Got an early start, and since there was no one in the ‘restaurant’ attached to our hospedage, we rode on to the town of Entre Lagos again for coffee and breakfast.\u00a0 That turned out to be an expensive affair.<\/p>\n
From there it was a fast and beautiful ride through forested hill\/lake country to the border.\u00a0 Back into the Andes again, with spectacular scenery and snow covered peaks in the distance.\u00a0 At the border, we experience our fastest border crossing ever;\u00a0 only about 20 minutes total to leave Chile and enter Argentina!\u00a0 This is how it should be!<\/p>\n
The scenery get even better on the Argentine side of the border.\u00a0 Mountains, forests, and wonderful lakes everywhere.\u00a0 Good roads, too.\u00a0 We stop for lunch in the famous Agentine resort town of Bariloche, which is very pretty and very touristy and expensive.\u00a0 Great wine selection, and that, at least, is not too expensive!<\/p>\n
After Bariloche, we have a very hilly, windy road.\u00a0 We both have trouble with getting sleepy and falling asleep while riding.\u00a0 We stop for pictures and breaks, just to stay awake.\u00a0 We stop for the night in a tiny mountain town called El Bolson,\u00a0 which is filled with cabanas and campgrounds.\u00a0 It appears to be a major jump-off point for persons going into the many national parks in the area.\u00a0 We rent a tiny little cabin, called a ‘dormi’ in one of the campground facilities, and cook our dinner over an open fire.\u00a0 Wine and sausages, followed by more wine and Cuban cigars! I doesn’t get any better than that.\u00a0 It is cold, but lovely here, and again, it feels a lot like camping in northern Michigan or Ontario.\u00a0 Lots of other people camping here, too.\u00a0 A good day and a good night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
