The whole bus was full of backpackers and everytime the bus pulled up to drop off or pick up people everybody on the bus got off. This was the first time this had happened the whole trip.
Luckily everyone had a good sense of humour and it made the very long bus ride more enjoyable.
When we finally arrived in Barilcohe we were all very glad to get off the bus. I pretty much did nothing that day even though it was a lovely day outside. I was too tired to do anything. Which was lucky as it was a public holiday for Bariloche´s birthday!

The drive took us all day, but was nice just to be out and about.
The weather was a bit overcast but we took some food with us and just enjoyed the scenery around the different lakes.
We stopped at a mirador, which is spanish for look out, and saw a beautiful waterfall.
At one stage we were driving down a dirt road when a giant cow stepped out from behind a bush and stopped right in front of the car. Luckily we were able to stop in time and didn´t hit the cow. I think the car would have come off second best. The cow then moved to the otherside of the road and just stood there looking at us. It was a bit spooky, but also very funny.
We drove a bit further and got out at one of the lakes.
Two of the girls being silly, one pretending to fish and catching the other one on her fishing line!!
We took some photo´s of the lake and surrounds when next thing another cow came charging onto the beach beside the lake. It was only about 4 or 5 metres away from us. It stood there and ate some leaves off a tree.
A few minutes later a whole group of cows ran onto the beach and knocked into the other cow. Then they went to the waters edge for a drink.
We were feeling out numbered by the cows so we quickly went back to the car and kept going.
At the next town we decided to stop and have some icecream, there were lots of different flavours and they were super bright colours. I had cookies and cream and chocolate... it was delicious.
Around the corner from the icecream store we found a funny sign that had holes for you to put your head in, so of course we took some pictures!
On our way back to Bariloche we found a long stretch of road that had no cars on it, everyone needed to go to the toilet but there wasn't one so we pulled up at the side of the road and went behind some bushes.... since there were no cars coming we decided to try and take some funny pictures in the middle of the road.
It was a very fun day out and a great way to see the country side in Bariloche.
