We bummed around for the first day to relax and recover from the bus ride. The next day we went on a bit of an excursion near the Chilean border and went kayaking on a beautiful still lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains - really peaceful and some much needed exercise!
The following day was a really amazing day...a wine tasting tour with some new friends from the hostel! Since there was only 5 of us, the owner of the hostel (Brit Mike who'd been living in Argentina with his wife for 5-ish years) took us on the tour in his own vehicle. This issue, however, was that it was a small car for 4 passengers, so Andre and I took turns in the trunk (it was a hatchback). We went to 3 wineries and had some really amazing wines. Lunch was included at the second winery - a 5 course gourmet meal with a pairing for each course. I had the best steak I've had in ages (they listened when I said rare!). They made Caroline a wonderful vegetarian dish as well, but I'm not sure the wine pairing worked out the same.
Another few days in Mendoza, and we were off again!
