Visiting the Wineries in Medoza area


Together with Ben, my new friend in Mendoza, I went visiting the wineries. The pictures can tell it all...

Medoza here we come


After a few days in Buenos Aires, The Mini Hostel team (www.minihostels.com) has decided to start moving around (Daniel was of course all over the place at this point, joining up dozens of hostels, while we were just on the bus (good on you Daniel).

A few words about Minihostels
This is a new business of My brother's and his partners (Ido and Daniel) which is something I am really proud of: It is a network of all kinds of good quality, small and non-commercial hostels around South America. The traveler who buys a minihostels card can get a %10 discount in all the hostels (and more services), gets all the information through the website and book in advance, and - can be sure that the next hostel is a good one. The small- non commercial hostels who are straggling against the giant ones can get more exposure and also make money from selling the cards. In short - it is a good deal for all parties....
The above picture is on the bus, on our way to Mendoza! You can see my brother Liran and his girlfriend Serrana, behind them are 2 more minihostels crew- Ido & Amir, and the additional team members: yours truly and Alon- were sitting in the front of the bus, freezing to death during this ride.


This is the first Sunday in Mendoza, when the team has decided to take a day of, and followed me in my request to trek around. We took a trekking tour with some company, thinking that we are going to see some nice views in the area, and have an easy vacation day. In fact, we found out that we took a climbing-in-the-snow- tour to the mountain, and had a very cloudy day, so we really didn't see any view. An experience...

The Zoo- Buenos Aires


Apparently, the zoo at Plaza Italya in BA is a very good one. I never imagined... And so, accompanied by my Brazilian friends, whom I met at Lirani's hostel, I went to see some fantastic, colorful animals (but all that after a good dish of Ravioli at the "Poalim" restaurant you can see here).
"The girl from Ipanima" was our meal's theme..
