Mendoza

Hi all - we have made it to our last stage on the journey in Argentina and need to start thinking about stocking up on Quilmes and alfajores before heading back to Europe via Miami! We have just checked in to the hotel in Mendoza and are relishing the fact that we have a double bed for the first time this trip. Much as John has been an excellent room mate for the duration of the trip to Buenos Aires, it is nice to get your own space again as well!

Dominga yesterday was AWESOME!!! Paul had the most amazing sushi and some really good salmon lasagne, the recipe for which he is going to inflict on his Swedish friends when he gets home. As with any excellent trip, he has started to worry about his waistline, and so we are about to go trekking around Mendoza just to check it out.

Also in the works are the plans for tomorrow and Friday - wine tour and horse trekking in the mountains (or nearby anyway), that will be the subject of a future post. However, I think that today's photo has to be of the taxi driver's chair from Mendoza - and it is a homage to all taxi drivers in Argentina, as we have been cheaply transported around this fair nation in vehicles in various states of disrepair, none of which had seatbelts. But it has been fun. Tee hee!
