Pick up early. 7:30. Nina - the danish girl from yesterday - was also on the trip
Drove all morning to the Chilean border with a few stops on the way. San Martin bridge, Uspatala village and then we headed for the 4000 meter mark and the memorial built there by the Chilean and Argentineans to commemorate their peace treaty. Also the same place where we could officially have a foot on the other side of the border into Chile.
Drive back down to the village, dropped around 1000 meters altitude on narrow gravel road.
Had lunch and did explore the ruins on the railroad before heading back towards Mendoza. Stopped and the inca bridge and looked at the rocks. Decided to walk along the old railroad to a bridge nearby instead of hanging out at rarther boring inca market.
Back to the bus - and to Mendoza after a couple of hours of driving. 400 km in total today. Not bad for a short trip.
Had a shower before going to find a winebar - Wines of Mendoza. Turned out to be a little more complicated than what we thought. Eventually we found it, had a glass of local wine, realised that it closed at 10 (early) and headed for another winebar closer to the hotel. Got a nice table in the courtyard and had the best dinner.
Headed back to hotel for some much needed sleep.
