Traveling to Mendoza

Not a lot to report as really a day of travel. Took an Aerolineas Argentinas flight to Mendoza via Buenos Aires, with another upgrade to the wide comfortable seats, so two times one hour and forty minutes with an hours connection. So far that’s 3 flights with AA that have all been on time, apparently the norm is anything but! We did ask on boarding the second flight if our bags were on board and gave him the bag tags to scan. He looked, said yes they are on board, we asked how did he know and he replied he trusted his colleagues! Apparently they can’t check through the electronic tag! Thankfully the bags did appear at Mendoza. Pictures below from the plane into Buenos Aires and then Mendoza.

On arrival we picked up our booked Avis car – really important to reserve a car if self driving as seems they get booked up. The hotel we are staying at for 4 nights in Mendoza is called Lares de Chacras, it’s a small boutique hotel of 11 rooms which is absolutely lovely. Highly recommend. We ate at a good restaurant called Dantesco, but everything was in Spanish, very good dinner and the Pinot noir was excellent- whole dinner including tip was around S$50 or £30. Same sort of pricing everywhere we go.
