Campers were talking until the early hours and they helpfully left the light on that shone straight down onto our tent. Again, we got little sleep. This is getting ridiculous.
Argentinians have shitty tents and the all-night talkers had such a bad ridge tent, their feet were poking out the ends. I guess they've never heard of mosquitoes.


The cycling today was pretty good. We had beautiful scenery, like monument valley. We kept seeing signs saying "Zona De Badeness" but we don't know what that means.




There was a fascinating variety of rocks on this winding desert road. It got pretty hot though, and we ran out of water. We bought some grapes from a house we passed and they gave us water. She looked at our bikes and said we were 'loco'.

We clocked 100km and were pooped. We saw a stop that advertised WiFi, so we pulled in for a drink and some google-earthing.
It turned out their WiFi wasn't working but they went off to fix it by wiggling the cable atop a ladder.It worked, so we were happy. We were so tired we decided to stop here. They had cabañas for AR$160, which is a lot of money, but we were so tired we took it.

The cabaña was lovely. we had a bath (and left a ring around it) and did a lot of google-earthing. It looks as though we have some formidable days ahead of us after San Salvador De Jujuy. It's a shame to have lost so much altitude from the 68, but we'll gain it again. We're fitter now than we were.
