Argentina is our 10th country on this trip, and having arrived a few hours ago, it seems quite European, and if Bariloché is anything to go by quite (over?)developed. That said the route into Argentina, and the town itself is quite beautiful. Bariloché sits on a lake on the other side of the Andes, and their snow capped peaks are clearly visible. It used to be THE place to go for skiing in Argentina but has suffered from newer trendier resorts opening up nearby. The guys at the border were friendly enough, and even wished us a good stay in Argentina...how time heals, the Falklands War was only 20 years ago.

After a cab into town from the bus station we struggled to find anywhere to stay until Lucy and Jen found a great little place that´s got the rugby channel in every room as well as en suite etc etc...bliss! (It´s even got fluffy white towels.) It´s cheap too as their peso crashed last year and is worth roughly half of what it used to be worth, the room´s cost us under a tenner a night...just off to try to sort the flight south to El Calefaté, we were thinking of doind some fishing but the season doesn´t start until Nov 1st so we´re going to miss out.
