Nxt morning Esquel & after talking to Tourist information went to Trevelin. Its meant to be a village settled by the Welsh so is meant to be Welsh looking (not sure if I know what that means) but apart from alot of Tea Shops it looked like Argentina to me In fact Patagonia seems to have a lot of Tea shops. Strange.
Next hitching to El Bolson. Managed to get dropped off a pretty bad location and I was sure we weren´t going to get a nother lift for the day but Mariana again proved me wrong we a lift off the Tax Man of the area! They seem to like to drive at 130-140km/hr in Argentina so we soon caught up with time.
El Bolson was really nice and a glimpse at what Patagonia (the area we had been all this time) can really be like. We managed to trick the supermarket security people to look after our heavy bags as the tourist information didn´t want to look after them. So we claimed that we were going shopping. You can imagine the secuirty officer must have thought we has either got lost or really like the shop as we turned up again to pick up our bags 4 hours later after sneaking out of the store!
The mountains round El Bolson amazingly resemble the Remarkables in Queenstown (if you know them)
Next off to Bariloche by another hitch from plumber at night to arrive at Andrea, a friend of Mariana´s and our 1st taste of home life for almost 3 weeks! ......
