Having bid an emotional farewell to the beautiful horses at Odfjell, we headed out on to our final stop in South America - Buenos Aries. Rounding off a crazy few months, we spent the first nights of our trip so far in a shared dorm (somewhat unhappily for me, 'shared mixed' dorm usually means 'lots of horrible smelly men who snore' dorm where I'm the lone female...). Despite the somewhat interesting sleeping arrangements, our few days in the Argentine capital were spent taking in the sights by foot (not that easy given the weather which was 1) HOT 2) HUMID and 3) stormy beyond belief).

Unfortunately for me, the epic New Year party and the following hours of sitting in the cold night air took their toll on my body, and I spent the next week in bed with flu, shivering, aching and generally looking like a warmed up corpse. For this reason, the last week of our time in Chile was pretty uneventful (which definitely doesn't make for a fun post!). Joe carried on his research in the office alone and put together a presentation, and by the end of the week I was just enough recovered to present my findings as well. Overall our time at Odfjell was unique and very interesting. The job was enjoyable, the estate was beautiful and the horses were just the highlight of everything. In hindsight, we think hiring a car would have been a good option, just to allow us to get off the vineyard without having to rely solely on Uber (which was not easy). We made it into Santiago for a last weekend, walking back around the sights, picking up some last minute essentials and generally relaxing (including indulging in a pizza at Patio Bellavista).
