Bariloche and the Argentinian Lakes

sunset

A bit further north we reached Bariloche, which is the biggest town in Argentinian Pategonia, and is in the Lakes District. Unbelievably, this place looks so much like Switzerland it´s scary. Its full of chalet style houses, chocolate shops, fondue restaurants and St. Bernard dogs. It´s a bit weird, but still the best place to be for Easter!

Went for a three day hike where we got some pretty cool views, and got to camp by some gorgeous lakes whilst eating chocolate and watching for shooting stars. We also hired a car with the Canadians. We let Adam drive, because although he´s not so used to a manual car, it´s better he drives and we stall, than we drive and be on the wrong side of the road! Turned out to be really fun, found a wicked lake to camp by and had a camp fire and drank wine until the small hours. I even braved the freezing water for a swim, albeit for about 30 seconds.

Back over to the Chilean Lakes next to find some volcanos! Stay tuned!
