Typically enough we missd the one bus that goes to Mendoza (back into Argentina) as it left at 8am this morning, consiering we only saw our beds at around 5am this morning, that was never going to happen and coupled with the fact that we didnt know that there was only one bus out of the country it was over for us.
Last night was amusing, we met up with Oscar, taking along the 2 boys we met in the hostel. One is Matt, a documetary maker rom LA/NYC who is a very cool laidback kinda guy, he hing out with us in the pouring rain yesterday without complaint and was also on the bus with us when it crashed. The other is Dan who arrived yesterday, a Pom with a very dry amusing sense of humour but alot more forward than most of the English boys i know. Very amusing... Anyway we started of at the coffe place we had originally met Oscar at after playing canaster and driking alot of cheap Chilean red wine, very very sweet - it so was not Cab Sauv or Merlot as stated on the bottles but we soldiered on. We then went down the road to a very bohemian vegetarian (i am asuming as we got disgusting soy on our pizza) restaurant and had some mulled wine and snacks then to a little bar where there was some very cool Chilean live music and we had our first Pisco Sours which were great, then onto Huevo, translation:EGG, which is the "happening" place here in Valparaiso, it has 4 levels all playing different music (some live bands). Danced to some Regaton and then rock n Rolled on the floor below with Dan - bizaar!
Hopefully off tomorrow, taking the 8am bus to Mendoza - there is a chance of snow in the Andes which means the bus will not leave which will really really annoy me, i am keen to get a move on now and get back to the cheaper Argentina...es muy importante as am broke already!
