What should have been a simple 6 hour trip across the Andes turned into a 16 hour nightmare...we were heading to Mendoza and I couldn't help but think 'the universe does not want us to go here'. First the road was closed for 2 hours due to snow and then we sat at the border for another 8 hours while they processed the backlog, SLOWLY, with intermittent power outages. Luckily there were some food stalls up there so we could get some dinner, unluckily a caterpillar crawled out of my Bife de Lomo and along my finger, which lead to the discovery of lots of other, less fortunate caterpillars and no dinner for Karen.

Happy ending - we arrived in Mendoza at midnight, we checked into our hostel and we had a sleep in. Feel grateful to have made it.
