Argentina where are we we're in La Cumbrecita La Cumbrecita in

the province of Cordoba I'm a little being here I'm not used to the altitude

or all we're also hiking at the moment again yeah we did

so yeah it's O about 1500 meters here were up in the mountains in the valley

of kalamu cheetah yes this is the town where I went to school as a child yeah

so it feels familiar in some ways yet I didn't really explore or do a whole lot

of hiking when I was in this area no and I remember you were saying that the town

is really exploded and yes in terms of development since you were last here

lots of new businesses lots of new people living here today it's got a plan

of action two things we want to do number one hike yep visit a few

different lookout points and get beautiful views of the whole area and

number two food there's a lot of like German Swiss inspired cow and that's

really popular in this area and it seems to be what most restaurants specialize

in yeah so after a bit of hiking we're gonna go get some food honestly today is

a bit of a late start to the day we had breakfast at 10:00 so we need some

exercise or exercise before we work up lunch

so we are now arriving at the lookout point

it's called mirador de cristo chico or lookout little Christ eighty meters off

the main road not too difficult

so one thing to mention here is the beautiful weather on the summer day I

actually checked the weather online before we left and it said the maximum

was gonna be 21 degrees and it's January it's February February just try be area

right now yeah and what's nice as the Sun is peeking through the clouds but

it's also we're getting a lot of cloud cover as well and there's a light breeze

this is perfect for walking I started off with the fleece now your inanity

t-shirt and who knows you might be putting on the fleece again at some

point

our next stop the cutest little chapel you ever did see it's up there this is

what it looks like

right now we have stopped for a quick break to catch our breaths at blasted us

beyond arrows which means Pioneer Square and they have lots of really cool wood

sculptures all over town and there's one just behind us with two little owls oh

yeah check out the workmanship on this one it's got like these roses and Ivy

carved into the tree trunks pretty cool Sam is very impressed by the tree trunks

you see here kind of mesmerized by them they look ancient ancient looks like

something out of like a haunted movie or something so another really cool thing

about this town is that it's pedestrian only so you may see a few cars in town

but only people who live here are allowed to actually drive them in if

you're visiting you have to leave your car out in this massive parking lot at

the entrance of town and then they bring you in by bus or you can walk down the

hill it's a very short walk well yeah that gives this place a very peaceful

tranquil feel like you can just roam down the dirt roads and walk around for

hours really and there are hardly any vehicles so yeah a beautiful place for

hiking enjoying nature we're just surrounded by trees and forests and

flowers people really take care of their gardens here so you have so many

different flowers in bloom and everything is just perfectly manicured

so yeah we're enjoying this little walk here

so that was the chapel founded in the year 1967

I actually remember coming to church there as a kid a handful of times

sometimes the service was in Spanish sometimes it was elf Deutsch yes it's

really cool to see it they're still standing it really is beautiful from the

exterior and yeah it's very cozy inside you can only fit a few people sometimes

people would stand outside to listen to part of the service

yeah we're continuing our walk through town still panting here I think it's

going to take long words and upwards so take me a few days to get used to this

we've been stuffing ourselves with parrisha pizza with empanadas pakoras up

ahora so you know rudder shape this is exactly what we need burn the belly

the plan today the German food so we have arrived at a restaurant called the

squat Orientis the four winds this is one of the few restaurants that doesn't

have a German name here most of them do have German names and yeah lots of

German dishes we're gonna order two then two German desserts oh yeah yeah German

beers but is the plan and Sam is going to update us on the status of his finger

which he nearly lost the only new family and a very valuable lesson today

oh my gosh guys okay so I was flying the drone

I mean Diaz bringing it back to me I just got a new one it's a really tiny

one called the DJI spark it's this little tiny and cute I was just getting

a little bit cocky I was just like reaching up to grab it I miscalculated

because of the wind it kind of I think it actually came either one above her

down I can't remember because I'm just like in shock that the boy he'd sliced

up with my thumb and that blood was just going everywhere is like flowing like a

river yeah I thought I was gonna need stitches it was a deep cut but not deep

enough for that so yeah I got a really lucky I could've like sliced off my

thumb or something else I don't know it was scary I've never seen so much blood

on the ground and we had to wrap it with stalk Hardy she took off of her foot

which is gross it was the only thing that I could put fresh around it and it

was over 15 or 20 minute walk and there's a little local ambulance and

fortunately there was a really kind nurse who you know disinfected it

wrapped it up in this nice bandage as you can see and yeah that was a

unexpected event and so we're having lunch and three when we had probably

planned on having it at around 1:30 so that's what happened

eventful day with Samuel Jeffrey cheers to say I'm keeping his finger nice to

have a full set of fingers and toes whatever is good we got two beers

artisanal beers burg Roy and mine is the chop which is 350ml yes

I got the honey one yours is called Buda which is a pint

500ml right yeah half a liter and yours is the red yep we also got a little bit

of bread so we have toasted bread on fresh bread with a little dip oh looks

like a garlicky a garlicky butter and heard

