| One of Mendoza's many plazas - this one's Plaza San Martin |
| The Huentala Hotel foyer was being renovated |
| Lunch - empanadas and Andes beer |
We are are now staying at the Huentala hotel in Mendoza. It took a while to find out our WiFi link. We were up just after 4am to meet Eliana at 5. We were all early but the driver didn't appear, so we took a taxi to Jorge Newbery airport. We checked in for our flight and said goodbye.
Mendoza is a small town at the foot of the Andes, and we saw most of it today. We arrived very early, at 8.50, but couldn't get breakfast at the hotel so went to the Cafe Havanna. Our room is nice but we both feel a bit under par. Lunch was not great.
Our rep is German, Michael. He has arranged a winery tour tomorrow (not so good for me) and a day trip to the Andes on Monday. Weather today quite cold.
