After our unplanned, uncomfortable and unforgettable 20hr bus ride West across Argentina, we spent a couple days in San Carlos de Bariloche. Most of the time we were on the phone with the airlines, banks and U.S. Embassy (Melissa needed to replace the stolen passport) trying to resolve the stolen purse issue. We slowly filtered everything out. Then, realizing that we would need to head back to the Embassy in Buenas Aires before being able to enter Chile on the next leg of our trip, we decided to get out and see the sights:
- we rented a car and drove the Circuito Chico around a peninsula on the edge of Nahuel Huapi Lake
- visited the lavish Lalo Lalo Hotel
- stopped for a small hike to an ancient roman stone bridge
- found a great little roadside cafe called Punto Panoramico for some delicious empanadas and microbrew
- amazing steak and wine dinner (again) at El Patacon "Restaurante Argentino", right next to our hotel
- explored one of the biggest ski areas in South America, Catedral Ski Resort, by gondola and chairlift
- visited the shops downtown and made a stop at the police department to get an official report on the stolen purse (no one spoke English, so that was an adventure in itself!)
