Yes, freedom at last. Nothing compares to a road trip; and as much as we have grown to love crowded, swaying, cheese smelling buses, the last 2 days have been blissful in our own rental VW.We got the sweet ride in Bariloche, traveled to the ski resort above the town of Bariloche (it closed for season the day before) and then around Lake Nahuel Huapi to a small town on the opposite side of the lake called Villa La Angostura. It was so tranquel there, a small ski town, but this is definately where the wealthy settle down. The lake front houses look out across the glacial lakes and amazing Nahuel Huapi National Park.
The views of the Andes from all angles of this town were breathtaking. The pictures will never do justice (I know I´ve said this before).
From this town, we hiked 7-8 miles to the end of a penninsula where the Los Arraynes National Park is. It is a very small park which protects a rare forest of trees (arraynes) that are only found in a few places on earth. 
They are really beautiful and have no outer bark to protect them. It was nice because the only way to reach the park is by hiking in 7 miles or by boat (really expensive, but we took it back one-way to save time).

It was a nice car trip out here with our music, space and no other people reclining all the way back in the seats in front of us. To bad the budget doesn´t allow a car rental in every place we go, because that is the way to really see the land.
