High Tea in Bariloche






So we changed our minds and didn't end up skiing today, instead went out exploring around the town, found our 2nd hostel, get settled again, rent a car and go for a drive. We head out looking for former Nazi strongholds - this is Jen's latest interest and there was a lot going on here in the 30's. We end up at this hotel, Llao Llao, it's super fancy on the end of the Lake, just too bad that it's overcast and we can't see the famous views. It's still real pretty out here, the forests are amazing, you just want to go up and pet the trees. We check out the hotel, the door guys weren't too sure about us and were following us around, it's pretty nice and super rich. Jen finds out that they are doing high afternoon tea and for 60 pesos we can partake in the smorgasboard buffet of treats. We sit down with our ski bum gear only feeling slightly out of place and order some fancy teas. Then it's on to the selection of treats and finger sandwiches. The food is awesome!!! These amazing torts, cheesecake, strudel, muffins, cake like things, it was hard to choose. We each do a couple of rounds and overdose on sugar, chill and enjoy great tea while looking over the bay. I have to say it was worth it, I'm glad we stopped.
