Left Tucaman in style in the fanciest bus you could get on – fully reclining leather seats, dinner service, champagne and wine, bad films to watch, blanket and pillow, the works! That’s the last time I leave Shona with some money!?! We were heading to Mendoza, home of wine in Argentina and with a plan to sample as much as possible while relaxing for a day or 2 before attempting a trek on Aconcagua (the highest mountain in South America).
Mendoza is a newish city and has a really nice feel to it – good vibe, wide tree lined streets, plaza's everywhere and a lovely park in the middle. The first night we were here though Shona became ill and it wasn’t induced by the vino but this meant we had to put back our plans to trek and also meant, much to her disappointment, that she didn’t get to sample lots of wine – well except for one night which ended up with us dancing knee deep in the main plaza's fountain at 3 in the morning, so perhaps it was for the best!!
