We arrived early doors in Mendoza and got a taxi to the hostel independencia. By the time we had dumped our bags and settled in it was 10am, at this point i went and asked about a skydive. I had previosuly signed me and Harriet up in Cordoba for a skydive, but cancelled it as i was told the view was better in Mendoza as you can see the Andes mountains. So this morning was Friday and i was asking about a dive Saturday morning. Sunday they didn´t dive, and i was ...

However, we did spot Swedish David walking past so all made a rather a...

We arrived in Buenos Aires at 3pm and took the tube into the middle of town towards our hostel. Buenos Aires is very European looking, the streets are clean and the shops look like shops rather than stalls - certainly a wealthy part of south america. We crossed the Avenida 9 De Julio the worlds widest Avenue (i counted 20 lanes of traffic and went to Millhouse hostel - which we had been told by many was the party hostel. We arrived and went for an explore but to ...
