And then it was almost Christmas. So we took another bus on the 22nd December from Bariloche to San Martin de los Andes. It was a 4 hour bus journey further north along many more lovely lakes and a beautiful scenery. When we got to San Martin we were really happy to see it is a cute little town where we could enjoy a nice quiet Christmas together. Our airbnb flat also was just as we hoped, small and cute. And so we started baking, cooking and enjoying the sunshine inbetween. We had a wonderful Christmas time there! On Christmas day, we then decided to go for a short hike around the lakes. I baked a fresh bread in the morning, Mathias packed a Christmas dinner left-over picnic and off we went. I did not know then that Mathias had another surprise waiting for me… .
