Finally, on Sunday we got up and made a big plate of eggs before picking up our bikes. We headed out of town to what we had been warned was the worst part of the bike ride. They weren't joking. We alternated walking and wobbling while trying to shove our pedals down. The ground was well covered with ceniza in the hills and we used our scarves to cover our mouths. We quickly got hot and regretting our multiple layers (but later appreciated them on the way down in the evening).
The Wolf Pack
The trail evened out and it became colder the farther we went up the mountain. The trail wound around high above the lake Lanin. We went through a Mapuche village and found a great sunny lookout spot for lunch.
Yogurt, apples, oranges, bread, garlic, cheese (mozzarella), ham.
But we were soon shooed away by a herd of hungry goats and had to retreat quickly out of sight with our food.
Doing some yoga.
In the evening, we went to a nice restaurant so the boys could have some Argentinean steak. We had met one of the owners of the restaurant the night before and received a 15% discount and a bottle of champagne! The boys had steak while Jess and I shared some amazing squash ravioli with herb sauce and a yummy salad. We also had some Malbec wine of course!
The Wolf Pack goes classy
Wolf Pack 2011
We were all exhausted after dinner from the bike ride and good dinner. We headed home and the ceniza started falling like snow. After 10 min of trying to watch a movie, we all headed to bed. Monday morning we were up by 5am to catch our bus home. A great surprise were the leftover medialunas above the fridge that we grabbed for a quick breakfast. All went well on our ride home.
