Slept through 3 alarms before getting up at midday, had to quickly shower and go and grab some water and enchiladas to make it in time to leave to go to the football! felt pretty ropey and the bus was about 200 degrees which wasn't great but got to the stadium for about 1400 where we met up with Ross, Elaine didn't fancy it guess she went shopping or something! Was really busy outside the stadium, people selling all sorts of stuff random food and drink stalls se...

Got to Buenos Aires at a decent time but by the time it took the bus to make its way through the centre (worse than London) it was about 1300 so was pretty tired and grumpy (after nearly 20 hours on my tod). Burnt my eyelids yesterday too so was looking pretty weird and pretty uncomfortable too! Went to get a taxi but they were trying to charge 70 pesos (about £7) to go 2 miles down the road so I just decided to walk it. Wasn't too bad, and was able to see a bit...

Woke up and moved to a hostel across the street which seemed just as nice and a fair bit cheaper! Left to go on a bike wine tour, leaving about midday with a pretty crappy map to find our way round! Started off in an olive vineyard where we found out about how they're grown and why there are a load off different types and how they're harvested. Went off to try some fresh olive oil and balsamic vinegar, don't think Laurie had eaten for a while as he was chompin...

Arrived in Mendoza after a 19 hour bus ride, was pretty funny as they had sold the number 34 seat twice and it happened that that was Laurie's seat! As a result he constantly had people telling him (in Spanish) that he was in the wrong seat so he kept showing them his ticket and refusing to move!! Apart from that it wasn't too bad a journey, getting a taxi to the hostel which seemed really nice, nice pool too. Was super hot and went for a walk around town, the...

Once we got here we wandered in the hostel, it was in the middle of nowhere but it looked quite nice. Checked in (only 8 other guests) and finally had our first showers in 4 days and they were hot and amazing!! We chilled for a bit before heading over to the bar where they had a BBQ for everyone, it was quality!! we had chicken skewers, chorizo sausage, lamb and one of the nicest steaks I've ever had on the BBQ and a lot of different salads all flushed down wi...
