Tony Wheeler was born to travel. His father served in an airline. For the first 16 years of his life, Tony and his family lived in many different countries.
In the early 1970s, Tony met Maureen. They soon married. Before getting jobs, Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a one yearlong trip from England, through Asia, to Australia. On the trip, they visited places like Iran, India and so on.
When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia, people asked many questions about their trip. To answer these questions, Tony wrote a book called Across Asia on the Cheap. The book told people about different countries' weather, customs and places to see. But unlike other travel books then, Tony's book also talked about places most tourists did not go. He also wrote about unique things to see and do. The book was very popular.
Tony and Maureen started a company called Lonely Planet, They continued travelling. They wrote books for each place they visited. Today, about 800 people work for Lonely Planet. The company has over 650 books. Tony, the great traveler, still writes about travels to many places and will bring us more surprises.
Bariloche is a city in the province called Rio Negro. This city brings me a lot of memories because I went there for my graduation trip from high school. We left in the first week of September. We were a group of 50 students and it was the best trip ever.
We visited different places such as Isla Victoria which you can reach by boat, sailing（航行）through the Nahuel Huapi Lake. This is a very calm place and worth visiting. We went as well to the Cerro Viejo which has a beautiful restaurant on the top from where you can enjoy seeing the whole city. We went skiing to Cerro Catedral four days out of ten and it was a great experience.
We visited the Llao Llao Hotel that is pretty different from other hotels. It is in the middle of a group of mountains and it seems as if we were watching a postcard. From there, we went to a farm where we did some horse riding, and we played some games which made us wet and dirty. Finally, some of us went fishing and the rest walked through the forest. We spent that night there camping and the next morning we went on a bus to Cerro Tronador, the highest mountain in the whole area. It is 3, 470 metres tall and there we visited forests and lakes. During our last day in Bariloche, we went shopping and they offered us all kinds of things. We bought things such as handmade clothes and shoes. We also visited a chocolate factory and watched the whole process（过程）of producing chocolate and selling it.
Visiting Bariloche with my classmates is a great experience.
