Bariloche

To all you wonderful people:
We are in Bariloche which is technically in Patagonia, so eventhough we thought we would not be seeing the region... we did!
Our first night here was a little rough. We got in at midnight and went searching for a hostel and ran into the problem of being the last to arrive during high-season. We walked around door to door for about 2 hours until finally finding a hotel that had rooms available and was not mad expensive. The next day we had luck and found a hostel in the morning and we already had reservations for Monday and Tuesday.
Bariloche is quite a bit larger than lonely planet led on. I imagine it´s similar to Aspen except on a lake. The main attraction is centered around outdoor activities. There is this one hill called Campinario which has one of the Top 10 views in the world according to National Geographic. There is also a popular bike circuit that has many beautiful viewpoints! We conquered both activities eventhough we lost one day to nasty weather.
Tomorrow, we are taking a loooong bus ride to Mendoza which is popular for it´s vineyards!
Ciao for now!
