Day 36 - Public transport finally mastered?

San Carlos de Bariloche

Today we finally managed to get to Cerro Castillo, known as the ski capital of South America. Waiting for the same bus as us was a fellow Australian from our Antarctic trip - an interesting but fairly common coincidence it seems.

From the ski town at the base of the mountain we caught a cable car then a chairlift as far as we could go, then wandered around and did some short walks from there. It was a great view from the top though the mountain up this high was mainly all rocks, it would have looked so amazing covered with snow.

No, we won't get sick of these views

For some reason the bus back to Bariloche didn't turn up as expected, so our hourly bus had turned into a two hourly one, making it a long afternoon as most of the ski town was closed - just a couple of shops and cafes. Just when we thought we had the public transport system sussed it made fools of us again!
