Salta, Argentina

Arriving in Salta was a little odd for me as it was my first time in months of being back in civilisation once again. Did i mention the Lomito...oh yeh, a steak butty with egg and whatever else is going :)
After many missinterpretations i found the Guemes statue, (spanish pronounciations have changed once AGAIN.... :( .......)
It was time to tackle their equivalent of Killiney Hill.
Salta at night.
I was not going to miss the opportunity to see real Inka people so i went to Museo De Arqueologia de Alta Montana, where the Inca children are kept that were found as sacrifices in the frozen Llullailaco mountain. There was over 100 different artifacts burried with the children as gifts for the gods upon their gifted journey.
After the museum myself and Tana went for an auld walk around the town. She was very interesting person, she is doctor with no borders who works in the like of Africa and so on for 6 months on and off and wears a bullet proof vest to work.
