We had been trying to make plans to rent a car to go and see the ruta de los 7 lagos, a scenic drive along many lakes between Villa la Angostura and San Martin de los Andes. But it got too complicated and we ended up not doing that.
Toto left in the morning to San Martin, and with Xue, Aamit and Cioran, an Irish friend of Xue, we bought a picnic and took a bus to an hour drive away along the lake Nahuel Huapi. We passed through Colonia Suissa, a small village founded by Swiss immigrants, and we got down at the bus terminus, at Bahia Lopez. There we had our picnic.
Then we went walking in the forest, along the road first, and then on forest trails. It was full of bamboos, forming alleys, and sometimes even a covered passageway.
We came across a roman bridge: a stone bridge built in roman style, totally random in this place, with bamboos all around. We reached diferent lakes and viewpoints, it was a very nice walk during the afternoon.
We ended up in Llao Llao, from where we took a bus back to Bariloche.
In the evening, after a nap, we cooked bife de chorizo and gnoccis with a blue cheese sauce... it was great.
Later we went out witha bunch of people from the hostel. Actually there were 5 americans out of 9 people, it is quite rare to have such a high representationof one nationlity. The others were Xue and two Argentinian girls from Buenos Aires.
We went toa bar, and then to a club, we had good fun and went to bed veeeery late.
In the morning Amit managed to wake me up to say goodbye, as he was leaving to Villa la Angostura.
I woke up late, kissed goodbye to Xue who was leaving as well (and forgot to pay the hostel, hohoho), and I spent the afternoonon on internet.
