Hi everybody!
As you may have read. I was the last long weekend in Mendoza. A town in Argentina on the other side of the Andes. We have therefore set on Thursday evening in the bus and were then on Friday at 6 clock Mendoza.
There we first had breakfast and made us to search for a hostel. Unfortunately was not easy, because the tour group had grown to 10 people.
Mendoza is actually a very beautiful city. There is plenty of space and big city close nearby. The streets are wide and all over every single one! single road on the left and right Wed fitted a plane all. Therefore, the city appears, with its many places even more like a green forest.
As in Mendoza, the sun always shines, is the most famous Argentine wine country. Of course we could not miss it and therefore have a day to explore by bicycle the surrounding vineyards and also tried one or two of wine.
As Mendoza at the foot of the Andes is suitable, it is also pretty good for adventure trips that are offered here in the city on every corner:
As in Argentina, a little was güsntiger as in Europe, we thought we finally have to fly with such a glider. We are thus driven a Jeep harsträubende a winding track up the mountain near Mendoza and then again in 30 minutes to fly down. Of course you could also take pictures during the flight and see in the distance the city from above.
also was previously clear that we absolutely wanted to go rafting. We then decided on a 3-hour rafting trip on the Rio Mendoza. Again we are so
rode a bus this time in the mountains. Us with wetsuits, helmets and life jackets can be fitted and have plunged into the white water. Because in the mountains, unfortunately, nothing was seen of the sun and the water ice cold ice water was each had of course been another 10 min cold hands and feet. But our guide had forbidden us to say that it was cold, because otherwise everyone would be paid later, a round of beer. So we were paddled hard and have to warm up. After 3 hours I could not feel my legs more than we really wanted to get out of the boat had completely given up the leg muscles of the mind. In the following hot shower, was no longer remember whether it is now acted to warm or cold water.
On Monday we were still a little way into the city. But had closed for a holiday all the shops, we decided to have us go to the zoo. A few
Bilder davon und einige andere gibts im neuen Fotoalbum rechts.
Außerdem habe ich mir ein neues Feature für die Seite überlegt. Rechts gibt es jetzt eine Südamerikakarte zu sehen. Wenn ihr draufklickt, könnt ihr jeweils sehen wo ich schon war und was für Wege ich zurückgelegt habt, so dass ihr es euch ein bischen besser vorstellen könnt.
Am Mittwoch, war wie ihr vielleicht mitbekommen habt WM Qualifikation. Und es spielte Chile - Argentinien. Da wir noch glücklicherweise Tickets ergattert hatten konnten wir einem historischen chilenischen Fußballwunder beiwohnen. Chile hat zum ersten Mal seit 30 Jahren gegen Argentinien gewonnen. 1:0 und das auch noch verdient. Da this course had to be celebrated then, we let fly our Rückfahrbus and have the next morning, set following the Annual Celebration, in the first bus to Valparaiso.
Today, I went again, came the second time now, for surfing. The waves were way too big, so it was a nearly impossible to get out and I swallowed more salt water than I liked. However, I've caught one or the other shaft. The water is freezing cold, of course, as expected, but paddling with neoprene and is there any permanent problems. So you see I
had an eventful last week. The next week is Uni-frei und daher werde ich morgen zu einer neuen Reise aufbrechen....Der nächste Reisebericht kommt also bestimmt.
Beste Grüße
Fabi
