We eventually got underway after saying our goodbyes to Sam and Bernie. The weather was cloudy and so we did not see anything of Volcan Orsorno as we drove along its flanks.
The exit from Chile was a 5 minute non event, we just handed a few papers into the police (immigration) and then customs and we were on our way.
As we drove the 30-40km gap between the two customs stops the weather improved and we got some final views of Orsorno and some good views of the Argentine mountains to our east. The Argentine entry was also easy, no searching of the vehicle, and we were on our way.
The drive down to and along the northern shores of Lago Nahuel Huapi was pretty with the clear sky giving us good views of the lake and the surrounding mountains, especially of the sharp peaks that make up the Cerro Caterdral complex.
Camping
Camping Selva Negro about 2.7 kms west of Bariloche proper on the uphill (Southern) side of the road. Quite a narrow steep driveway, but plenty of turn-around room at the top. Good toilets and showers, electricity, wifi (near the bar), laundry service onsite.
On the way to the border today as we entered Entre Largos from the west we saw a sign advertising the sale of compulsory Argentine vehicle insurance. For those who have not already got it - check this out.
