Bariloche - Patagonia in Argentina

Bariloche is great. We really enjoyed our hostel and got back into cooking. It pissed down the whole time for us, but there is heaps to do, and unfortunately we hung around for 8 nights and only managed to do one thing, which was the chair lift up Cerro Campanario. There was some great views, although somewhat windy, and we walked back down. It was really steep, but only took 20 minuntes. And now my legs are killing! Sampling the many chocolates is a must. And we managed to catch up with Rebecca again which was great. One big night ending up at a club, and another ten pin bowling. But the things we would have like to do was the following: 1. Take a cruise on the lakes to Punte Blest. It has to be good weather or you can´t see the views and apparently you feel like you are just herded around. 2. Take the tourist Saturday train. A bus takes you to El Bolson and then you get on the train. Few stop offs on the way, but full day activity. 3. Go up the cable car of Cerro Otto. 4. You could hire a bike for a 60km circuit. There is a paper called The Travellers Guru - it suggests heaps of stops to make on the way. 5. There is also a five and a half hour walk - Cerro Lopez - just after the little town of Colonia Suiz, up to a Refugio and back. Apparently takes you to the snow line.
