We had a longer than expected drive to Bariloche in the lake district region of Argentina. Here are adventure sports galore. Some of the group have been white water rafting, horse riding, paragliding and on boat trips and hiking around the lake. I've had a couple of chill out days, deciding that I would do my rafting further north on the trip when the rivers are a bit more challenging to raft and the water is a lot warmer. The town is touristy but quite pretty and its been great to have WIFI- I've spent a lot of time in McDonalds!! We have had mild weather, which has been very welcome for lots of sitting around. As we have been camping lots recently we have been making meals using the truck kitchen and a few were missing the local Parilla's (basically a meat restaurant). Whilst in Bariloche we took advantage of the huge number of restaurants and went out for a group meal. It's amazing what you can get here, the steaks are huge. 400 grams is counted as small and most meals need to be shared. Some of the group decided that they would get meat platters which were about 4 times the meat you would need for a regular meal. As not really a steak eater I have been opting for sausage and chips which has been huge but a more manageable size. It's a wonder all the Argentinians don't die from heart attacks!! Next stop Pucon in Chile for New Year.
