Bus Ride - Bariloche to Buenos Aires - Thursday 24th February 2011


A 20 hour bus ride - most people's initial reaction would be "Oh No Way!"
However, buses in Argentina are incredible, and we decided to take the bus back to Buenos Aires rather than fly.



There are 3 classes of service - the main difference being how far back the seat goes - we bought the first class (where the seats go flat into a bed, have a TV screen, and drinks and meals are served).  We had the front 3 seats up top of a double decker.  Most of the highway was one lane each way which was a little daunting with the big wind sheild we looked out off, as the driver overtook every vehicle in sight! - the road seemed very narrow from up top (especially when a double decker was coming at you in the other direction!)


The scenery was spectacular.

We left 3pm.  Before long, Charlotte was busy, laying down with her teddy, watching a movie on the computer.

In In true Argentinian style, dinner was not served until 10pm!  A good nights sleep, breakfast and we were there by 11am.
