Lago Nahuel Huapi

A more relaxing day today with a walk along the lake towards the West. No path so was slow going over the rocks on the foreshore. Found a supermarket that had a pile of raspberries that went down well for lunch. Checked out some chocolate shops in Bariloche, but will have to stock up for Easter.

By popular demand, some info about the local beveriges:
Argentina is now officially the place to go if you want to drink. Of course, like Chile it is another big wine region, with a good drop of red mandatory consumption with dinner. An cheap bottle goes for AR$2 (A$0.80). The beer is ok, but certainly nothing special. I think everyone just sticks to the wine. The spirits are surprisingly cheap. At the supermarket today they had 1L bottles of any spirit you can think of for AR$9 (under A$4) and that wasn´t the ones on special.
Drink up kids!

Hey Louis,

The spirits are about the same price as bottled water! Wish we knew how to do it like the Argentinians.
