The next day was a right off and we chilled out watching film in the hostel before our bus to Cordoba. We got to Cordoba and did not realise it was the May bank holiday in Argentina as well so a lot of places were closed. We went for a walk and there was luckily a bakery open so we filled up on all things naughty. After a nap we headed out for dinner. We ended up in a lovely restaurant where I had steak and mash with some veg, it was very yummy. It was all very c...

We headed to Mendoza on a 1pm bus and it was a long journey (21 hours) and they only gave us a snack bag so we picked up some snacks on the way. That morning I met Frank over breakfast and he had only arrived in Bariloche the night before but he decided to head to Mendoza with us.

The girls took an instant dislike to us, not sure why and so the war was on. I like to think I act like a grown up but when girls act this b****y and guys like d*** then well the feisty side of me comes back out.. Two of the la...

We got to our hostel and literally collapsed. We woke up the next day and I was happy to enjoy some cornflakes for the first time in South America. Gosh its amazing how you miss some things :) We then headed out for a look around the square. It was the day of the elections.. and it was Sunday so most things were shut anyway. Its quite nice as most things are closed in South America on Sundays. Not like us Western countries were everything is open even on Christma...
