Arrived into Mendoza and my first hostel was fully booked so I began my trek to the second hostel and had success! Met a really lovely English guy and a totally miserable Irish guy and we went out for lunch! By the time we had lunch and had wandered around the city it was getting pretty late so we went back and I had a Spanish lesson! I was awful I get really embarrassed when in a group (no matter how small) due to my bad memory so once in Bolivia I will get o...

I was so tired today but luckily not hung over like everyone else after the whiskey last night! Just went to recoleta again in hope to find a new bag as mine is being held together with safety pins- not a good look! Had no luck on the bag front but we went to a tango show that night!

Got to recoleta and first went to the church and saw some old art ...

Luckily another backpacker walked by who could speak a little Spanish so I asked her to find out what was happening! Turned out the buses had been cancelled due to the rain so I jus...

Worse day of my trip so far and hopefully will be the worse day of the entire trip. Got up early to get the bus to concepcion! The guy I bought the ticket from said it would be 6 hours which meant I would get into concepcion in time to get the bus to el roble... Well he lied I didn't get in until 8 by which time the buses had finished and it was pitch black and I had no idea where to go as the lonely planet is less than helpful! But back to the bus journey...
