In January 2013, they left Europe with one-way tickets to Buenos Aires to start their indefinite adventure together. Hopefully, they won&#8217;t end up killing each other. Please enjoy this week-in-the-life of Sam and Zab in Chile and Argentina.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: This post was originally published in 2013, and has since been updated for accuracy of links.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 \u2013 Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>7:30AM<\/b>: Zab comes in from his roll-out mattress on the floor in the living room to the small spare room where I\u2019m sleeping to wake me up. I wave him away, but open my eyes, begrudgingly. The sun is just coming up over the misty river in\u2026where are we? Oh yes, Valdivia, southern Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get up, dress, and put a piece of fruit in my mouth before our Couchsurfing host, Ana who speaks no English, gets up to say goodbye to us. We hug, I thank her for her hospitality, and Zab uses his few words of Spanish to express his gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-creative-guide-to-free-or-cheap-accommodation\/\">The Creative Guide to Free\/Cheap Accommodation, including Couchsurfing<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>9:00AM<\/b>: We\u2019re happily reclining on the comfortable bus, pulling out of Valdivia and heading for the Argentine border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first couple of hours of scenery remind me a lot of southern England, with rolling hills and fields of cows, but once we start to approach the border, it becomes a much more dramatic, volcanic, forested landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of the border, it feels like a different world: beautifully rugged steppe surrounding a shimmering blue lake so long it could be a fjord out to the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>4:00PM<\/b>: Arriving in Bariloche, our first task is to check at the train station whether there are tickets on the next train to Viedma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, this is an easy task as the train station is adjacent to the bus terminal. Unluckily, there are no tickets left. We then walk to our recently opened guest house, are welcomed by and have a lovely chat with the owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>7:00PM<\/b>: Fully aware that we are extremely early for dinner by Argentina standards, we follow a recommendation from our guesthouse owner for a vegetarian place on the other side of town. We have the place to ourselves, and are pleasantly surprised by the inventive, tasty food that is so much more pleasing than much of what we\u2019ve been eating in Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/emptyvegetarianrestaurant.jpg\" alt=\"Empty Vegetarian Restaurant in Chile\" class=\"wp-image-5276\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><b>11:00PM<\/b>: After a slow walk back from dinner and another chat with the owners of our guesthouse, it\u2019s time for bed. It\u2019s been a long day.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 2 \u2013 Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>9:00AM<\/b>: We wake up, look at the overcast skies and check the weather forecast. Rain is due, so we make the decision to spend the day indoors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/location-independent\/\">catching up on work<\/a> we\u2019ve neglected over the last couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/moodysky.jpg\" alt=\"A moody sky and rocky beach with mountains in the background\" class=\"wp-image-5277\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 3 \u2013 Saturday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>9:00AM<\/b>: I wake up to find Zab no longer in the room with me. Turns out he\u2019s been trying this thing called \u2018getting up early and starting work\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grumble past him and go down for breakfast. He follows me, and afterwards, I pick up my laptop and join him for a few hours of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>12:30PM<\/b>: Suddenly hungry, I demand that we get some lunch. We rush around town, trying to find something suitable (I become both picky and somewhat unreasonable when hungry).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we settle on pizza, and consume a huge and cheesy one, which is neither pleasant nor unpleasant. On our way back home for a nap, we grab some supplies from the supermarket for tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>4.30PM<\/b>: After more work, its Zab\u2019s turn to get bossy, and he decides that we need to go out for coffee and cake. At the coffee, I roll my eyes, but at the mention of cake I am quickly swayed. We dutifully gobble up one of Bariloche\u2019s delicious cake creations and pretend to do some more work from our mobile devices in the caf\u00e9.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 4 \u2013 Sunday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>8:30AM<\/b>: My attempt at early breakfast is followed by a long chat with our guesthouse owners, before we are finally ready to head out for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a little trouble buying bus tickets (it\u2019s a Sunday in a small Argentine city after all), but eventually make our way out of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>11:30AM<\/b>: Picking up our pre-reserved bicycles is easier and quicker than I expect (\u201chere\u2019s the bike, the helmet, please sign here so you can\u2019t sue us\u201d) and we\u2019re off on the circuito chico, a 16km route around Lago Perito Moreno, a small lake joined to Lago Nahuel Huapi, Bariloche\u2019s main lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We pass through pine forest, huge grey mountains and crystal blue waters; the scenery and weather are glorious and we are reminded why we travel. Also, we bump in to a German couple doing the same route who take pictures of us, and we take ones of them.