San Salvador de Jujuy

Wednesday 10th November

CULTURE SHOCK!!!!

No bowler hats to be seen. People sitting in roadside cafes taking coffee. Very few indigenous looking people. Some people well over 1.90CM tall and very few oompaloompas. Brand new 4x4 pick up trucks cruising the main street. This was Argentina and not Bolivia. The prices also reflected the change of country!

Jujuy has few outstanding features and one of them is the town square. This was absolutely full of tents because the civil service union was on strike and they proceeded to march round the town. We went in the other direction.
