It's a 13 hour bus ride to Mendoza, so we opted for the deluxe bus where the seats fold down almost flat. It was a surprisingly comfortable ride, if a little ridiculous. We sat on the top floor at the very front so we were able to watch from above as the bus moved out of the city. They served a large dinner, although it had a number of prepackaged items that were nigh inedible. The warmed up portion of dinner was pretty decent: some chicken in a tomato sauce with peas and mashed potatoes. They also served wine and then after dinner, there was a bar service with the option of coffee, champagne or whiskey. There were options of movies to watch on the individual screens in either English or Spanish, but we just read and blogged until it was time for bed.
We slept fairly well except that the bus slowed down a number of times and woke us up. Apparently we're trained that on bus rides, if it slows, we are coming to the destination. About an hour and a half before Mendoza, around 8am, we woke up and they did a breakfast service, which was also fairly inedible. Anyway, we got into Mendoza at 9:15am pretty well rested. Argentina has great buses.
