Bariloche is Chocolate!
...B is for Bariloche and C is for chocolate!

The border crossing between Chile and Argentina was both straightforward and very beautiful. Having completed formalities in Chile the bus took us through the Andes which were snow covered and glorious. Everyone had their noses pressed against the windows looking at all the snow and lovely mountains.
Bariloche, and Argentina lived up to our expectations immediately! We found a lovely hostel and our room was like a cosy log cabin which was lucky as it was absolutely freezing outside. We were quick to indulge in our first 'parilla' - Argentine grill and it was amazing. Lots and lots of meat, fresh off of the grill. Lots of it! Bariloche also provided us with a big choice of chocolate shops. We quickly picked a favourite, which also had a beautiful patisserie section and made sure we took full advantage of it - you never know when you will come across something so delicious again!

After a couple of days of indulgence we realised we should perhaps do something more than hide out in the warm hostel so we hired a couple of bikes. Not put off by being told we had picked the coldest day of the year, we tucked our woolly hats under our bike helmets and off we went. Despite the fact it started snowing part way through we had a fun afternoon, cold, very cold but fun!
Sausage sandwich and a stunning view....thank you very much!
