We finally arrived in Bariloche about 9.30 ish pm.  We took a cab into town.  Kat and Tom were here before going rafting do they knew their way around the place.  We tried to get into the previous hostel and it was full.  We tried about 6 or 7 others all full.  Not the bestsituation to be in.  We finally found one which had a private room with four beds and it was nice and clean and beggars couldnīt be choosers. It was more expensive than any of us would notmally pay but hey!! 

We headed into town for dinner about 11.30pm, ots a good job the argentines eat late.  They took me to their favourite steak restaurant where they were meeting their Israeli friend.  Well for 40 pesos (8 quid) you get two massive steaks cooked to perfection. Expensive for here but well worth it. mmm mmm

I only had the next full day in Bariloche before heading back on a 20 hour journey back to Ba As.  We wandered around a bit.  THe place looks like somewhere in the alps with loads of wooden chalets.  It is on a big lake with snow capped mountains in the background. It looked a lot like New Zealand, the landscape.  We headed back to the same stak place again for dinner.  I was traeating myself before heading back to BA.

My bus left for BA at noon.  Just before then I took a look at my ticket that I had bought on the net and realised that maybe I should have exchanged the voucher i had for the real ticket in town!! arghhh!!!  So I went over to the ticker booth in the bus station and had to wait an age, it was now 11.50am.  A very friendly man behind the counter understood my problem that i had to explain in very poor spanish.  He kindly spoke to the bus driver and conductor and put mr on the bus....thankyou!!!  Not a mistake to be repeated though.
