Moving On

So we have been in Bariloche for two days. Bariloche is home to the seven lakes. Our hostel, Pudu, is on the top of a hill which over looks one of them, Lago Nahuel Huapi. On our first day here we hiked (without packs this time) up to Campanario. The hike is only 45min. when you get to the top it over looks the most spectacular view. We sat, had a beer, took pictures and made it back down. Then we went on a bamboo trail that lead to Lago Escondido. After a 6 hour day of hiking we ended the day with some pizza, beer and a movie at the hostel, not to bad.

Today we walked to the bus stop that went to Villa Coihues and while waiting we met a guy from Canada who was going on the same hike, so the three of us decided to do it togethter. We walked off the bus and met up with our tour guides (three local dogs) that walked us to the waterfall. Then all six of us walked to Catedral (4 hour hike). We then left the dogs and went back to Bariloche for beer and chocolate...

Bariloche has been really great to us. We have met some really friendly people and if you are ever here you must stay at Pudu Hostel, the owners ROCK and they have a bar with some local beer that is really good! Tomorrow we will be on our way to Mendoza! Where we will have some WINE!!! We can´t wait!
