We arrived Saturday afternoon, had lunch and a siesta and decided to go out to see what the night life was like. We were told it rains every 3 months in Mendoza, it rained on our first night here which was just our luck. Anyway, the wine is nice here and we managed to finish a few bottles and on our second day we stayed in bed until around 2pm a little worse for wear before heading out on a mission to the shops to make a sunday dinner which was a fail, so we ended up with steak and chips (its a hard life). We met a couple and was chatting with them for the rest of the night.
On the next day we went to the park, had a walk around the lake until Jonhos flip flop snapped, so we stopped off for a beer and chilled out by the lake for the rest of the day. In the evening we got a couple more bottles of wine, cooked in the hostel and spent the night drinking with the other couple we met.
The next day, we got a bus to the wine region and hired some bikes and visited some wineries, did some tours and tastings which included trying the different malbecs, different grapes and basically drank alot of wine. We even got 2 free bottles! In the evening we went out for steak and watched the football.
On our final day we attempted to go to a different area of the park which we didn’t see (due to Jonho’s broken flip flop) and ended up getting a bus to the motorway so we got off, got the bus back the opposite way and went back to the hostel to chill in the garden with our free wine! Time for another overnight bus, Next stop Chile…
