Traveling in style

We'd read that the buses in Argentina were really luxurious so we were quite excited about our first long trip here. We booked ourselves the best: suite class for the overnight journey from Buenos Airies to Mendoza. We weren't disapointed, it was fantastic, like traveling first class on a plane (I imagine as I've never had the oportunity to turn left when getting on to a 747 - Gav keeps telling me "one day..").

The seats went right back, so that you lay completely flat, and they were really wide. But the best bit was dinner: first they brought round sherry and nibbles, then dinner with wine, followed by coffee and petit fours, and then whiskey or Tia Maria as a night cap! You don't get that on National Express. Here's a pic of Gav demonstrating the flat bed (you wont be suprised to hear that he'd already managed to break one of the clips in in his excitement to try it out).

Here are some pics of BA, me next to their version of Big Ben and Gav in one of the parks in the Palermo district.

We've spent the last 2 days in Mendoza tasting wine and exploring the town. We're off to Baraloche in the Lake District tonight. Unfortunately we couldn't get seats in Suite class, so we'll be slumming it in Business class.
