On arriving in Bariloche I found it hard to not be slightly surprised by the wooden chalets and vast lakes. When I envisedged my time in S. America, this was not a backdrop I had prepared for. However after only a couple of days I was in awe of my surroundings.

Sat on the pebble shore attempting to skim stones I felt peaceful and relaxed and the Patagonia museum taught me about my surroundings. A steep but pleasant trek up mount Llao Llao Provided an amazing view and Gemma and I sat looking at the landscape contemplating life.
Back in town we treated ourselves at one of the many chocolate shops. Apart from its scenery this is another aspect to bariloche's tourism draw. There are chocolate shops on every corner which sell by far the best chocolate I have ever tasted. Gemma vowed to retire and get extremely fat there while I promised to visit her on weekends.
