Well Mendoza was okay nice tree lined town with lots of references to wine. But alas suze was ill again so it was a bit dodgy with doing anything really. We also suspected that the andes to chile might be closed and we were to fly out in 2 days so had to book a flight over the mountains. It took just 45 mins, straight up and down with lots and lots of bumps on the way which was a bit scary! But then we were in the second major city of the trip! Santiago de chile!!! It was pretty cool, big place but very modernist in its design which spoiled lots of it! he he. On our last day we went into the national library and i complelety confused this guy who just didnt understand why i was in the national library of chile when i didnt speak any spanish....i tried to tell him it was because of the building (see above) but he still couldnt grasp it. Anyway Next stop NEW ZEALAND and was have to say goodbye to South America. its been a long arduous journey but what an adventure! I must say that i was looking forward to new zealand largely so i wouldnt have to be so bothered about getting mugged but the reality is that we never saw any crime in south america. Had some dodgy scenarios but nothing, i saw more crime last year in barcelona than here.
Anyway we got our night flight and headed off to our next continent....
