37th day: Esquel to Bariloche (May 17, 2019)

شايع ٿيل: 17.05.2019

It is raining as we have breakfast. The sun is shining as we leave Esquel on Ruta 40 at around ten o'clock. The result is snow-covered Andean peaks and a double rainbow that accompanies us for a long time.

Gradually, we leave the mostly desolate area and enter a wooded region through a series of switchbacks. There, we make a stop at a mini-restaurant by the roadside and eat an empanada.

We reach Bariloche under the best sunny weather. But almost immediately, everything turns into a roaring rain landscape that doesn't feel particularly romantic in the hotel located directly by the lake. The desire to leave the hotel for another excursion diminishes more and more.

But since once again in Argentina our credit cards fail (this time at the hotel, previously at the bank ATMs and gas stations), a quick currency exchange needs to be made in the city center. So, we get into the traffic jam and stress (the hotel is located quite far on the outskirts), search for parking and exchange the last remaining euros.

Now, nothing else can happen.
