Buenos Aires to San Carlos De Boriloche

An interesting start to the day, with a journey to try and get tickets for Creamfields in BA in 2 weekends time. A series of walks and subway journeys, only to find out the shop was closed for the day. Even after getting a local girl to confirm for me the shop was open, I still arrived to the shop closed. So, no tickets for the festival yet.
So, back to the hostel, picked up gear then got the bus to the city airport. Considerably closer than the International.

A 2 hour 25 flight and I was in Boriloche. Amazing vista of volcanoes on approach, not sure if they were in Argentina or Chile.

After a shuttle bus into town, only a short 400 meter walk to a hostel I picked from Lonely Planet. Luckily they had room, so settled in. Personality plus, with plenty of cool punters to mingle with. It’s right on the lake, surrounded by the mountains, gorgeous. A hot spot in winter during skiing, and all the normal summer activities that go with a ski resort during off season, hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, rafting, etc.

    I’ve got a serious case of Argentina and Parrilla envy I can taste it!

    My perfect world would be for South America to move about 4000kms further to the east, and if that means rolling over the top of NZ then thems the breaks!

    Live it large!
