Travels....

I LOVE TRAVELLING!!! Kerri (and english friend from BA) and I left BA on Saturday morning after a crazy last night! We arrived in Rosario (a town 4 hours northwest) and went to an awesome hostel where we met really nice people and chilled out away from BA. We went to a great beach on an island opposite the city and chilled out there for the day, watched the sunset over the city and went home. The next day we explored Rosario and left to Mendoza on Monday night. We had a 12 hour bus trip which was actually really good because the buses here are like buisness class in planes! We arrived in Mendoza on Tuesday morning and met Emily,Will and Cheyne. We are staying in an amzing hostel wth a pool, hamocks and its own wine cellar! Mendoza is beautiful; vineyards and olive groves with the back drop of the andes! On our first day we explored the city and parks then had a wine and empanada night at the hostel so met lots of nice travellers and drank lots of Malbec...the next day we went wine tasting which was great and had a huge meal. We have just come back from a trek in the Andes which was fantastic. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and it was so refreshing to be surrounded by such amazing nature. We climbed a peak called Andesito (we should have done more but a really unfit Australian girl couldnt make it so we had to do a smaller one!). I am off to Chile on Saturday with Kerri to Santiago and Valparisio then off upwards....

I am loving it here and just enjoying myself so much. I love meeting all these new people and seeing such amazing things every day. I feel so lucky to be here and I really am loving every minute!!

I hope all is well in sunny England!
lots of love to everyone xxxxx (ps. photos to come)
