Horsing around in Buenos Aires
A day at the annual Horse fair in Buenos Aires, followed by an evening at the race track. No winners backed, but a good day all round.

Climbing Aconcagua*
Taking the rough road out of town...
Following instructions from a Tourist office, we headed blindly up the worst 'road' I've ever seen. In fct to even call it a road is an insult to dirt tracks. The poor VW Golf suffered somewhat... but not quite as much as Miriam did in the back!
The stunning views from the top made it all worthwhile though.

Bikes and wine tours.
After a shaky start (the agency forgot about us!) we made it to the picturesque vineyards of Argentina's famous wine region - Mendoza. We had appointments with 3 Bodegas to taste their wares, with a variety of tours, wines and lots of tasting (followed by lots of very sage comments on the bouquet, the body and the hue!)
The cycling got distinctly wobblier the further into the tour we went!
