Well since our last update we have been busy. Mendoza was a lovely little town, and the wine was amazing. We sampled as much as we could each night with our huge steak dinners and would highly recommend any wine from Mendoza to all you people back home buying wine. We did a wine tour to a couple of local vine yards as well as an olive oil factory! The free wine we got was not so great but the absinth we got at another place made up for it! Whilst in Mendoza we also went to a local football game, we happened to stumble accross a crowd so followed them and ended up in the stadium. it was pretty cool. They were a 2nd division team and the home crowd was amazing, lots of music and drums playing throughout and signing and cheering, very entertaining. Apparently the game was good too, there were lots of goals, 4-2 score and a red card! From Mendoza we headed back into Chile to Santiago. We loved this city. It was sunny and warm and clean and not overly busy. It had a metro system, much nicer than our underground which made getting around to all the sights very easy. We stayed in a brilliant hostel and met a great group of people there so spend every night out in the city in the local clubs and bars it was brilliant. Do not ask John too many questions about the last night out, he does not remember too much - drunken fool. Whilst in Santiago we also went horse racing. It was a very fun morning, John got straight into the swing of things and came away with 3 winners and a 2nd and a 3rd from the 5 races we saw - very impressive. From Santiago we headed back into Argentina to Bariloche which is where we are now. This is a town in the Lake District, its a ski resort in winter but as it is summer it is just a very pretty town on a lake surrounded by mountains. Its beautiful, i love it here. We hired bikes and went riding around the area, its all so pituresque and perfect. John also did some paragliding which he loved. They just strapped him to a man with a parachute and ran off a cliff. They floated around and took in all the views, think he is hooked and wants to do it again. Anyway that is all for now. Oh apologies there have not been any photos but the last lot we downloaded wont upload onto here, so you will have to wait for the next lot i am afraid. Sorry xxxx
