8 Bariloche lake and Cerro Campanario

Well that was some night ! Late night food and then very cold night - sleep not very good ! F-cold!
I was breakfast rep today and glad to get up at 720! I was awake ! Breakfast coffee much needed!
Chaotic trip to town via bus as we couldn’t get voucher and nice lady paid for us for free!
Andy luckily found English speaker on bus who gave us lowdown on town !
In town it’s find a shop that sells warm kit that is needed as we’re only a third way down Patagonia!
Money exchange process is odd , find strange man on street , obtain rate 8500 per 100dollars US as long as it’s a blue striped 100 bill ! He takes us to a liquor shop off Main Street to complete the deal out of sight of any you know who ! Bank rate about 5000!
We now have wads due to 150percent inflation !
Great view from town across the huge lake - like Canada lakes on steroids here in their Lake District !
We see the sights both cathedral and city hall !
The wind is up but sun still out there !
After a successful shop for gear to aid sleep and walking we have a huge sandwich lunch - enough for three meals and a very passable Malbec for under fiver!
Afternoon romp up hill via ski lift at cerro campanario! It’s majestic and the sun is out to enable a 360 view of the area , mountains and lakes ! It’s epic!
Home for a quiet sunny afternoon and rumour is there’s a beer festival tonight somewhere close ! No festival but a nice porter and amber ale and then a swifter in the local across the road, and a good day and a warmer night !En savoir plus
