Landed in Mendoza at 8pm (after a six hour stopover in Buenos Aires) and it was still 30c heat. Struck lucky with a cab to the hostel, by a cabbie who was let down by someone, so got it for half price.
Hostel owner is from Derby, which made everything easier.
Today was supposed to be spent doing a lovely half day tour of the wineries, instead for Zoe anyway, it was spent with a massively aching bum and a bicycle that was too big for her. Wineries visited - 1
Wineries supposed to be visited - 4
Was Zoe happy NO!!
Leon on the other hand enjoyed his 12km bike ride, as he had a bike that fitted him and still managed to push me along when i was flagging. More trips to the gym definately in order and less Malbec the night before a long bike ride in 38c heat!!
Now on the look for a lovely ice-cream shop to drown Zoe´s sorrows that she didn´t get to try lots of free wine and go to the chocolate factory.
Still they make wine in Chile....

Groanal defending
Finally got around to checking out the blog, looks like you're having a great time!. The reds just got hammered 3-0 by the Arse (sorry Zoe), pants display and far too easy for Arsenal. Anyway, zonal defending yet again at fault for one of the goals with Gerrard screaming at Riise that it was his fault, not good. Anyway, the good news is I've got you a ticket for the next Waters gig on Friday May 11th 2007 at Earls Court. There's about 14 of us going and it sounds like it's the same set to the one at Hyde Park, should be a good time. Catch you later mate.
