Another Passport Stamp - Argentina
We've met up with Harriet again and bused the 7 hours over to Bariloche which is in Argentina. The border crossing was a complete flaff and almost took more time than the journey. We arrived to the most spectacular sunset view as the sun dropped behind the mountains across the lake. Unfortunately from the bus we couldn't get any good snaps.
Bariloche is like being dropped into some Swiss village. You could even get your photo taken in the main square with one of the big St Bernard dogs. There's delicious chocolate every where too!



We took a great horse trek through the mountains. Nat was given the bucking bronco and was almost thrown a few times. She did really well though in "taming the beast". Jon's horse was a lot more placid and followed the trail superbly however the only credit goes to the horse that knew the trail like the back of its hoof.


Our plan from her was to head up to Mendoza and back in to Santiago, Chile. However we are here at the height of the summer and we heard through the grapevine that the next available bus is not until the 1st Feb so our plans change again. We took the same 7hour bus, through the same flaffy customs, and headed back into Orsorno Chile. Then from there we jumped straight onto a 12hour over-nighter up to Santiago. We took the 'Salon Cama' option which is one short of executive. The seats tilt back to 40degrees and are very comfortable so we got a good chunk of sleep.