try some for us already you've been munching away off-camera those beers

I've been helping myself and it's good I haven't tried any of it as per usual

we are snacking on this until the mains arrive this is really good

bread beer you could honestly be a meal in and of itself

lately carb heavy huh how's that red oh my gosh guys that beer is refreshing and

after my war wound you know I feel like I deserve one maybe I'll even have

another one hole leader of cerveza leader of beer to numb my pain no

actually guys it's not it's not Sur anymore it was sore for like the first

hour and the the medical attendant is such a good job of like wrapping it up

putting applying pressure so I feel totally fine the food is here it is a

feast look at the size of this massive portion this is what they call the the

German dish we call this the German dish not doluma and we have some smoked pork

yeah we have choucroute which is a lot like sauerkraut yeah I'm with like

little bits of ham here it's basically a fermented cabbage it's delicious mhm if

we turn the dish over we have a sausage this one's called a Canuck forest and it

has Kanak in front of it because that's the sound it makes when you bite into it

Connect connect connect connect all the juices yeah this skin gives it a crunch

a thick skin what else in there and we have some sauteed potatoes with parsley

a little bit of pepper and we have some mustard and this all just looks really

wonderful Sam and I are gonna share these dishes and yeah I'm just very

happy seeing this food in front of me I'm so hungry I'm trying oh I've dug in

no problem no problem oh it's wonderful I can tell you already the pork meat is

so tender mm-hmm it just kind of melts in your mouth it's

wonderful with mustard I'm just so good and it's such a

generous piece of me like it's a thick slice big hunk big chunk of ham

basically basically the other thing you have a gigantic sausage - yeah little

bits of bacon in there yep and the sausage this is meat hobbies -

different well look at the juices coming out typical German food here that's what

you find in looking vicita it's also good isn't it I'm gonna save a bit for

you thank you - it is

it's on your plate my gosh it looks good sometimes you get goulash in it's kind

of runny and skimpy little pieces of meat but check out the big chunks it's

hard and it is hard even this is the kind of food you eat after you go home

for a walk for a long time and when you know when you sucks up when your fingers

you do you thing to have makes it all better

well better so the spatula it's um it's like a hand rolled noodle yes it has a

funny little shape there handy needs and I've had them kind of cleaned before

I've had them with cheese mm-hmm and they go really well the goulash it's

like a nice car option that you can have with you with your goulash oh yeah I had

forgotten we've had lots of spatula in Germany and Austria it was like melted

cheese on top guys meat is so tender oh my gosh that warrants another bite how

have you been enjoying the food in this area because we've been in this part of

the court a lot of three days now loving the food here and just in general I'm

getting fat in Argentina and food is ooh good I can't control myself guys oh the

car we love our cards with all the carbs in the world here don't look beer all

right our jury time for you to try the goulash I think you're gonna like this a

lot this is my third plate of goulash that I'm having since we arrived in

Argentina I'm not tired of it yet no I know because every where does it a

little bit differently though I know these two these two things are made for

each other the goulash and the spatula I'm very filling but we want to see a

room for dessert because we saw two different German desserts on the menu

that we really want to try trying to exercise self-control here but it's so

hard like these plates are gonna be empty in a matter of minutes

I know mm-hmm there's gonna be no self-control after all soft control so

cool to be able to share such such a great meal isn't it yeah imagine if you

were traveling solo you wouldn't get to try everything on the menu I know you

have to pick one or the other what a lucky man to be married the benefits of

being married

I'm a foodie in tow so this is like the smoked ham um dip a bit here in the

master I love that make sense let's try this Erica aka that's approved it's

gonna get first swim I was bad so good so juicy dessert time guys we ordered

two beautiful cakes allow me to present to you my goodness are the huge the up

for Corrin yeah which is lemon flavored cake and

then you have some apples and like crumbly bits that are made with butter

and sugar and then you have icing sugar on top the other one this one is called

the commission itten yep which is kind of like a phyllo pastry almost and it

has a custard and then it has a raspberry jam another layer of the

pastry and then like sugary glaze over top look at that

so crumbly so moist got raisins got apples freshly made today this is

actually a new dessert for me I knew the absolute cuckoo but I've

never tried this one before this is really nice and the raspberry jam is

sweet yet tart and then you have the glaze on top gives it a bit of a unique

kick with the raspberry huh yeah it's just a really nice combination

the only thing missing would be like a cup of tea or coffee

but we feel that yes here but yeah this has been a wonderful place if you ever

come to goodness eat them los cuatro Vientos is the name of this restaurant

yeah first time eating here but very very impressed

we'll be back again wonderful wonderful meal

beyond stuff the total for that two massive mains

with lots of miik two beers two desserts it came to 1025 argentine pesos which is

the equivalent of 27 US dollars so all in all I would say not bad because we

really did not need all that food we could have easily shared a main but yeah

it was delicious the service was great and yeah like I said before we would

highly recommend that place

lower forest it's a bit of like a little shortcut or like a side street in the

town and it's a lot darker and wetter here like you're covered by trees

cute little spot
