Day 1 we decided to do just that.
After yet another looooong bus ride from Bariloche (18 hours) we dropped our bags at the hostel and meet up with our new friends from the bus (Tom the Aussie & Robyn the Welshman) and headed out to Maipu (1 hour bus from Mendoza) for wine tasting. The temperatures reached 35+C and the route we rode was over 30k. Should have know when I realized that the guys we were with were the same guys that passed us in an uphill battle on the bikes in Bariloche (see Biking Bariloche). Or maybe we should have realized when we saw the size of their calves that we were up for a challenging ride. I think I spent much of the ride with a "tomato face."
Trapiche winery.
One of the oldest and definitely one of the biggest in Mendoza
Robyn's bike broke down and lucky the police were right there to lend a hand, literally.
There we are!
