So seeing as that my visa expired in 3 days and I would not be in the country legally anymore, we decided to take a trip to Mendoza, Argentina. We left Santiago around 2 pm and started our 7 hour bus ride to Mendoza. The scenery was amazing and the road was frightening,100ft drops with no guard rails or barriers.
There were around 27 of these hairpin turns that our driver took a little to fast for my liking with a tour bus... After the nauseating climb we came to the border where we had to get off the bus and wait in the freezing cold to get our passports stamped at the border. After that it was a 4 hour drive to Mendoza where we had not Argentinian money nor was any of the money changing places still open. Luckily we mangaged to convince our bus company to do some exchanging for us.

The hostel we stayed at was a supposed to be a converted mansion but turned out to be a largish house. The next day we rented bikes and took a tour of the town, visiting each of the 5 plazas that they had.

Making a cool picture even cooler.
After our rushed run around the town we had to practically run back to the bus station to enjoy yet another seven hours of bus and the joy of watching the mask for the second time.
