Bob and Nicks excellent adventures
Santiago to Mendosa
We decided to head out of stinkin chile and over the border to Mendosa Argentina. Bascially because we were in need of a good steak and chille is rather on the pricey side... a quid for a litre of beer being a fine example.
Seriously though Chile is much more expensive than its neigbours, and as every being on a budget it was time to get the hell out and experience SAmerican Bus travel. And what a bus trip. It cost a full 10quid to travel for 6 hours over the nicest mountain pass, whislt enjoying the view from our fully reclining chairs and being waited on by some gizza providing TEA and food......After gettin pissed the night b4 with some americans, this was exactly what was required!
Into Mendosa, and we had been prewarned.....there would be an unbelievable amount of the most Beautiful girls...And boy is there, this makes the east coast of america look like Birmingham, well not quite.
Argentina is Cheep. The hostel is pretty nice, with free breakfast, Internet and Tea and Coffee for 3.50 a night....Theres all you can eat steak bars for 4quid, and beers 50p a litre! heavy.
Well last night jet lag f***ed my royally and i slept for exactly 0 mins...all night, not even 40winks. s***tarse it was annoying and span me out rather a lot. I wasnt exactly up for the spot of treckin and abselieling in the Andes we had booked for today, but i'd spent my 10quid and i was gonna go! WE were pretty lucky because it was all sorted out by a couple of Canadian girls we met last night and required 0 planning, best way.
Well it was text book. Not a cloud in the sky. Pigeons (locally called Condors) flying overhead, (not that i bothered to look for them, so didnt acctually see one) a spot of abseling and then some hardcore top rope climbing.
That sure worked up an appetite! Straight into the first cafe we came accross and the nicest f***in Steak and cheese bap thing ive ever eaten - for a quid!. Damn the steak is good. Off out for a meal tonight, if i dont drop down dead through lack of sleep. Combined 8 hours for the last 3 nights.
Take it easy eh?! x
