We arrived into Mendoza after our last long South American overnight bus journey!!! We strolled from the bus terminal to our hostel, even though it was 9am in the morning, we were still passing people in open bars!!!..It's a pretty, green city, even though it's in a desert, due to its irrigation system using the natural supply of melted glacier water....thank goodness there was still enough left for good rafting!!! It was a Sunday when we arrived so the majorit...

So we had a few days in Buenos Aires and spent the majority of the time pottering around the city. We checked out the main areas and attractions. There aren't many pictures as it's just a city....nice enough but nothing to shout about!! We also checked out Eva Perons grave....very elaborate and different to what we have at home!!!

On the plus side of this we got to see a couple of places that we won't make it t...

So after 24 hours on the bus we landed into beautiful Bariloche in the Argentine Lake District. We had heard that we would love this place and we weren't disappointed! It is honestly one of the most beautiful places that we have been. The hostel we stayed in was lovely too, it was like a skiing lodge, with great kitchen facilities, as well as a nice garden perfect for relaxing in the evenings and having a beer or wine!!!..And with nice bottles of wine coming i...
