-
well good morning guys and greetings from
-
i think today we're going to be leaving the province of jujuy a little bit early than expected
-
because the altitude has just been wreaking havoc especially on my dad today i think is
-
like day five of like no food and just feeling really really sick so we've actually booked a
-
hotel near the airport in salta argentina because we're flying out tomorrow and we're just gonna
-
you know pack it up load the car and leave this afternoon we had initially planned to do a big
-
barbecue we wanted to do a jujuy style barbecue show you the wines we bought and all that and
-
yeah i mean we went to the supermarket we got the meat we got the charcoal so we're
-
just we're making a quick barbecue to just eat a lunch um we'll show you a bit of that but then
-
the goal is to just go back to salta because we're going to be descending about 1400 meters
-
which is quite a bit and that should improve the situation we had grand plans for our biggest auto
-
and we were going to stay here another night i think you already mentioned that but um we bought
-
some meat yesterday we're gonna cook it up have a little bit and there's a dog that's been hanging
-
around here i think we're going to feed it barbecue for the dog the grill master today is our
-
commission you know out of commission not feeling his best so this is a real travel day right here
-
low energy feelings yeah guys change of plans like this is this is one of those times where it's
-
almost like you don't even know if you should film it or not but trying to be realistic and show you
-
what like kind of a not so great day it looks like um none of us are feeling that good and sharing
-
with my friend the dog he's already finished his first phone my goodness we have a fast
-
eater yeah we're just having a quick lunch on the go gonna load the car head south you ready for it
-
oh
-
here we are at the gas station fueling up and getting ready to start the journey
-
south sam got me some doritos and gatorade i can't forget the alfajor
-
i'm gonna be driving today so that hopefully my dad can rest a bit he hasn't been sleeping at
-
night i don't know if you'll be able to sleep in the car let's go probably not probably not
-
normally not probably not oh man we're all we're all dropping like flies here my stomach is a bit
-
weird today like you've had a sore throat yeah and um yeah we had a great time up north but uh
-
our health is failing us so we are we are leaving a night early going back to sea level yeah we're
-
not quite quite tomorrow 1400 meters lower i'm tomorrow and tomorrow will be at sea level
-
yeah so yeah that's a plan i'll be driving right so basically we found a hotel slightly outside
-
of salta argentina near by the airport and um yeah we got about three hours to
-
drive
-
we're rolling welcome to our hotel here in the outskirts of salta
-
we conveniently chose a property that's maybe like five minutes from the airport so
-
getting there tomorrow is going to be super easy yeah but yeah i think i had a good drive
-
three hours i drove back did well you did really well it was nice because we were able to avoid uh
-
going back through salt to city oh yeah we didn't have to deal with downtown traffic my goodness
-
so yeah i should tell you we got an excellent deal on this place we found it on booking.com
-
this morning like while we were eating breakfast we were looking for hotels
-
and we paid 25 per room 27 27 okay 27 per room yeah but it includes half board so that means
-
dinner tonight and then breakfast the following morning yeah i mean 27 divided by two
-
that's less than fourteen dollars per person for places to sleep in two meals yeah for us and then
-
you basically your dad is it's the full 27 but he has his own room he has uh yes he has three
-
beds in his room very spacious rooms are huge and um aside from that we're gonna how we're gonna
-
do this this vlog at this point it's gonna be travel vlog and we're gonna take we're gonna take
-
you to buenos aires so we're gonna show you the flight and we're gonna head back to the capitol
-
our time in northern argentina has basically come to an end that's it we spent quite a bit of time
-
here we were in uh we started in tukuman yeah and then we came to salta province of argentina for a
-
while and then we were in overall really good i mean our health failed us a bit near the end
-
but uh luckily today finally is the first day i'm doing better yeah because uh i'm taking some
-
antibiotics yeah and uh i'm on my third pill and it's uh day and night uh difference yeah
-
these past four days it was just a horror horror story we thought it was the altitude sickness
-
but it wasn't it was some sort of a bug or uh some sort of uh yeah i don't know something
