In about an hour I will get the chance to experience first class bus service, as I head from Salta to Cordoba...They say you are served champagne, and the seats recline 180 degrees. Full report tomorrow.

Update 16 Dec: Now, there are many bus companies in Argentina, but I can attest that La Veloz del Norte does not live up to the hype. No champagne. No 180 degree recline, only about 140 degrees. And a guy who snored very very loudly. (Also two very cute young children who had to report on everything they saw out the window.) Lucky for me I had ear plugs. Oh, and the bus smelled like air freshener. Still, for a 14 hour bus ride, not so bad. The bus company to Buenos Aires tomorrow night is supposed to be superior, so maybe I´ll get the goods after all. In any case, I made it to Cordoba and to the hotel here. Its nice enough, though a bit off the beaten trail. My job today... wander around, figure out how to do laundry and what to do with myself tomorrow.
