Up the Andes

We had a lovely evening yesterday and I must say I feel nicely refreshed this morning. After our trip up the Andes we had a gin and tonic here at the hotel, sitting outside on the terrace, and then went to a fun little place called Casa 3 where I had a plate of cheese and mini-toasts and H had a salad. I had a glass of Malbec and H had a diet coke and we were back in the hotel by 10pm, both tired and ready for bed.

H has swung into organisation mode on Buenos Aires and been figuring out good restaurants and bars for us to go to. BA seems really great and interesting so I'm glad we've booked the extra day there. We've also been reading a great book called "Bad Times in Buenos Aires" by Miranda France, which I fully recommend if you're interested in the country. Very informative and very funny. Written by an English journalist who lived here in the 90s. H was chuckling away on the minibus yesterday as he read it, oblivious to stunning mountain ranges passing by on either side. I love reading books set in or about the country when on holiday. I've now started one called 'A State of Fear' which is all about the horrible times in the 70s with people being murdered and 'disappeared', which is certainly not as funny but informative.
