By all means, this post should come before the one on Kuala Lumpur... But anyway.
21st of May was a public holiday in Chile so we (Benoit, Stefi, Carlos and myself) took a 4 day week-end in Mendoza. 2 nights in the bus allowed us to enjoy the full 4 days there, although been woken up in the middle of the night and stand for one hour in the cold at the immigration desk was not the most fun part!
Mendoza is a great city! I loved it!! Very peaceful, lined up with trees all around, there is plenty of nice areas to walk around, a few parks very well maintained, especially the biggest one which is supposedly the biggest park in all South America! And yes big it is! And very enjoyable for that is.
The program was roughly the following: city tour on foot, horse back riding in an incredible setting, surrounded by the mountains, BBQs, our first real Paragliding flight!! and some quiet time in the parks :-)
The people in Mendoza are very friendly, the weather was perfect and it's not difficult to imagine living a peaceful life around there. I'll be back!
