Arriving at 4.30am and 2 hours ahead of schedule - not everyone is happy!
At least Leise is putting on a brave face
It's freezing cold too so gotta wrap up with whatever you have
No we don't travel light!
Our first lunch in Argentina, check out the size of those steaks!
After lunch it was time to hit our local cafe and carry on sampling the local wine
Georgie ready for another glass of red
..... time for another 
The view of the central park from our Cafe
We finally staggered back to our apartment to relax and have that afternoon nap
Relaxing in our stunning apartment right in the heart of Mendoza
Chile street - beautiful tree lined avenue and our new home
Yep we were not exactly slumming it in Mendoza ;-)
Remember this name, best steak in South America so far!
The Vines, and time for our first Argentinien wine tasting
Really nice inside too
Ready to try out our 5 wines
One of the tasty reds we tried
Outside our stunning apartment
Think they may have had a few too many....
Dinner time and V had a great meal
The worst ribs in the world, and the waiter had the cheek to recommend them!!!
Don Pedro to finish, and it's no better than the ribs
A new day, hot and sunny and the bikes are hired and off we go on our wine tour
First stop Museo Del Vino
Touring the vineyards with the Andes in the background
The local produce
Lunch at Vistandes
Lunch finished and time to hit the bikes again
The view on our ride, vineyards and mountains - stunning!
Tempus Alba winery, time for another break
We decide to cycle in for another taster
The inside bar at Tempus Alba
Relaxing on the outside patio
V enjoying some Rose and music in the sunshine
Nothing like an ice cold beer after a tough ride
Waiting for our taxi and chatting to our new Irish mates
The fountains inside the Central Park in Mendoza
Settling down to the Uruguay v Argentina game in the pub
1-0 to Argentina and they have qualified for 2010, let the party begin!
Final farewell to our Irish mates
All aboard for Santiago, Chile
Final checks before we head off
View from our coach of this stunning lake in the mountains
The jagged snow capped peaks in the distance
The coach ride was worth it just for the scenery
We finally hit the top of the Andes
The Chile border post - yep it's cold!
Georgie and V, trying to kill 3 hours on top of the Andes
Warm and cosy on the coach but check out the blizzard outside
The view from our Santiago apartment for one night
The Andes mountains from our plane on our way to Buenos Aires
Stunning!
