3/1 We left San Martin by taking the paved road to Junin de los Andes. This is a real quaint town which appears to cater to retirees. It has several subdivisions with attractive small houses with rose bushes and trees throughout the town. It is also a haven for fishing buffs. The terrain swiftly changed to diverse rock formations which play on ones imagination. The road goes on for many kilometers with no sight of a town and just a few cattle ranches (estancias). We saw a two cowboys (gauchos) rounding up a herd of cattle and several horse running wild. Further along we stopped at Confluencia where the river Limay meets with the Rio Negro. This was like an oasis for us as we were running low on gas by then. This is Wayne signally that we made it safe otherwise we would have needed to flag down the occasional tour buses for help. Arriving back in Bariloche we turned in our car and retreated to the comforts of our hotel, the Design Suites. Wayne however returned to town to buy a needed supply of Bariloche´s famous Mamuscha chocolates.
