Wow...so much to update!!
After experiencing the amazing falls...which we still cant believe we boarded a lovely bus bound to Buenos Aries. Although not one of the longest bus journeys we have experienced it was fairly eventful. We were stopped on more than one occasion...about 7 by the Argentine police. We are still not sure what they were checking but they did ask us if Jo and I were friends, which we nearly sarcastically said no however choose the sensible option at 2.30am in the morning and just smiled and nodded! He had a gun. We also stopped at 11.15pm at a lovely restaurant for a 3 course meal....which was surreal. We didn't quite expect dinner to be dinner in a restaurant late at night. Most bus companies serve you food on the bus so you can expect our surprise when they woke us up for dinner!!
Anyway we did eventually arrive in the busy busy city of Buenos Aries. Here we found the hostel we booked full but successfully managed to manouvere our [which have got heavier...] bags to another hostel. We spent the days exploring the city. Namely visiting the Botanical gardens, Evita museum, Evita's grave and Jo's walking tour [we saw a big metal flower!] The highlight of BA for both of us was a tango show. This included an hours tango lesson, tango show, 3course meal and all the drinks you can drink!! We can now dance 3 tango moves!
Finally we have now arrived [after an even longer bus journey 22hrs] in Bariloche. The time the meal was on the bus and the staff very friendly to the 2 English girls going to Bariloche in the off season!! Also no police checks!
Bariloche has a very European ski village in the summer feel to it..although its the start of the winter, there isn't any snow yet so this is the off season. It is very pretty though with big lakes and mountains. We have booked onto a 1day trek tomorrow where we hike to a glacier and near the border of Chile and Argentina. We are very much looking forward to being out in the fresh air, especially after the smog of BA!
Ok essay update over!!
Hope all is well back in England
Charlie and Jo xx
