Mendoza

Nice city, lots of wine. Very warm. Going on a winery tour tomorrow, well, catching a bus out to the wineries and knocking on their door. Bodega Norton, Zapata, Luis Rosca, a few others if we`re still thirsty. I`ve been trying to find a Salentein or a Bianchi wine, I´ve heard they`re very good. Not a lot here except for wine - well, there`s a bigish city, a huge park, rafting etc, but all the activities require a tour to get out of the city so I don`t think we`ll be staying here too long.

I think we`ve decided on going to Salta via Tucuman and Cafayate, but who knows.

We met up with a Dutch student and a Spanish (Basque) guy, ended up in a big university music festival - the Spanish guy just picked up a local paper and off we went.

The music had been advertised as reggae but turned out to be rock. Crowd surfing began almost before the band started. They definitely like their parties out here.

The sun has been very strong. We felt sun stroked today after having waited to venture out of the shade at 4pm.

  • I'm very annoyed to hear you are travelling the world again Matthew Harrup I'm sure it was my turn c'os you went last time. I'm sorry can't be bothered to read everything you've posted I'm just too sick jealous but the photos are fab.(may try to catch up later)You do seem to be discovering stuff I learnt right here in Bristol raising kids - stuff about not losing things and wearing natural fibres, only keeping things if they have at least three uses (which includes boyfriends) and wine opening being essential survival kit. Oh, but if you think other peoples' sreaming babies are annoying, just wait til you have your own it's way worse. Not only can you not get away from the ear piercing shreeks them but chances are they're pulling your hair and poking your eyes AND other people (who have a whole seat all to themselves) give you dirty, irritated looks too. Hey! you enjoy it all. Geraldine xxx
