Fishing in Hansel and Gretel land

Persuaded Marilyn that we should spend a full day (13 hours) on a very expensive fly fishing trip. Just the two of us and an expert fishing guide. The trick was to provisionally arrange hire of bikes and a tent for a 60KM trip - she jumped at the fishing alternative.

Of course fly fishing is a gentleman´s sport and it is important to look cool at all times.

Bariloche is in the heart of the Argentinian lake district, northern Patagonia, surrounded by lakes, snow capped mountains and forests.  All very, very beautiful. Bareloche itself is touristy packed with holiday making Argentinians. As well as the usual bars, cafes and resturatents there are masses of chocolate shops, some like cathedrals.

Then get lost on the way down so we end up on the wrong side of the mountain and have to walk all the way back up and down the other side. Then taking a short cut through a pine forest down the dustiest tracks imagainable that blow great clouds of dirt everytime you take a step. Took 5 hours to get back to civilisation.
