Horse riding, rafting and Wine tour

Hey everyone

So we are on our last evening in Mendoza and are gearing up for an overnight trip on the bus to Buenos aires and then another overnight trip to the Iguazu falls. These are massive water falls and on the border of Brazil and Argentina, we really want to make sure we see them hence we are travelling up there before christmas.

We have had a great time chilling out in Mendoza and have had some seriously good wine- both cheap and more expensive, in restaurants, cafes and from the bodegas themselves. We have bought a couple of the nicer Malbecs for Christmas day and New Year to spoil ourselves with.

One of the best days we had in Mendoza was rafting during the day on the Rio Mendoza - which is basically a river which looks like a nesquik advert - but we were assured that was just sediment and not pollution! We have a good DVD of pictures taken by the company and will try and put photos up. It was really good fun, not least due to the humiliation of being made to wear wetsuits. On the same day we did a ´sunset horse ride´where some real gaucho cowboys took us out on some very docile horses across the Andes. There were lots of ýee ha´ from the group as we trotted and felt we were going really fast.... Next day there was lots of sore areas including heads from the wine and BBQ we had after the ride. We do have pictures of Glenn on the horse but it will take some more persuasion before publishing...

Anyway, off to the bus station for our marathon journey across Argentina. We are well armed with pringles, bananas and cheese rolls.

Love to everyone
