Mendoza - wine, horses and more yummy asado!
... with an amazing asado (Argentinian slow-cooked BBQ) in the hills, and after a sing-along around the fire, until 2am. An amazing night. After all that wine and exertion it was time to relax (and detox) with a day at Cacheuta thermal spa, around 35km into the hills west of Mendoza. What an amazing place! Floating in a warm pool under the sun, staring up at the mountains was a very relaxing and indulgent experience. So after a 6 wonderful days here ...
Don't cry for me Argentina...
... was cooked medium rare and was so soft. Delicious! It was another feast with plenty of salad, potatoes, bread and empanadas as a starter (a traditional dish of Argentina) and wine of course. It was good fun with Alice and Hannah (it was our last night together and it's been so much fun, they're off to party in BA now - god help them!) and it gets you mixing with other hostel people. Im looking to chill in the next stage of my journey and cut back the ...

Eftir 3daga í Salta var haldið til hinna sögufrægu Iguazu Fossa. Þeir eru einir af þeim vatnsmestu og stærstu fossum veraldar og eru á UNESCO heimsminjaskrá.
Þar hittum við aftur okkar ...
Up to Santiago waar het beeft
... 100 meter sprint wilde verbeteren. Dat heb je als je snel ff nog een foto wilt nemen voordat de bus weg gaat. Daarna met de bus naar een Inca spa geweest. Ja die Inca's namen het ervan. Schitterende uitzichten. Helaas was de hoogste berg van de Andes verstopt in de wolken. Aconcagua - 6959 m hebben we wel enkele dagen later kunnen fotograferen.
Bij terugkomst hebben we lekker zitten luieren op ons eigen ...
