January 28th, 2009- This day passed in the last checking of the equipment necessary for the expedition to Acconqagua .Tomorrow our team sets off for the EAP (Extra Acclimatization Program) the aim of which is to win the peak Vallecitos 5500 m high , or as Slobodan intends , to win The Plata Peak 6300 m high so that Daniela can acclimatize and finally enlarge the chances for the climb.

In a few days that follow there may not be any reports . Slobodan bought Argentinian SIM card with which he is going to send short messages as reports from EAP and during the approach to BC Plaza de Mulas from where they‘ll be able to send photos while they are in the BC (Base Camp). There is a possibility that the SMS can’t be sent so we apologize to all if there are no reports from the BC. If there are ones we’ll all be satisfied.

The last several hours the team spent in the sightseeing walk through Mendoza , and as for tomorrow the first thing before them before the start is to get the permission for the climb to Acconqagua.

Daniela and Slobodan feel physically and mentally very well , they had enough rest and adapted to the climate and time difference. Of great help to them was Champion Nutrition supplementary that they had taken with them to Argentina and had used during the months of trainings and preparations.
