Mendoza Sun 5th Dec in the year of our lord 2004
Last night enjoyeyed a meat tea, meat starter, meat main course & meat for afters, all for the remarkable price of $10.99 Argie in an all you can eat deal ! that translates into 2.40 GBP. Also a 1litre bottle of beer is only 80p in a bar, so drink & save will be my motto here.
It is rather hot here, equivalent to a Spanish city in summer I expect, so last night i left the window open & was subsequently well bitten by mossies!
Went up to the office which deals with passes for the park this morning, & whilst there, started talking to a couple of Aussies who were ther to buy a treking pass, they only had photo copies of thier passports & this would not do at all, they were told - because it is easy to forge a photocopy --who in thier right mind would forge a photocopy just to get into a bleeding park for goodness sake?? so they left permitless I however received mine for a scandalous price of $200US. its just a wheese to fleece touristos!
Lots of old cars here, peugouts* 404s all taxis 504s Avengers, Renault 4,6 & 12s which reminds me of the one I partly bought,
all those 2d & 3ds I gave Grant Lisk must have added up to at least a couple of doors!!
Found a Carrefours & stocked up on provisions, tins of corned beef & tuna, bars of chocolate etc. I expect I will be able to live for 2 weeks off this type of food, well I´ve managed it for the last 20 years.
I´ll try to catch the 10am bus to Puntas des Incas tomorrow, & should arrive there about 1pm, I hope there will be an internet connection there,if not then no news will be just that ..no news.
Hope all are well & do post a comment provided it is derogatory in some way, Mair mince the morrow!
