... It is a charming small romantic restaurant. We receive a little education in the wines of the region and then order a salad, steak and wine. By the time you order two individual glasses of wine, from a price perspective it makes sense to order a bottle. We toast such a relaxing day, have a bit more wine than normal and thoroughly enjoy our meal! We start a conversation with the couple sitting near us who are from Buenos Aires. We ...

... with a manual transmission, learned how to drive on gravel roads and now has had more practice with driving in low gear on a steep incline! El Faro is situated directly on the Lago Nahuel Huapi and has a spectacular view of the lake and mountains. This place is a "boutique" hotel and is so polished in comparison to our cabana at El Aura. Our room feels like our home and we are very comfortable. We have a large picture window and balcony ...

... the turn of feet torturer Mark to celebrate his big 30!!! We made him a lovely sponge, fresh cream and strawberry cake, with a bazillion candles on it, that took him ages to blow out! Christophe made chocolate brownies and make had a chocolate Mamushka money! So it was a sugar fest! We also had some San Pedro cactus, a naturally-occurring psychedelic! I drunk to cups of the rank stuff! It was foul tasting! I waited for the effects to kick in! It is said that San Pedro can invoke a ...

... anstehen am Lift. Die beim Mieten verlorenen Freunde gleich bei der ersten Fahrt wieder getroffen.

... or lack there of, I would count my blessings! I mimed that I wanted a long fringe and long layers and that I didn't want to loose any of the length, my hair at this stage came down past my shoulder blades! She called someone over, who spoke no English to translate, my bottom lip began to tremble! This was not good! She grabbed her instrument of power, those small, but deadly pair of scissors that have the ability to make someones day or make someones ...

... and museum - don't think we appreciated the irony at the time!! Bariloche, as well as being one of the top ski resorts in the country, is also the chocolate capital of Argentina. We were given a tour of "chocolate through the ages" and then were required to buy some ... you know what I mean. We each took a little box and our tour guide filled it to bursting with our personal selections. It was definitely delicious. I liked that part better than the history ...

... to the other side of town before we realized, and then we had to go to back the other way on a different bus, after all the traveling we had done that day it was super frustrating. 5. we finally got to stupid ass Puerto Octay to find that all the campsites were booked up, and we ended up camping on some nasty ass field somewhere where wee could not build a fire and we went to bed hungry, and still without a shower.

... a lift I sat down and started playing with a dog, until I realised that might actual hamper our chances if people thought we had a dog as well. Oh well I'll just make faces at the baby instead. 20 minutes later we greeted our Chilean friends who had followed in our footsteps and had also paid the site owner for a lift. Unfortunately the reunion was short lived as despite requesting the documentation Carla was unable to get clearance from the Santiago ...

... of the fish appears on all street signs. As neither fishing nor trout are on our top ten list (sorry, Geoff!) we opted instead to spend several hours marvelling at the work of architect and sculptor, Alejandro Santana in a local park. His inspiration, passion and hard work resulted in the construction of a remarkable "Vía Cristi", with sixteen stations of the cross. Here, one can not help but be moved by the impressive, graphic sculptures and mosaics that parallel the crucifixion of ...
