1-11 through 1-17-10: We finally left our cozy hostel in Mendoza on 1-13-09. We took the 8 p.m. bus out of the terminal and arrived in Bariloche at 2 p.m. on 1-14-09. We were in a double decker bus with semi-reclining seats which made the long ride fairly comfortable. We found lodging at the MiraLago; separate apartments overlooking Lago Nahuel Huapi. We stayed 3 nights and walked down to the lake’s edge a couple evenings. The water was glacier melt cold but the kids waded into it anyway. We secured a rental car on 1-16 (it was difficult to get one earlier due to it being high tourist season). Shortly before picking it up, we rode the teleferico (gondola) to the top of Cerro Otto. The views were beautiful; mountains and lakes all around. On 1-17, we rode to Llao Llao Park for a short hike then returned to the Bariloche outskirts to camp at a campground for the night. We were camped beside the Brazo Campanario which is an inlet of Lago Nahuel Huapi which is huge (560 sq km and a max depth of 454 m)!
