Hey chicos, its been a while and I managed to make my way up north again, following the sun. I was traveling with another German girl and after 3 days of uncontrolled eating behavior in Bariloche, it was time to come to Mendoza...
Great 20-hour bus ride again, but this time I was traveling 5*, not forgetting my thrombosis socks. Yes! I love the buses over here, this time the highlights included a common Bingo session ( the price was a bottle of wine, very necesario when doing a trip like that!!), a bus breakdown and the public embarassement of a British guy because he did not get the message what are the Do's and Don'ts when using a bus toilet. Amazing!
When we arrived in Mendoza it was time to get fried again and of course whats best to do in 30 degrees?? Yes! Do it again and hike up a mountain. The next two days were mor eof my taste with one awesome winetour on Monday. We basically were a group of four, lend soem bikes and off we went from Bodega to Bodega ( officially we were on a mission of winetasting, inoffially it was trying to get druk for free). It worked and was so much fun! While we were drunk we already took teh chance to book our Paragliding flight for the next day. hui!
But I am glad to tell you I am in one piece, all the boday parts where they belong and it was great! At first the perspective to jump off a 2000m mountain with nothing more than this little hombre and a parachute was not too tempting but once we managed to jump it was amazing!. You saw the Andes on one side and Mendoza on the other and we were just crusing around there. I hope I can do it again, as Berlin's mountain range is not too tempting to do it....
Today the ways of me and my travel buddy are parting and I am on my own, going to San Rafael. I have one more week before I have to go back to Buenes Aires and I am keen on chilling a bit, not being on the run all the time, so I will get homy there for a week...have to run now to catch my bus. Hope snow chaos Europe is backing off!
