Cerro Campanario San Carlos de Bariloche

Friends and Family,
Feels like I have a lot to catch up on because we have done and seen so much here in South America.

After an 8 hour bus journey, a couple of border stops and a police check with a sniffer dog we arrived in Bariloche. We took a cab from the bus terminal into town to our hostel and arrived around 11 pm. The welcome in Argentina was just fantastic. Despite not having any peso on us (only US dollars) the cab driver took us into town and we had an …

Another 11 hour journey saw us leave Chile and enter Argentina...but 11 hours goes pretty quickly when you have such stunning views. We travelled the 7 Lakes Road leaving the pine trees and my favourite tree...the Monkey Puzzle Tree behind....(actually my favourite tree is the Frangipani Tree, with the Monkey Puzzle Tree following close behind). …

After Cordoba our next stop was Bariloche, which we were really looking forward to as it looked fantastic and we had heard such great things about it - we weren't disappointed! We had originally planned to stop off and stay in Neoquen, but when we arrived in their swanky bus station we realised we were only six hours away, and with a bus leaving in …

We got to Bariloche 3 hours late because of a protest half way between the citys'.
They blocked off the road with tyres,logs and small fires until the police came and moved them, making a 3km+ line of traffic. So much for the supposed 18 hour bus ride!
We took a bus from the bus station to the town centre, again aggrivating the locals with …

So after havinng crossed the border from Chile to Argentina we arried in Rio Gallegos where we hab about 5 hours until our next bus to Bariloche was supposed to leave.

Next day, after our luxurous meal, we also got invited to stay with Sebi and his wife Fer (who is pregnant, already 8th month - even more generous that we were welcome to stay).
