Day 16: Drive Seven Lakes Route from Villa La Angostura Arrive in Rio Hermoso Hotel. Thursday, December 18th The color of water. Have you ever noticed how many different shades of blue a lake can display? What a light show early in the morning right outside our balcony, gazing at Lago Nahuel Huapi! I am drawn to today's deep blue color with the reflections of the snow-capped mountains and the wind patterns on the surface. Looking through the camera's telephoto lens, I see more than the broad ...
San Martin de los Andes, Argentina journeyerDay 17: Enjoying Rio Hermoso Hotel and San Martin de los Andes Friday, December 19th A lesson in leisurely and graciously enjoying breakfast is the first order of the day. We walk up to the breakfast buffet and wonder if this could be all that is offered. There is some fresh fruit, yogurts, and cereals. I am concerned if Harvey will have enough to eat, since he can't have the yogurt or cereals (his lactose intolerance). We sit at our table and Jackie asks us if we want coffee and I order café...
San Martin de los Andes, Argentina journeyerDay 18: The day at Rio Hermoso Hotel Saturday, December 20th At breakfast, we meet Connie & Leonardo from Buenos Aires. Leonardo and his friends were here at Rio Hermoso Hotel several weeks ago for the flyfishing. Their wives spent the time on a shopping expedition in Miami! Yes, in Miami we have excellent shopping. Everything looked so reasonably priced that Connie purchased extra luggage to carry home all her goodies. We ask what else they did in Miami - nothing else she replies. That w...
San Martin de los Andes, Argentina journeyerDay 20: Lake Meliquina, Rio Hermoso Hotel Monday, December 22nd This is our last full day in Argentina where we will not have any travel from one place to another, either by car or air. Our concept for the day is to go to a beautiful spot on the nearby Lago Meliquina, enjoy the sun and warmer weather, listen to the waves and then return to the Rio Hermoso Hotel and enjoy its beautiful location next to the river later in the day. There really is no need to drive further - we have just what we ...
San Martin de los Andes, Argentina journeyerDay 19: Lago Meliquina, Lago Hermoso and Rio Hermoso Hotel Sunday, December 21st We wake up to snow on our mountain! We bundle up and take our first walk of the day on Rio Hermoso's path by the river. We get in the car and spontaneously choose to drive left to check out Lago Meliquina. We see a national park sign in front of a dirt road and turn to check it out. We follow it until we get to a big ditch - backup, turnaround, park and walk down to the lake. I take a big deep breath of the fresh...

... re watching. But that's half the fun of being here, to have time to learn and collect the correct data. At the end, it's repairing holes in tents, testing zips to be replaced, cleaning stoves of soot and muck, meeting for last goodbyes till next time. And dining out on some steak and wine. Ice cream too. As for TV, it doesn't seem to change much. Books are read and other things excite. Like receiving my iPod and entering the 21st Centaury. Still plays ...
Lanin National Park, Patagonia, Argentina ianbaker1967... necessary tarmac laying tasks in the 4 months of I Can't Believe It's Not Summer. And so to Bajo Caracoles, a settlement that takes true advantage of its non proximity to other towns. Without any gas, food or lodging within 300km to the south and 150km to the north, it keenly holds all passing travelers hostage to whatever rates it can dream up. Only here can you find the most expensive hostel in Argentina, little more than a fibro board room in a bakery (re-heatery) with 4 bunk ...
San Martin de los Andes, Argentina barneyandpier... learned whist in New Zealand by the end of the afternoon I was happily going in to the deep snow and turning all the way down the mountain, both regular and switch and not once did I fall off the chair lift! Progress!! On the way home I was so exhausted I fell asleep on the bus and missed my stop but when I did get back to the hostel there was a delicious Sunday roast for dinner and my friend Rosy, the one from my school that I bumped into in Rosario, was here ...

San Martin de los Andes, Argentina pablorodrigoBecause of our resounding success hitching we tried to get up early and continue hitching to San Martin De Los Andes. This failed imediatly as we slept in till 11am but we got hitching and there were very few cars. We walked, and walked, and walked and there was nothing. We walked 10km with our heavy packs before we came to anything. We asked in the shop and they informed us there was nothing for a further 20km! More than we could handle. We kept ...
