From Mendoza to The Lake District



We made it to Mendoza for the Wine Harvesting Festival. Rented bicycles and cycled a total of 25km around the wineries and olive plantations. A lovely afternoon.


After going our separate ways in Costa Rica, we finally were able to meet up with our Dutch friends in Bariloche. 5 of us rented a Volkswagen and explored the 7 lakes in the region and the surrounding towns of St. Martin and El Bolson.

El Bolson

By the lake in Bariloche - charming town with excellent chocolates!

Hippie market in El Bolson.. lots of glass-blown stuff, handicrafts, organic fruit and veggies, hand made jewelry...

The meat in Argentina is unbeatable. BBQ of lamb, bife de lomo, chorizo, grilled peppers, aubergines and zuchini.
