12/20: Why they are called rainforests


Travelín to (San Carlos de) Bariloche, ca. 400Km

While yesterday we couldn't see the snow-capped mountains because of clouds, today we couldn't either because of rain (and clowds). Since we postulated earlier on that the weather changes very quickly we are being put on a test. Today it almost rained constantly on our trip up North. At times heavily. We drove through P.N. de los Alerces, saw only some woods that ended in the clowds. We headed for some steam trains in El Maitén. It rained but once there we had to get out and take pictures...
Further up, still through forests – rainforests – it still rained, and it rained when we arrived in Bariloche. Weather forecast for tomorrow: rain.

Tonight we had a candle light dinner at a cosy place (much cosier than when the lights were back on) as there was a partial power outage. Now here is the greatest advantage of char coal grilled meat: it can still be done without electricity.
