We left Iguazu on Wednesday evening at 9pm, and arrived at Corrientes at 6.15am the following morning. Another very comfortable bus ride! We had till 9pm before we boarded another night bus for Salta. We were not very hopeful about what to do in the city, Lonely Planet is not very kind about the city! We left our bags at the station and headed into the city for an early breakfast. We stumbled across a lovely art deco cafe and managed to wile away two hours. The weather was gorgeous, probably my first really lovely weather day in the two months I’ve been away. And then everyone we met from shop keepers, waiters, tourist information people were really friendly and nice. We spent the morning wandering around the cities parks, and principle buildings. We had wanted to go to the art museum but it was closed for building work. We had a nice long lunch with some excellent fish, which I later found out was catfish. We spent the afternoon on the beach by the river, before heading back into town for some empanadas, and now back on the bus for thirteen hours on the way to Salta.

Our impressions of the city. Yes it’s a little average and not huge amounts going on, but: Nice people, good food, great weather, and a nice chilled change from BA and off the tourist track after Iguazu. And we had a great day together, 8 out of 10!
