Day 32 – Bariloche

Steep streets

A day of window shopping (lots of St. Bernard soft toys (a local mascot!), mate paraphernalia, BariloCHE (as in Geuvara) t-shirts, knitted ponchos and snowstorms!), visiting the v. interesting Patagonia museum, drinking coffee and eating cake! Ironically, the day was sunny and calm. Decided to book a bus to the Valdes peninsular where we could watch the local wildlife and make the most of time off the bikes. There were no seats available on any buses the following day and only a few left on a bus the day after, so we booked quickly and selected seats on the lower deck at the back where we had a peaceful night on the previous bus trip. Amazingly, they were some of the last seats available.

Healing well.
