Set off into a morning of clearing mist and decided to go the long way round the peninsular, just to appreciate the mountains one last time. The road was busy and we had a few close shaves with bus drivers who insisted on cutting us up at every other bus stop and cars almost brushing past us on the narrower sections. We arrived at Bariloche and booked into a hotel where they insisted we take their top floor penthouse suite overlooking the lake at a discounted rate. We advised we had bikes and they proceeded to remove a bed from the room so we could fit them in……even though we tried to persuade them we just wanted an ordinary room. The holiday season appears to end abruptly at the beginning of March and hotels are desperate to fill rooms.....even 2 scruffy cyclists with dirty bikes! There was a lot of space for all our stuff though and we relented especially as there was a great view of the mountains over the rooftops of the town centre.
