... paintings, while Harvey goes to explore the area around the cave, including the river across the road. When he returns he has the point & shoot camera with him, sets it for flash and takes a few photos of the cave ceiling. When we look at these, we are amazed at what other figures can be seen that are not apparent with the naked eye! "Look at this" is our mantra! The camera sees things that our eyes do not! I found ...

... itineraries and discuss the world! When we walk out of Macarena it is just after 11 PM and most of Villa La Angostura is closed, including the restaurants. We drive back in the direction of El Faro and manage to locate its well-lit sign. We are so full we do not even eat our chocolate by the side of the bed. We turn off the lights, put our heads on the pillow and we are asleep! Today's photos! http://www.margieswebgallery.com/galler ies/argentina/Day13%2012-15-08/

... are easy hikes. He has an album showcasing the most popular attractions in the area with information about each and photos. Andres provides us with a local map and list of restaurants. Very helpful! We have 4 nights/3 full days here in Villa La Angostura and there is no shortage of options! One of the days will be a special day trip with Anna and Gabriel (from Wild Patagonia http://www.wild-patagonia.com), so we actually have two days of ...

... first we had to celebrate another, yes ANOTHER birthday! Ofer, one of the Israeli guests was 24 and we made him a cream, strawberry and kiwi, his favourite fruit, cake! He was well impressed and touched by the gesture! So out we trudged through the snow and sludge to the casino! Ofer had already one 200 Euro here playing poker and we were hoping he would do the same again tonight! After a quick tour of the place and hanging around the big spender tables looking for some rich ...

... was **** anyways, some other people noticed too but of course not many boys did, but that is a good thing too cause it means I don't look entirely ridiculous!! Bonus! So the rest of the week was spent getting use to my new hairstyle and preparing for the Christmas in July Party that we had planned to have in the hostel on Friday night! By preparing I mean making my costume out of crepe paper, toilet roll, sticky tape and cardboard! Blue Peter eat your heart out!

... not revolving. We certainly felt like we'd earned that lunch. Took the chair lift down and that was fantastic. Better than a gondola cos you are right out in the open, in the fresh air. I'd never been on a chairlift out of season before (ski season that is), it was beautiful. That was basically our time in Bariloche over. I can see why Nati and Lucas want to move there. It was so quiet, serene and picturesque compared to the hustle bustle of Buenos Aires.

... toch maar weer oppakken als ik thuis ben) en om in die omgeving rond te hobbelen. Het beneemt je bijna de adem, zo mooi is het daar! īs Ochtends werden we opgepikt door een superversleten jeep en ik had het gevoel dat ie elk moment uit elkaar zou vallen. Achterin zaten twee Canadezen ( Brenda en Cliff...?) die al hun bagage hadden mee genomen. Ze vlogen namelijk na de trip direct door naar Buenos Aires en anders konden ze het tijdtechnisch niet ...

... lay in the hammocks we met Christian and Carolina, a Chilean couple both studying medicine and in true Chilean style we polished off a bottle of Pisco and some beer. Sunday 12 February 2006 The next morning the hostel owner asked whether we could spend the night in a cabin with Christian and Carolina since he had a large group who had just completed the cross border run arriving that day. Crazy people! We readily agreed and began moving from the dorm ...

... t dominate the entire peninsula, the southern tip has an enormous, protected stand of this enchanting, cinnamon-barked beauty. Along the hike, pleasant thoughts of the Herb Garden came to mind as we passed areas of wild foxglove, honeysuckle, St. John's Wort, mullein, healall and lilies. A delicious candle-lit dinner in a quaint log cabin that evening convinced us that a few more days in Argentina were definitely in order. Apart from needing to reach the tip of South America before ...
