Today we cross the Andes for the 3rd and final time, entering Argentina in the mountains.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

The bikes and luggage are already in our final destination, Bariloche. We now are riding mountain bikes and just bare essentials in a backpack.<\/p>\n

Today we rode 500 metres and climbed 60 ft….whoa!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our journey across the mountains will be by boat and dirt roads. Today was by boat on Lago Todos, a 2 hour trip, then had the massive mountain bike ride as described. But not to worry, tomorrow\u2019s final ride will be challenging!<\/p>\n

A steady drizzle began shortly after boarding the ferry and followed us to our destination at Puella. The weather curtailed activities like hiking and horseback riding, so the became a relaxing and lazy day. Some alcohol was involved with some of the group, a long nap for others. Probably was best to rest after yesterday\u2019s assault on Orsono.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

But it was another unique day cruising through the mountains, reminiscent of sailing in Milford and Dusky Sounds in New Zealand<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Hotel was nice with a cool view of the mountains<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0The bar was made from a fallen tree…<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Good night from Puella Chile….tomorrow Argentina<\/p>\n
