Bob and Nicks excellent adventures
Ok for the third stinking time i will try and write what we have been up to......God damn stinking computer! im afraid it wont be as long as the first or second attempts. Gay argentinian comp
For a week now wE have been staying in a lovely ski resort 19 hrs south of Mendosa called Baraloche. Its a pretty awsome place, set on a huge lake, pretty cool. For the first few days we f***ed around watching footbal, drinking very very cheap gin and eating meat.
We met a gizza called Gus and a girl from the hostel and went trekin a couple of days ago. IT turned out to be one of the best trecks we have done so far. HArdcore s***, up a mountain hige above the snowline. 4hrs up, the last 2hrs treckin knee deep. The last climb to a little hut at the top was an absolulte nail, if you fell through the icey top of the snow, you fell waste deep! It was pretty cool, and great to reach the snowed in hut, with snow up to the base of the high windows and almost to the height of the top of the front door! The view was amaizing. People rave on about Nzealand, but Argentina! wow. I'll try and get some photos up some time, but not on this s*** arse comp.
When we got back that evening a local mountaineer told Gus that we were crazy to have done this walk. Aparantly avalanche risk is massive and people have gone missing up there never to be found! s***! Well we survived, but having thought about it the whole wading through wet snow up really steep slopes was dodgy as f***.
Next day and it was time for Nicks intorduction to Snowboarding. ITs pretty cheep here for boarding to, and although the snow wasnt the greatest we hada pretty good afternoon. It was highly amusing to watch nick repeatadly flail our of control down the mountain and take some heavy falls. It certainly wasnt good conditions for learning (icey Blue runs with exposed rocks) but he did pretty well, and after a feww hours could link some turns together and get down the hill at a reasonable pace. Hes feeling the pain today, but it serves him right for falling so much eh?!
Today we leave for Buenos Aries, another fat 20hr bus ride....looking forward to that one! Might ride 1st class and sup champers for an extra 6quid or so...werl see.
WE still have a bottle of Vodka and abottle of Tia Maria left over from last nights White Russions. The ltr Tia maria was 3quid and the ltr vodka a quid! Heavy!
Just been busy getting some heavy leather goods from the market.....More bargins, werl see if they survive the journey home.
Take it easy eh! Write on our stinkin message board you lazy fags.
