After a mammoth 24 hour bus from Montevideo to Mendoza it took us a day to feel normal again. The city is gorgeous, it has a very relaxed pace with lots of plazas where the locals hang out (not in a knacekrish way). We took in the city for 2 days and then went on a bike tour around the wineries, vineyards and olive farms, an amazing day in the sun! I saw my first olive tree and battled with my bike - the front brakes were clamped on the wheel, great craic! A great build up to 'my day'!For the BIG 26 Rob took me paragliding, I was very thankful afterwards but was questioning why anyone would pay for such a thing when I was being kitted out. It was amazing, alot of
screaming was heard on take off, cheesy as it sounds as I settled in I actually felt quite like a giant bird. We did some acrobatics in the air (jaysus never again) and landed with Rob close behind after around 20mins - fantastic!Next stop Bariloche in the lake district (after another epic 17hr bus). Beautiful town on a lake in the heart of the Lake district, called the gateway to Patagonia. The weather wasn't great the whole time, we met some great people and managed to see gorgeous vistas, dance to the wee hours and do a bike ride around the national park. Next stop Patagonia, woop woop!
