I travelled to Mendoza with my family four years ago. The first day we stayed in my relative's house.The next morning we checked in the hotel. There was a great swimming pool but the recepcionist told us that we couldn't enter without first seeing the doctor so we did it. The reason was that the doctor had to check that we didn't have any kind of countagious disease. Then we had lunch and came back to the room. I was putting my bikini on when I started to feel a stomachache so I couldn't go to the swimming pool. Instead I went to the garden and read a book. Later we had dinner early and we went to bed. The next day we got up quickly and we went to the buffet. We had coffee and croissant for breakfast. Then we left the hotel and we went to the city center. While we were walking, we saw trams so I decided to take photos. It was awesome!! After that, we went to the Aquarium and we saw hundreds of fish. Also, there was a sea turtle called Jorge'. It was so big. Although many people wanted to take photos with him, we had to take turns because the animal was nervous. While we were taking photos, we met a brazilian girl so we talked to her and she asked us to take a photo with Jorge'. She was very friendly! Later we decided to take a taxi and went back to the hotel because we we were so tired. Another day we went to a field trip in the mountain. We saw the Inca Bridge and the Redeeming Christ. When we were on the Inca Bridge, we saw some donkeys carrying groceries. They looked adorable! In the Redeeming Christ there were some markets where we could buy souvenirs, drink hot chocolate and more. Also we saw The Aconcagua Hill. That day was amazing!! On the last day we wanted to go for a walk at The San Martin Park. It was so huge! There were shops, a big lake and a fountain too. Fortunately the park was near the hotel so we could come back early. Later we had lunch and then we prepared our luggage. Finally we left the hotel to go to the bus station.
