Fluffy rocking lakes

Friday 12 February 2012

So today we drove north of Bariloche to “the seven lakes drive”. We decided that we wouldn’t do all of it because that would just mean a long day of driving and bugger all seeing. So off we headed with a quick stop to pick up some bread for lunch along the way. We skirted one of the big lakes for a while before turning off the main highway onto a smaller road where we weren’t being run over by wankers in 4x4’s and could actually dawdle and have a look. The first stop was a pretty little lake with a rocky beach with what looked like a flat section where the tide went out (yes I knew it was a lake). Then we noticed some folk down the beach throwing things onto it and the beach was making a big plopping sound. Closer inspection showed that the flat beach was floating rocks. I like floating rocks.



For the rest of the day I found great joy in tossing rocks into the water and watching them float. Anyway after the first lake we cruised along stopping every now and then until we found a little spot on a tiny lake to ourselves, so we settled down there for a couple of hours with a picnic lunch, most peaceful. We dribbled onward.



The Lake District really is very pretty, but the roads are very dusty, so by the time we got home at 7:30 we were happy for a shower. Lovely day.

  1. That is the common dehydrated dog turf Inna glass that is. I'm a geologist, how many nuggets were you standing in on that lake? AQIS won't let you back in with one of them in your luggage.
