Wow what a day. It all started brilliantly when Naomi got the results of her MA. She got a distinction. She is so happy and relieved. I´m very proud of her. She´s smart. So a great start.........then...James & Chris turned up at hostel and Naomi, Michelle (who we met on the ride) jumped into the little Fiat and headed of to the wine museum. Jim is a nifty driver and Chris and he navigated us there no problem. We did the tour in Spanish and Michelle kindly translated everything. We then headed to the tasting room and had a lovely white and tried the a vino tinto made from Malbec the native Argentinian grape. A bit rough but very nice when blended with a Cabernet Sauvignon. Am I boring you yet? Anyway we didn´t spit it out. We then tried to find another bodegas with a great retaurant attached. Ended up asking a taxi driver who just drove there and we followed. For free. So nice. We had some great food then a 3.45 we decided that we had to leave to go paragliding. It seemed like a much better idea now. Naomi and Michelle decided to have pudding instead. Also a good idea.

I´m learning to Paraglide when I get back to the UK...Nairn if you are reading this sign me up now. It was fantastic. Running of a 600m cliff attached to a kite is the only way to travel. Here have a look......

Chris and I before hand

Jim landing just like he does for AA

The fun looks like it´s over for a bit now and we´re back on the buses to Santiago. But hey that´s in CHILE!
