Selsine, still doing that Argentina thing

So more from Argentina, although still not the pictures I keep talking about but still more information.

So one of the things that we did whilst we were in Argentina was take a 12 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires to Mendoza the heart of Argentinian wine country. Now the bus ride wan't that bad, we went in first class busses which means that you have leather seats that recline to flat and a foot rest that lifts up. This means that you have a bed that is about a foot and a half wide and about six feet long. They also have free meals and booze (including champagne) and movies to watch.

If you ever find yourself traveling on a bus in Argentina, spends the extra 28 pesos and travel first class, it's really worth it.

All in all it wasn't so bad, plus you leave at about 8:00 at night and then get to your destination the next morning.

Now when we were in Mendoza we went on two tours a Wine/Olive oil tour and a tour in the Andes. These were done on consecutive days. On our last day we went to Parque San Martín:





Mendoza is a pretty neat place although there really didn't seem to be much to do there besides going up into the mountains, checking our the wineries, and checking out the wine in their restaurants.

But if I go back I might just fly...
