Awoke on the bus to some beautiful scenery (lakes and mountains) ..... oh and to a sniffer dog checking our bags. Arrived in Bariloche early afternoon, local bus from the bus terminal and found a hostel. The view of the mountains on the other side of Nahuel Huapi was obscured by the ash in the air. Some people were wearing masks and there were piles of ash along the streets, the wind picking it up and planting ash in our faces - (Bariloche has been suffering for 6 months from a volcano that erupted 90km away in Chile). Wandered the streets (foolishly in flip flops - Bariloche is cold!), picked up some supplies including a bottle of Mendoza red and hid from the wind in the comfort of our hostel.
