The land of sun and good wine
We leave today for Mendoza, so if there are no posts for a few days, it's because we three have been set loose in the region that produces 80% of the country's wine. Nuff said!
The bus ride promises to be interesting (it's only 14 hours - ha!), and we were rather impressed with how reasonable the price was considering it's a double decker bus with seats that turn into beds. Then we realised we'd neglected to book a return ticket. Good one. Chalk another casualty up to Sarah and Rebecca's Spanish.
Oh well, maybe we'll just keep going to Chile. I've always wanted to go on a trek through the Andes and Mendoza is right at the foot of them.
And it's a desert! Wine growing in the desert. It's like something out of the Chronicles of Narnia. (Only in Spanish.) They call it the land of sun and good wine. Move over, Cali - Mendoza here we come!

Pick me up a couple of cases of Malbec, would you?
Would you settle for a bottle or two? Or something less mainstream like my new favourite Torrontes?!
