The road from Santiago to Mendoza switches back and forth as it climbs to a border crossing high in the AndesSuffice to say that this little sidetrip from our trip was basically about food, wine, more food, more wine, and then sleep. It coincided with a Chilean long weekend, so there were plenty of people over from Santiago there to do the same thing. And the venue of choice on the Saturday night was Las Tinajas. More than all-you-can-eat, this place was a temple to all things food. Separate chefs could suuply you with freshly cooked fish, stirfry, pizza, pasta, and of course, meat. All kinds of meat. As many times as you cared to return, there would be food to fill your plate. The dessert buffet alone made Carl shed a tear. And possibly my favourite section - a chef just for crepes.
The grill at Las Tinajas - larger than an inner city apartment...
The chefs hard at work.

Argentinian Malbec wine... ageing while it awaits our return.

I like your blog, but even more so, I want to kill you both and steal your identities so I can have that awesome trip.
Then again you probably miss Sydney heaps and would probably swap with me voluntarily. For example yesterday it was windy, therefore the trains weren't working, and there were angry commuters lining up for buses for hours. Yep you guys must REALLY miss it here.
PS Updates people! I'm sure lots has happened since May!
