Well hello and Feliz Navidad to you all!
We are spending our Christmas here in Bariloche, Argentina which is just over the border from Chile in the Argentinian Lake District.
Since we last updated we have climbed an active volcano (and slid back down again on our backsides - deliberately), been on a mammoth bike ride to a blue lagoon (where Kathy fell off her bike and grazed her hands and knees, much like an 8-year old child) and spent more time on buses than is healthy!
Still loving it out here and currently enjoying chilling out in Bariloche, a wonderful Swiss style ski resort where we have a fantastic apartment. It´s pretty touristy, but that´s good for us right now as we need to catch up with chores like washing etc - you can´t escape it even over here!
Lots of wonderful chocolate shops as well, so we´ve really gorged ourselves.
We´ve been trying to get into the Christmas spirit, although it´s very hard in this heat! We bought a little Christmas tree and 5GBP worth of presents for each other to get into the spirit of things, and we even managed to cook a traditional Christmas dinner yesterday - alright, the gravy wasn´t up to much but the rest of it was delicious!
Preparing for our 17 day tour to Patagonia next week, which should be interesting - Torres del Paine, Moreno glacier, Fitzroy Massif and Tierra del Fuego - no time for relaxing!! Speed tourism at its best!
Hope you are all well and enjoying Christmas!
Saludos
Russ and Kathy Brown
