We walked 20 minutes in the wrong direction when we arrived in Mendoza. It was the worst part of the trip so far because we had all our bags and it was so heavy. But we didn't start getting annoyed or anything, which usually one would do. We started just feeling sorry for ourselves. haha.
Mendoza, Argentina, is a great place with lots of stuff to do. We met some sound people in the hostel. We also met unsound people but sher that's bound to happen!
It was in Mendoza where we went on a wine tasting trip. Not much wine was tasted I have to say! a few glasseens. Fairly harmless now! The trip consisted of 2 wineries, an olive oil factory and a chocolate factory (which was more like a kitchen). The 'chocolate factory' was just us listening to a man pointing at loads of bottles and speaking Spanish. Elaine did a massive yawn while he was talking. Hilarious!
We had a deadly all you can eat in Mendoza and there was a lad up on the stage who looked like Ronaldo and he was singing cheesy Latino stuff. Brilliant.
We went skiing on the border of Argentina and Chile. High in the mountains. The snow was perfect. An hour lesson and then skiing at our own leisure for the day. Great stuff. I picked it up fairly handy, I still don't know which I prefer, skiing or snowboarding. I do think skiing is easier though. Elaine picked skiing up easier than the snowboarding in Canada.
We were videoing each other coming down the mountain on the skis. The ONE video I didn't get... Elaine came flying down at a high speed, it was mad... but she could't stop properly in time... She went right past me and DESTROYED a baby who was in the seating area with its family. It was beyond funny. The baby was on a chair drinking Sprite happily, and it ended up on the ground 10 feet away, tangled up in the chair, the skis, the ski poles, Elaine, and the Sprite bottle. It was a mess! And of course the poor baby had a big cry. Elaine was very shocked and mortified! hahaha
We also got sunburnt to bits, but around our eyes was white because of the sunglasses. It was very embarrassing. That lasted about 6 days. Scald!
Next stop .... Buenos Aires!!! a 13 hour bus journey!
