We arrived to Bariloche from the Carretera (see previous post).
It is a huge change, arriving from the rural Carretera (and the not great food of Chile) to Bariloche.
Bariloche is place with great steaks, pasta, chocolates, and ice cream (see previous post for a steak picture, and what I ate for my birthday dinner).
Unfortunately we did not have great weather at the beginning of our stay in Bariloche. This made us travel less and focus our efforts on the important things as eating.
Trust me - eating a steak and then ice cream for dinner every day is not an easy task, especially not after having quit a bit of chocolate at 4pm as a mid-day snack (I had to switch to have some really good fish at one of the nights).
We still went to some short hikes and waterfalls in the area when the weather was decent.
Once the weather improved we did a 1 day hike in the near bye National Park (Nahuel Huapi). We could not do more since we wanted to be back in time for the Seder in Beit Habad in Bariloche.
The hike to the NP was great:
The next day we celebrated the Seder in Beit Habad. It was in a large hall and here were over 500 people. Though I have to say overall the atmosphere was dissapointing (and after the first part of the Hagada most of the people went home and only very few stayed).
From here we went on a trek called Banos de Caulle which will be in the next post.
But it is undecided whether I will come back to Bariloche, either in the next couple of weeks (to try and see some more of its surroundings, and have some more great food), or return later for the ski season (there is a very good ski resort close to Bariloche), or not return at all.. time will tell...
