| Looking towards the city of San Carlos de
Bariloche. This picture was taken just after we arrived for the Christmas
weekend, 1995. It was the strangest sight: We flew from Buenos Aires right
across Argentina, towards the South American Andes. The country looks a
lot like the Orange Free State and Karoo (areas in South Africa), with
dirt roads running straight as arrows all over the countryside. The suddenly
you start seeing pointy hills and mountains, some of them with snow on
their tops. The airport where we landed (that is a story in itself! LOL)
is in a dry area, but within 15 minutes of driving you are surrounded by
lush green forests and the beautiful lake. Rainfall changes from something
like 15mm per year to 2000mm per year in less than 70km!
