Afternoon Tea?

We took a daytrip from Bariloche along the shore of Lake Nahuel Haupi to a place called Bahia Lopez. From here it was a pleasant 7km walk to Peurto Panuelos and our ultimate destination - 5* Hotel Llao Llao for afternoon tea. This place was amazing. So amazing in fact we thought there is no way we will be able to afford it. Once we had made it passed security (honestly) we were invited into the hotel. This place was plush in the extreme and talk about views. Perched on a hill it enjoyed spectacular views in every direction. But we didn´t come here for the views!! It was time to get down to business... gorging ourselves on the most exquisite cakes and pastries imaginable. Taking a 7km walk to get here was inspired. We started with a few dainty smolked salmon sandwiches followed by countless trips to the pastry table. The best part is that it was really good value. For about 15 euro per person you got all the food and all the tea´s, coffee´s, juices you could consume. You even got a glass of wine at the end to wash it all down. Incredible. We rolled onto the bus back to Bariloche.

A backpackers life, eh?!
