¡Hola!
Well, I'm back from my trip now and have lots of fabulous memories!
The trip went like this: Buenos Aires, Concepcion del Uruguay, Puerto Iguazu, Corrientes, Salta, Cafayate, Tucuman, Mendoza, Santiago, Valdivia, Bariloche, El Bolson, El Calafate, Rio Gallegos, Ushuaia, Puerto Madyrn and then back to Buenos Aires for my flight back to London via Atlanta!
Overall Argentina and Chile were great. They are both very European in terms of their look and feel, but unfortunately this didn't come across in their food or their language (both of which were pretty hard to understand!)
Something that was particularly unexpected was the obsession with ham and cheese in Argentina! We started to realise this about a week into the trip, with every menu and bus trip including ham and cheese sandwiches - one bus journey served us three types of bread all with ham and cheese and I even had a lasagne with ham and cheese in it!!
I will however miss the abundance of Malbec wine, the availabilty of great meat, the sun, the scenery and the wildlife. It's such a vast country with endless places to visit...I'd definitely go back!
