Hey Everyone again! Sorry its been a while since our last update, the last couple of hostels havent had Internet!

Anyhoo, onto what we have been up to since we last wrote!

After Puerto Madryn we travelled to Bariloche in the lake district area of argentina, such a beautiful place! The snow was crap however so i didnt get to snowboard which was a bummer! So instead we did a whole lot of hiking, the views over the lakes were breathtaking! We even managed to get a glimpse of condors.... you can too if you look hard enough at the pics!

From Bariloche we headed north up to Mendoza, wine country! woop woop! Not quite what we were expecting from the city but the wine didnt disappoint! Malbec! MMM!! we did a bikes and wine tour maybe not a match made in heaven but great fun! We both suffered the next day due to the hard seats..... ouch!

We got stuck in Mendoza due to the border between there and Santiago, Chile being shut due to snow so ended up flying as the closure was indefinate.

We arrived in Santiago and went out for a steak dinner with Drago, it was excellent and chile merlot, Pisco Sours and Ameretto lived up to the argentinian malbec!! The day after we headed to the really charming town of Valparaiso, on the pacific coast. A little run down but really beautiful! Awesome Graffiti/Art work everywhere! Jo's favourite place so far!

Since then we have headed back to Santiago and are doing the city thing here until our flight out on 16th Sept to NZ and hoping to catch up with Drago again too!! We are both getting super excited for it!!

Hope eveyone is cool!

Big congrats to Jojo & Marc and Vicki & Steve who should now be the happy couples! Sorry we couldnt be at the weddings!

Big Love

Paul and Jo XXX
