Hosteria Las Balsas Villa La Angostura

... long I think we have been here; it feels like about 15 minutes, yet Harvey says it has been over an hour! During this time, to our amazement, no other people have come to the cave. Time has just flowed! We could easily have spent more time exploring the area across from the cave, along the river. But we need to move on! We continue on Route 63 toward Confluencia where we will pick up Route 65, an unpaved road to Villa Traful (a ...

... chose a mid-point to meet, at the junction of 231 and 237. We anticipated that it would take about 20 minutes from Villa La Angostura, but it was actually 55 minutes! Our cell phones come in handy as we connect with Anna and determine that we are not lost, just taking longer than expected! Their car is easy to spot when we get to the junction; first of all, there are no other cars around! Second of all, there ...

... came over and asked me to dance, why oh why didn't I wear my sparkly tango shoes? But I was so delighted to be doing real Tango with a rel Argentine that I didn't care that I was in my 5 dollar trainers and tracksuit bottoms! I just fell into his arms and let me music sweep me around the dance floor. I was in heaven! We then hit the town but there was nothing on nor nobody around so we went back to the casino to check out the boys and see how much money they were winning. they were ...

... vergleichen laesst (ausser den Preisen, leider) Naechste Woche werde ich mich dann aufmachen richtung Sueden (Feuerland). Muss mir aber noch ueberlegen, ob ich per bus oder per Schiff reisen soll (Schiff wuerde mich sehr reizen). Nach dem Kehr in der Suedlichsten Stadt und dem Suedlichsten Skigebiet (claro, que me voy ahi tambien) werd ich dann entlang der Ostkueste wieder nordwaerts fahren und Anfang September Martina treffen :-)

... 5pm and happy hour in the bar is 6pm I only have one hour a day to do anything that I need to do! Not that I have much to do! Anyways, none of this matters cause I never did manage to get out of bed in the a.m so I guess it is God's will for me to be a late sleeper! Who am I to argue with the big man upstairs? But none of this getting up and out of the hostel mattered much this week because of the weather! First of all it started to snow, even right ...

... the southern shores of the same lake. We spent time around both communities and wish we had more time to spend in Villa La Angostura where the quiet beaches and hikes were plentiful. Our sons who love fishing would enjoy Lake Nahuel Huapi with its various species of trout that attract anglers from around the world. We´re not roughing it here. The Casa del Bosque where we stayed featured a spa, a fitness room, a Finnish steam room, a sauna ...

... though, turned out that I can now tell you with great authority how long it takes for 2 people to shower & pack (some very overful) backpacks. That time being: As long as you have. Which in this case was about 15 minutes. Safely on the Truck & it was a Long Long Long day (12hrs) just driving south through the Patogonian barren-ish land. Scrub & Big ...

... daar nu een rauw stuk vlees op de grond? Neee, dat kan niet, zal wel achtergelaten zijn door een roofdier ofzo) maar had er verder geen acht op geslagen. Toen echter ter sprake kwam dat er een stuk vlees kwijt was ging er bij hem een belletje rinkelen. Ze gingen terug naar de plek en even later kwam hij met enorme homp vlees uit de struiken. Het werd gewassen in een nabijgelegen riviertje en vervolgens op de barbeque gegooid. Er was zoveel ...

... Carolina cooked a fabulous meal of steak and salad, whilst I took charge of ensuring that everyone's glasses were full, a job I am definitely skilled at handling. The steak certainly did not disappoint and we cant wait to sample more. Monday 13 February 2006 Having said goodbye to Christian and Carolina, we moved rooms yet again, this time to a double and had another long lazy lunch in yet another fantastic restaurant. I could certainly get used to this ...
