Mendoza, Argentina







Sunday November 14.

Had a decent continental breakfast and then spent the whole morning on the hotel computer updating the last week of activity. I´ve written it all but can´t upload pictures. I need my own laptop!

Walked around town, checking out the squares, but almost everything is closed because it's Sunday. Discovered that there isn't much here in town, except fine dinning and winneries. The hotel I'm in is a nice three star hotel, that is full of south Americans on holidays and that's what they want to do here. I feel and bit like a fish out of water, so I decided to walk to the bus station to find out about a ticket to Buenos Aires. Discovered that the buses leave at night for a fourteen hour ride. That would mean I'd have to stay another day. So, I decided to buy a ticket and leave that night. Went back to the hotel and told them I'd be leaving early.

Had a quick dinner and then caught a taxi to the bus terminal. The bus is a 'cama' bus, with fully reclining black leather seats. I have seat one, on the second floor right up front. There were a total of ten people on the bus. The only downside, was the food, dinner and breakfast were both crap. Read and listened to tunes, until tired enough to sleep.
