help himself and had to climb one of the mountains before beginning the long journey back to Salta.
