The Vagrant Gypsy Life

Day 65, Tue Nov 2 El Bolson / Bariloche

Time to say goodbye to El Bolson. My hosts at La Camorra treated me like family. Made me want to visit them again, if I make it to Patagonia in the future.

The two hour bus ride went by quickly again thanks to the view. I never seem to get tired of mountains and lakes!

After arriving in Bariloche, decided to take a lazy day; spent the afternoon eating ice cream at Jujau, which is reputed to have the best ice cream in Argentina, eating chocolates and watching RocknRolla.

Day 65, Wed Nov 3 Bariloche

The day was cloudy and I started the day thinnking I would have a lazy day, but was convinced by another traveller to join him on a 25 k bike ride (the ciruicto chico, small circuit). It is a ride along the Llao Llao peninsula, taking in some of the major sights. We spent a good afternoon cycling, doing a bit of hiking and being the proper tourists that we are, taking photographs from the miradors.

Once again, I spent all the money that I had budgeted for my meal on chocolates and made myself a tuna salad for dinner. I havent had a real sit down meal in Bariloche!

Day 66, Thu Nov 4 Bariloche

My last day in Bariloche was quite memorable. Gorgeous sunshine! I spent the day hiking to Refugio Grey. It was a 6.5 hour roundtrip to refugio grey. I had a great time, running into about just 4 people on my entire hike. The top of the mountain was still covered in snow. Hiking through snow wasnt all that fun, but worthwhile getting to the top to the refugio. The lake at the top was still frozen, and there was some gorgeous views!
