Our last day in Mendoza began with a great breakfast – cornflakes with milk and strawberries and vegemite toast. It might not sound like something particularly special but it was the most normal, un-sugarfilled breakfast we have had so far.
Amy wanted a quiet day to get over her cold, so Anna and I went out to finally (we hoped) post our parcel. We went back to the post office and the international section was finally open! After a wait we managed to get not only someone who worked in the section but someone who spoke English! He inspected the contents of the box, then gave us a small green slip and a number. We then had to wait to go into a little office, have the contents inspected again and the box sealed. We then had to go to another desk, fill in two more lots of paperwork, and finally the box is sent!!!! It took about an hour.
After that we went for a walk, a very long about 6km walk! But it was great, we went past lots of lovely houses and went down to the major park of the town. We found a small museum and went for a wander. It did seem really quiet, in fact we are pretty sure it was closed because when we tried to leave the doors were locked! Luckily we found someone who could buzz us out!
We wandered for a bit longer then got a cab back to the hostel. We have had a quiet afternoon and will head out for an early dinner ahead of catching an 18 hour bus ride tonight to Salta.
Mendoza has been lovely and relaxing, but now we are off to our last major stop in Argentina, Salta.