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/circuitochicosamandzab.jpg\" alt=\"Sam and Zab hiking on the Circuito Chico\" class=\"wp-image-5275\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><b>2:00PM<\/b>: For lunch, we stop at an almost tropical looking beach on the coast of Lake Nahual Huapi and eat the empanadas we brought from town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I nap lying down on the stony beach, and Zab listens to music while taking in the scenery. Then we press on, and complete the loop back to where we started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>5:00PM<\/b>: We take the recommended chairlift up to Cerro Campanario for the amazing views over the lake, its islands, and the surrounding countryside. Zab proclaims that it is one of the best viewpoints of the kind he has ever visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we enjoy the views along with some well-earned cake. We agree that it is perhaps one of our most memorable days of this trip so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way back to town, we share the bus ride with the German couple whose paths we\u2019d been crossing all day. We make plans to meet again tomorrow.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 5 \u2013 Monday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>9:00AM<\/b>: I\u2019m up for breakfast at the time Zab is finishing his first round of work. We continue together for a few hours, interrupted only by the guesthouse\u2019s cat that wants to play with us.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/catwantstoplay.jpg\" alt=\"Working at a laptop with a cat trying to interrupt\" class=\"wp-image-5274\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><b>1:20PM<\/b>: We dash to the appointed place for lunch to meet our new German friends, hopeful that our tardiness will not be overly conspicuous. Of course, they\u2019ve already been there for half an hour, but are graciously unperturbed by the 20 minute wait for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We proceed to have pleasant and interesting conversations then decide to spend the rest of the afternoon together, which naturally means coffee and cake at one of Bariloche\u2019s famous chocolate-shop-cum-caf\u00e9s.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 6 \u2013 Tuesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>9:00AM<\/b>: Breakfast. Smug Zab. The usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>11:00AM<\/b>: We take the bus out towards the circuito chico again, and try to find a place for lunch recommended to us. Unfortunately, in classic Argentine style, it is closed without notice. Fortunately, there is another place just down the road with nice food and great views over the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>3:00PM<\/b>: Heading along the road towards the lake, we stop at a small beach and wander around for a while, enjoying the quiet of a midweek afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decide to rent a two person kayak and go out on to the water. This mostly involves Zab sitting at the back doing the paddling, while I lounge in the front and take pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we start paddling together, we build up to quite an impressive speed and the act of synchronized paddling induces a kind of zen-like meditative state, with no distractions other than the soothing splash of oar on water.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/zabwithkayak.jpg\" alt=\"Kayaking in Argentina, with Sam and Zab of Indefinite Adventure\" class=\"wp-image-5279\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><b>5:00PM<\/b>: We hurry back to the bus stop from the lake just as the skies open above us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ride the crowded bus back to town in the storm, and then duck straight in to a caf\u00e9 to warm up. Zab feels especially silly sitting in his still-damp swimming shorts while the rain comes down outside.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 7 \u2013 Wednesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>8:00AM<\/b>: I crack open one eye to see that the storm outside hasn\u2019t abated much. Zab is, of course, already working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>9:30AM<\/b>: I finally get up for breakfast and we decide that today will be a work day. Also, travel plans must be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>1:30PM<\/b>: Finishing up a piece of writing, I dash out round the corner in a brief pause in the rain to grab some empanadas and a prepared salad for lunch, which we gobble up quickly then go back to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>5:00PM<\/b>: Zab insists on a caf\u00e9 outing. I can\u2019t find a reason to resist, so we wrap up against the wind and head out, hoping that tomorrow the weather will be better.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Sam and Zab are currently finishing up six weeks in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/lima-2-days-5-ceviche-meals\/\">Lima<\/a>, before heading to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/introduction-cuenca-ecuador\/\">Ecuador<\/a> for two months, then back to Europe &#8211; all with no end in sight to their adventure.
