Bariloche etc..




Um, in my excitement of writting up Tren Patagonia, and the whole Whales and Welsh thing I forgot to put anything about Bariloche, where I was hanging out for 2 weeks. So, to right this wrong, so to speak, enclosed are a couple of pictures of my time there, which was mostly spent skiing, or waiting to ski if the weather wasn´t too good. However, did also manage to fit in the biggest steak so far ( half a kilo for the record and yes, I did eat it all!)- guess it must of been all the fresh air and exercise with the skiing... And, yes, there was a big lake, seen here from the top of the mountain, and also close up with mountains behind.

Puerto Madryn
















Spent slightly longer in Puerto Madryn than I first planned, as got a bit ill, but did get around to eyeing up Southern Right Whales close up (below), and having Welsh tea (a must in this part of Patagonia where the Welsh have been around for while...).

Hope the pictures give an idea of what these exciting activities were like and sorry that the Welsh tea is the wrong way up, but need to find out how to rotate in blogger somehow (though did feel a bit peeky after all that stoge to be honest..)..
