Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires has it all...

you find there nicely renovated river banks that reminds you of London's South bank, Paris like large busy avenues, cosy old neighbourhoods typical of Lisbon and Porto, stylish old buildings, shops and bars of Barcelona and Italian towns and hundreds of bookshops you can't find anywhere else!
All in all it's a busy, vibrant and huge capital. After a week I had enough of it and crossed the river to Uruguay.
Here some captured impressions...

Mendosa


Mendosa was all about wine and Aconcagua, the highest pick on the America's continent. So I did a wine tasting cycling tour across wineries and cellars, caught up with Aconcagua professional guides along a parilla (Arentinian barbeque) and spent a night in picturesque Ponte del Incas, the village at the front door of Aconcagua.
