Ok I did another 2000 metres yesterday and then sat on a bus for 12 hours going to Mendoza.
I arrived in Mendoza this morning and got on yet another bus and went up to look at Aconcagua. Americas highest mountain at 6962 metres. Indeed it is the highest mountain outside the Himalayas. It was a bit of a hike (no I didn´t go up), its off the main road but well worth it. Now I will go to bed in a bed for the dirst time in a couple of days.

P.S. They say that you can walk up Aconcagua you don´t need to climb. Any takers?
