All turned out fab - only downside being feeling a bit ill in the run up to the trip and while there dissuading me from eating steak and drinking red wine in abundance.
It's definitely a lot more European from what we saw, confirming rumours I had already heard. Generally Mendoza went down a real treat, but perhaps in the sense that everything felt that tiny bit more familiar, which is the sense of making the most of being on the other side of the world is probably not the right reason to wish you were living there in Argie and not here in Chile. [Clearly these are huge generalisations.]
The Andes were absolutely stunning. Particularly on the Argentinian side [I'm not being biased about this, I promise] - on the way there the sun had already set by the time we got out of border control, so I made the most of the way back by snapping photos the whole way. The mountains and the rocks became hypnotic, to the point things like 'wow, rocks are really underrated' and 'why didn't I consider geology as a career option?' started coming to my mind.
These photos don't even begin to communicate the awesomeness of being surrounded by mountains for what must have been about 10 hours in total.
