Wow, I was just watching my statistics and am impressed by the number of people visiting my blog!

I´ve just come back from a holiday in my holiday to the lovely town of Bariloche. I had some time before Catherine comes and was just craving for some fresh air and some activity.

After a 23 hour (and very! comfortable) busride, I found al of that in a former swiss settlement somewhat south and west of Buenos Aires, close to the chilean border. The town itself is know for it´s swiss looks and also for the chocolateandmany outdoor activities. With my friend Lottie I went hiking and rafting and had a fantastic time doing all of that. The weather was gorgeous; we got lucky, because for many days before it had been cloudy and cold. The first day we did a short hike up one of the smaller mountains to warm up for the nest days. The next day we went rafting, that was super fun! Hadn´t done it before, but will do again! After two hours in therather cold glacierwater, but with fantastic views on the surroundings, we were transported back to basecamp where huge amounts of freshly barbecued meat awaited us. I think I ate a whole cow...

Next was a hike up Cerro Catedral, this time a serious one. It took us 4 hours to go up and 3 to get down. It was totally worth it! With the view changing and many different types of landscapes on the way, it was totally worth the exhaustion and sore muscles! Feeling very pleased with ourselves, we gladly returned to our hostel for some tea and an excellent view from our hostel. It being in the 10th floor of a building provided us with the stunning scenery of lake Nahuel Huapi and the mountains around it.

Very cool, am super happy I took this trip. Back in BsAs now, Catherine will arrive tomorrow. Gonna have fun here, but we´re already off to the south on the 16th! More south in Patagonia this time.

To put an image to these words, and to make you all very jealous (hehe) I finally managed to upload some pictures. Took me a friggin´ long time in this internetcafé, but here they are:
