Day 6 Bariloche

We had this one day in Bariloche and many riders took the time to do some washing and catch up with personal things.

We rode around a prepared route from JC, and particularly enjoyed the castle that was made famous by Hitlers henchmen, called Ya Ya but spelt Llau Llau about 20km to the south. We had coffee in the huge building and a tour.

It was built in 1938, burnt down 15 months later and rebuilt by the Argentinian Government but financed by the Nazis. On a hill-top it is truly spectacular. 

Our guide told us that her grandfather had met Hitler after WWII at "El Chaco" a local villa just nearby. Who knows the truth.
