Alone again for the last two weeks...
Welcome in Switzerland! Bariloche looks like a place in the alps: blue lake, fantastic mountain scenery and houses built in chalet style.
After these indulging weeks, we desperately had to exercise. The lakeside seemed to be perfect for a bike tour...
...seemed! One part of our team enjoyed this "warm-up", the other part struggled a bit!
Der Lichtblick! In der Colonia Suisa - von Schweizer Einwandern gegründet - gabs eine riesige Glace! Es lebe die Schweiz!
Light after the tunnel! In the Colonia Suisa - founded by some early Swiss colonists - we had a huge icecream! Viva la Suiza!
Auch am 2. Tag war Action angesagt: wir buchten einen 2tägigen kombinierten Reit-Rafting-Trip. Es war eine Tour der Superlativen...
The following day, we booked with eXtremo Sur Tours a combined horseriding-rafting tour. What an incredible tour...
...wilde horses only to be riden by tough gauchos...
... eine unglaubliche Landschaft...
... a fantastic scenery...
... and in the evening a log fire in a romantic hut.
Am nächsten Tag wurden die Reitstiefel gegen das Bikini ausgetauscht. Wir erlebten eine fantastische Bootsfahrt der Chilenischen Grenze entlang.
Instead of the horseriding boots, we changed to the swimming dress and had a fantastic boat tour, along the Chilean border.
In the evening, we toasted with the cool Dutch couple Marnie & Ewout to a unforgettable trip!
3 days of sport is enough. The forth day we tanned our sore ass at the lakeside of Lago Nahuel Huapi.
Our next destination San Martin de los Andes was only ment to be starting point to the Chilean vulcano Pucon. But the time was scarce and the asses still sore...
...und so tauchten wir wieder ins geniesserische Leben ein. Im schönen Mendoza gönnten wir uns fantastische Abendessen mit excellentem Wein.
...so we dipped back into the indulging life. In beautiful Mendoza. we spoilt ourselves with fantastic dinners and excellent wine.
Of course we went on a winery tour and learnt a lot about wine making. But, between us: the best Argentinian wine we had was from Patagonia: A Lisa!!!
Our last destination before Buenos Aires was the student town Cordoba.
Bevor wir uns ins berauschende Nachtleben stürzten (z.b. La Osa), machten wir, was alle Touristen machen: eine City Bus Tour durch die pittoreske Stadt. Ok, ganz nett, aber eben nicht Buenos Aires.
Before we dipped into night life (fantastic, for instance La Osa), we did what all tourists do: we curved around with a city tour bus. Nice, but of course nothing compared to Buenos Aires.
Wir - zumindest ein Teil von uns - konnten es kaum erwarten, in Buenos Aires die Läden leer zu kaufen.
We - at least part of us - couldn't wait to buy the shops empty in Buenos Aires.
