Hello!
have had a busy few weeks!
Spent Easter week in Bariloche, which is in the lake district part of Argentina (reasonably south). I stayed in a really cute hostel that looked like a log cabin and had a tree house with a slide in the garden! As you came out you had a great big lake facing you! it was gorgeous!
In Bariloche i went to a woods with these orange trees that apparently inspired the animators from disneys bambi so i fought off lots of kids to get a photo outside bambi´s house!
I spent the week pretty much chilling out and wondering round the chocolate shops getting freebies!!
I have been amazed so far that nearly every place i have been in Argentina has had an Irish pub!!
I just spent some nights in Mendoza which is a bit further north! I LOVED Mendoza i have never drank so much wine in all my life!!
The hostel i was in again was brilliant! at 8pm every night free wine was on the table!
I went on a bikes and wine tour which involved cycling to all the wineries and getting free wine and chocolate and then learning how to taste wine (i learnt about looking for legs and oakiness...!) we had a couple of accidents along the way but fortunatly every one made it back in one peice!!
The following day i went horse riding through the Andes! it was beatiful! as its autumn all the trees are beautiful oranges and yellows and the Andes were so stunning they didnt look real, almost like a back drop from an old movie!
Apparently in the 70´s a plane of footballers crashed in the Andes nearby to mendoza and they had to eat eachother to stay alive...
Mendoza has a buzzing night life and we managed to be out pretty much every night!I also managed to meet up with my friends from home (Flo and Nick) who i was lucky enough to meet up with also in Buenos aires earlier in my trip!
I just arrived in San Rafael, another part of mendoza am going to take it easy tonight and find out about trekking or rafting that is apparently good in the local area!
hope all is well at home! i´ve heard the weather has been good!
keep me updated!
good luck to you guys facing finals or dissertations...!
much love

Hey Emz!
It all sounds so amazing. The weather has been fantastic this weekend - sitting outside with a cider in the sun, really felt like summer. Nothing compared to a log cabin hostel next to a lake and horse riding though! Sounds wicked. Take care of yourself.
