Mendoza is wine country, and as you can see, we plunged right into it! We tried to cover the whole spectrum of what Mendoza has on offer – from world-class Malbec's at Achaval Ferrer (that surely would have ruined our holiday budget) to surprisingly good unknown producers. Our favourite "tour" was lunch in the vineyards of estate Ruca Malen.
The next day, we decided: Enough wine, let's see the city! So off into Mendoza's historic center. However, we had barely started the sightseeing, when we found ourselves totally paralysed! We didn't understand what was going on, until we came across a temperature display: 44°C!!

Well, apparently, the South American siestas (1-7pm) are there for a reason. We laughed at our mistake, returned to Casa Glebinias, and did, what every sane local would do: cool off at the pool and take a looong nap :-)
Christmas BBQ at hotel Casa Glebinias. Argentinian christmas cake is divine, really different from the German version. Alas, no picture. It got eaten too fast...
