Barrioloche!!!


So day two in Barioloche!!! Here is a quick recap of day one:
  • 8:45am - Picked up at the Hotel and driven to local Airport. A lot nicer and bigger than I thought.
  • 10:45 - On a plane to Barioloche. Slept the first hour. Sandwich the second. Awesome view out of the window
  • 1:00 ish - Off the plane, claim the luggage...Walk out and see a guy holding a sign that says SHIFFLER. Met our tour guide Lucia who speaks beautiful english and our driver Juan Carlos. Outside was AMAZING. I dont know what I was expecting but this was MUUUUCH better. A huge beautiful lake, mountains, some snowcapped. Pretty much the most beautiful day ever. Pics to come. Then we drove in the car the long way to the hotel. Checked out a lot of cool overlooks and got out to take pics. Also we went to a chair lift thing that was like 7 minutes to the top of this peak. At the top we had an amazing view of the whole city and lake Nahua Huapi and all. Again, you have to see pictures. And really pictures can't even do it justice. It was breathtaking...literally.
  • 4:00 - Arrived at the Llao Llao hotel. (Pronounced Shauw Shauw) Umm so it is entirely the most beautiful, nicest, places ive ever been to EVER! So fancy but also really laid back. Made of wood and almost feels like Switzerland with the architecture. Big fireplaces like an awesome cabin. Again well leave it to pics to describe it. We went and checked out the hotel, the pool, and of course the spa.
  • Back up to the room, swimsuits, hot tub, outdoor heated infinity pool. So pretty much amazing. Shower. Happy hour by the fireplace.
  • Dinner...Getting dad to appreciate Malbec wine...All of you out there in the US should try it...soooo good! Dad and I tried Fondu. It was so fun! I can cross that off my list of things to do someday. They had cut up hot dogs, bread, apples, and potato things that we could dip in the cheese. It was fun and reallly really delicious. Then off to bed.

As for the rest...I am going to wait till tonight to write about today. Lets just say...horseback riding in the Andes...increible!!!! But I am def going to have a soar bum tomorrow!
