It is only after a couple of hours when we stop in the first small town after Perito Moreno that I realise that I’m the third Dub in a row, as the sleeping passengers have woken up and taken off their blankets to reveal two Dublin GAA jerseys. And probably more unusual than that, another of the passengers is wearing a St Sylvester’s GAA jersey (to the non-Irish – or even non-Malahide - readers of this blog this is the jersey of the football club in Malahide, meaning there is a fellow passenger from my home village). Unfortunately the hop-on hop-off nature of the bus means the other Irish are off before I have a chance to talk to them.
As we go close to Bariloche we did notice that the views became a bit blurred. A volcano in Chile had started spewing out ash again, and while it wasn’t a problem for tourists (unless they were flying in) it does ruin the views slightly. And it is a pity as our hostel turns out to be a nice lake front hostel with what could be stunning views. Tonight on arrival is the weekly beach party, so we just join in by having one beer before retiring exhausted.
