A whole new adventure for today, Friday. The day started with promising weather and so we set off for a hike to a distant church connected to the winery. We were accompanied by Nog the Dog a huge cross between an elephant and hippo! He came into the church with us and visited the gents loo with RM. Half way back he was picked up by one of the posada staff and he smiled at us as he was whisked away in the back of the pick up truck. We arrived back after our two hour trek to find him fast asleep.
We took advantage of the sun for a pre-lunch tanning session and after a suitably fortifying one, we embarked on our horse ride. When I say ride, I mean we sat on the horse, clung on for dear life and allowed it to do what it wanted! HJ struggled on and off and although the mount and dismount wasn't elegant, it was accomplished with the aid of RMs back and hand! Our gaucho guide looked on in amused disbelief!
Even though we didn't get back until 5pm the weather was at it's best and so we sat by the pool sipping a bottle of the winery's finest malbec.
Patagonia beckons tomorow.