-
for four or five days yeah and it was extremely debilitating because diarrhea and nausea and you
-
feel like vomiting and your strength is depleted i mean to the point you cannot even stand up so
-
this is the worst yeah this is the worst now i'm back to kind of a normal we came down 1400
-
meters yesterday yeah and i mean salt is still fairly high up but it's just considerably lower
-
than huhui yeah and today we're flying to basically close to sea level in buenos aires
-
level and uh well if you come and visit and you go over up to the mountain areas or whatever and you
-
happen to get sick yeah don't forget that here in argentina you can go to your local pharmacy
-
yeah and talk to the pharmacist and in most cases he can prescribe you like we got some
-
antibiotics and stuff like that thanks god because uh that's what saved the day yeah yeah it's not as
-
strict yeah as in some other countries like canada if you don't have a prescription forget it the
-
pharmacy only over the counter uh medication the rest forget it but here is more lux you can save
-
a vacation let's say you know i mean yesterday's decision to come here was probably one of the best
-
uh things we decided on the whole trip we've all got healthy we all had a really good sleep last
-
night we weren't rushed to leave in the morning yeah and this was a nice place uh the a-ball hotel
-
fabio los hotel right next to the airport we got a nice dinner a nice breakfast the price it's just i
-
couldn't believe it because by the price that uh you pay here for that double room you get
-
dinner and breakfast uh with a lot of stuff in that breakfast huh oh it's great ham cheese fruits
-
fruit salads croissants coffee whatever even a swimming pool and it's a locked in uh yeah
-
area there is no access for other people so if you have the chance and you need to stay here close
-
to the airport this is the spot and now we've got a flight we've got norwegian air a budget
-
flight back to uh to buenos aires argentina and i think that's it i think you know if we're all
-
feeling good enough we're gonna go for a nice meal tonight too so it'll be the first time
-
in a while that all three of us have been able to go out for dinner yeah it's gonna be great
-
i got some northern argentine food my last chance to do so
-
three empanadas cup of wine on special for 210 pesos that's like just over three bucks
-
so a good deal this makes a nice little snack we're going to be having
-
probably steak tonight so we don't want to blow it we don't want to blow it for lunch
-
so yeah we made it to buenos aires argentina back uh we had a beautiful flight eh oh it's great but
-
uh norwegian airline is amazing i mean they're they're they're very uh courteous eh yeah they're
-
gonna take care of the people the passengers yeah we had a beautiful flight the fly was
-
not full so these guys were able to switch uh seats yeah we had our we had a whole row
-
yeah we each had like entire roasters yeah entirely yeah it was a nice smooth ride yeah
-
you were able to film a lot from the window when we were descending we went by uh one of
-
probably one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the whole uh in the whole city or province
-
yeah it's it it it's basically like uh i don't even know how you would describe it's like a
-
manicured pond area yeah it's a man-made uh artificial artificial reclaimed land
-
lakes and stuff like lakes yeah i've never seen so many swimming pools yeah we made it
-
to the city we are in the apartment and now we're going for a piece of meat or something
-
my stomach is doing much better so i can attack yeah we've been waiting to do this for a while
-
and so uh we're gonna we're gonna really enjoy a nice meal the three of us can actually eat
-
and eat well i won't be able to have any wine because of the antibiotics but at least i'll
-
i'll drink yours for you that's it don't ask for a big bottle i think you know you need to wash your
-
hands i'll be doing it all myself right dinner has arrived what are we having it sure has well
-
i'm sharing some steak with my dad because these are monster pieces of meat we got which one
-
in argentina how can you go wrong okay and for me after four days of nothing in the stomach today
-
i'm in heaven you know what did you get sam i got the exact same thing
-
the only difference is wine is a beefa chorizo but it comes with a sauce on top
-
basically a baked potato loaded with cheese and bacon how thick that is guys and juicy hello
-
that's how i like it we've gone to a lot of steak houses and almost all of them have been incredible
-
so you can eat pretty much confidently anywhere in the city and get a good cut of meat well guys
