In Villa la Angostura we decided we would make tent-errection a competition. Craig went first and completed with a time of 12minutes 17seconds.
On our first day here we set up, swam and cooked our first bbq. Cam doesn´t seem to have photos of that but Craig does so maybe I´ll see if I can connect his camera up. It was pretty sweet. Our second day we just roamed the town. This is where the tooting baby was locked in the car.
On our third day we visited the nation park of Villa la Angostura. We read in our lonely planet guides that it was quite popular to ferry out to some point and mountain bike back along the path or vice versa. We thought this would be a good idea. This is us pumped up on our hired bikes.
In Argentina helmets are for handlebars.
Turns out mountain biking along that path was harder than expected. Harder than I expected anyway. Who would have guessed it wasn´t going to paved? And that atleast half of it was up hill? Cam and Craig tell me this is what mountain biking is, I just wish they´d mentioned this earlier.
This is us near the end, I had to physically carry my bike at some stages of the track so was way too sweaty for nice pictures.
We originally looked into biking the seven lakes route as our trusted lonely planet friends recommended we do only we couldn´t take bikes from Villa la Angostura and drop them off in San Martin (I think about 200kms away) so we bought bus tickets. Thank god. Turns out the road is nearly as bad as that national park path for nearly the whole first 100kms.
Next stop was Villa Traful.

Hey guys
soulds like you are having awesome fun with the tent erection process. Hope you guys are still gr8 m8s and will continue to be so. i moved into a new flat which has a deck and grass. i suggest you stop cycling and take up longboarding on sweet planks with the beatles "help!" painted on the underside, as i sure am even with a few "spills" along the way. have fun and continue to eat meats and drink whole litors of beer.

This looks almost as good as Totaranui - but not quite. Our tent erection took a bit longer than yours Craig, but we can fit more people, beer, food and chairs in when it rains.
We're looking forward to the next competition - barrel over Foz do Iguasu (No, don't).
Love
Ian & Ruth
