We had big plans (briefly) to go to a 3am party in a Vineyard, which would have been fantastic if a little unrealistic given our track record of being awake past midnight.
We eventually ended up in a restuarant with a few dozen locals, after nearly famishing at the roadside. This came about after waiting about an hour for a taxi - they took the night off - after which we literally dived out of the taxi at the first sight of food. Last night I also witnessed a first, Miranda eat an aperetif of shellfish so this was definitely a special night, one to remember. Eventually midnight arrived and with a flurry of fireworks, singing, people dancing and receiving an invitation from Gonzalo (a 30 something with wife and kid) to visit him in Santiago, we saw in the New Year.
Had the taxi drivers of Mendoza not thrown a spanner in the works, we may (or may not) after 3-4 hours kip had managed to attend this 'Rave in a vineyard', but we had a good night... doing what the locals do, which is eating and drinking at midnight!
Happy New Year

Hello both. Happy New Year to you too! Glad you enjoyed a night out with the locals. We did the usual, and I drove home sober [again....as usual].
