Hello Everybody!
After Buenas Aires I went to Córdoba for a few days to relax and after that further west to Mendoza. The wine-city of Argentina, almost 80% of the Argentinian wine is produced here! We went on a wine tour with bikes in the countryside and we get to taste a lot of wine and I bought myself a nice Syrah from 1997 (I'm going to open it on my last day in Argentina, with all my friends on my mind!!)
After a quick stop at Tucumán we went to the valleys of the north: Tafí del Valle and Amaicha del Valle. Very pittoresque and lovely pueblos in a very nice settings with mountains everywhere!
The trip through the valleys ended in Salta, a great city where you might feel as in a fake world: Palm trees at the plaza, oranges in the trees, the sun around again... brilliant!
This is almost the end of Argentina for me: today I hop on the bus for 24hs to go to Iguazu and after that it's Brasil!!
So that's all for now, keep up the good work, I'll do the same!
un abrazo para todos,Andries,x
