Except for the loud Argentine music that started up as soon as I returned to the tent last night and the thin tent walls that don't keep sound out we had a good nights sleep. Gareth was feeling better and we had a leisurely rise being in no hurry today. We had plenty of time to eat breakfast and pack away the tent for the last time in the sun, which was out again today!
We decided to take the longer route back to Bariloche via 'circuito chico' (small circuit) a recommended road route for cyclists around the Llao llao peninsula with good views. We both had tired legs but enjoyed the days cycle around the peninsula with views across this side of Lago Nahuel Huapi.There were a few random tourist attractions on the circuit which were mainly closed for the season but we managed a quick photo stop at the dinosaur park!
On the northern side of the peninsula we passed through the tiny port of Puerto Panuelo, where we'd boarded the ferry about 3 months ago to cross into Chile for the first time. It really felt like we'd done full circle. We then only had about 20km to cycle back to Bariloche and another 'full circle' feel. We stocked up at one of the best panadarias we'd been to on route with tasty bread, croissants and other pastries before finding our hostel which we'd booked into for the next 3 nights. They were incredibly friendly and we soon had our bikes unloaded and locked away, a double room to ourselves and dinner cooked in the kitchen by Gareth.
