... that were living in the bathroom door of our first room whose nocturnal acquaintance has led to Laynni to now open all doors with a quick violent shove as she jumps back out of harm&#8217;s way as though she&#8217;s expecting a surprise bathroom party, or maybe just a really bad firefighter. You can never have enough phobias, that&#8217;s what I always say. Well, that and &#8220;do you think this rash is less red, or more red?&#8221;<br><br>Tomorrow we&#8217;re taking to ...

... the point!). On the previous excursion we saw loads of wild donkey but never stopped so I could get a decent picture for Graham. This time I not only got a picture of me with one of them, it was a cute baby one! Unortunately the older one took a dislike to one of the members of my tour group and chased after him and bit him on the back!! I steered well clear after that! In Cachi I visited a mueseum with various Incan items and also the cathedral (80% of it ...

... the bus loader who basically is a young fella throwing the bags on. We have heard that there is no need to tip or if you do you only tip 1/4 or 1/2 peso. We ususally do but as we had spent every penny we had nothing left so after i handed up the bags i was met with a stare and ´2 pesos´. Firstly to ask for 2 pesos was cheeky but worse follwed. The young fella would not take no for an answer even after me continually trying to tell him we had no money, I even ended ...

... and told us that we had to go and see it.<br>While Will and I were there we decided to do it, we got an English version of the description, and read it before we went in.<br>Basically, the Inca&#8217;s preformed human sacrifice, and offered the children up to the god of the sun, the children that where chosen were from different Inca areas, like Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Peru it was also used as a way to bring the different Inca tribes together, and bond the regions and also ...

It's probably been a little too long since I updated this, so in light of the wet weather outside and the lovely strangers who gave me a lift into the town centre to avoid the rain, (which left me feeling very positive about Salta and it's people), I feel now is a good opportunity to reflect on my time here. I've been in Salta nearly 3 weeks and the time is flying, although equally I feel like I could´ve been here for years. The rhythm of my time here seems to fall into a two beat pattern ...

I love Salta. No seriously, I do. Despite the fact it took me 23 hours on a bus to get there from Puerto Iguazu and the food was dismal compared to the luxury living I had had on the bus between Puerto Iguazu and Buenos Aires, Salta was brilliant. I had a seat to myself mostly on the bus (woop woop!) and was amused by the Israelis on the bus with them saying to a German traveller at one point "can you close the curtain please, the sun is getting in my eyes", German ...

... day, we saw a dermatologist here in Salta and she assured us it was just a severe allergic reaction, most likely to something he ate, we still think it was something in the pizza. We are continuing with the medication and he is all clear today. As a result, our route has changed (again) and we are now heading east towards Brazil, staying in closer proximity to decent medical care for the next wee while, just in case. This is our third ...

I arrived in Salta late at night. It was after 1:00 am, never the best time to land in a strange city. The bus station in Salta is a big modern one. Free toilets is a bonus. It was raining. I trundled out to the taxi rank and announced my hostel of choice to the taxi guy. Of course he never heard of it. I pulls out my lonely planet and shows him on the map. Now he knows where it is. I hop in the taxi and before I know we are out side. I pay the taxi ...
