Cerro Otto

Packed my bag with lunch and walked out of town, eventually found a path that headed towards the summit of Cerro Otto (relatively small at 1405m). Wound back and forth up the front of the mountains, with good views over Lago Nahuel Huapi towards Chile. Checked out the local military trying to practice their rock climbing skills, then called past the Alpine Club´s Refugio Berghof which was quite flash and even served up a cold beer for all the hikers heading to the top.
Made it to the summit to meet up with all the old tourists that came up on the gondola. Went to the revolving restaurant for a few revolutions. Some weird yank bought me a drink so he could tell me that he didn´t like Australians since his last Australian girlfriend was a nazi and didn´t put out.
I left the tourists and found a trail that headed below the summit of Cerro Otto towards Piedro de Habsburgo where I had lunch looking over Lago Gutierres. Made it down to the lake and then the search was on for a bus. Trekked for a few km´s to a supermarket in the middle of nowhere, and waited an hour with some old local guy for the bus back into town.
Staying at Ruca Hueney Hostel and hopefully getting a different room away from the obnoxious poms.
