Arriving in Bariloche
We got into Bariloche at about 2:30pm. The drive in was amazing. It was sunny and the huge lakes surrounded by snow capped mountains were stunning. It reminded me a bit of Tahoe back in California, only bigger. Bariloche sits right on the edge of the huge lake and national park, Nahuel Huapi.
When we got off the bus I could definitely feel that the climate was quite a bit cooler than back in Buenos Aires. I was in shorts and a t-shirt and I could immediately tell that I’d need to wear much warmer clothes while we were so far south.
Emily’s friend from back home, Anna, picked us up with a friend at the bus station. After a stop for some tasty ice-cream in town we all headed out to her home which was about 20km outside of the city.
She lives in a beautiful cabin that was actually built by her husband, Bicho. We set up camp in the “honeymoon suite” and next went for a walk to the lake near her home so we could get a feel for the area.
Once we returned from the walk Em helped Anna made empanadas for dinner. They were delicious as was the bottle of Argentinean wine she had picked up in town. Em and I went to bed with full stomachs in the small cabin next to the house.
