Mendoza

Another long bus trip, 18 hours this time and -i was sitting behind a young guy this time. He obviously didn't think too much of personal hygiene so another interrupted night.
Mendoza is known for it's wine. Apparently it's the 4th largest wine producing region in the world. The area doesn't really have enough rainfall for anything to really grow but through a ingenious irrigation system the grapes grow well. Actually also all trees and plants in the city of Mendoza grow through irrigation. For this purpose there are little canals throughout the whole city.
When arrived in Mendoza in the morning both Sam and I didn't feel like sightseeing so we just stayed in the hotel and hung around the pool enjoying the sun for a day.
