ARGENTINA (2015)

Durante sus vacaciones Neil y Digger estaban felices de solicitar la nacionalidad argentina (clarkson gracias por revolviendo para arriba! Idioto)
Scenery

This one (Anconcagua) is considered by most people (in S America) to be the second highest in the world
Travel

Contrary to what many people think Neil doesn’t travel the cheapest way (all the time). We moved around not by animal but by wheeled transport……….
Walking/streets

Note the WWFC hat in this photo. It went missing. See bottom of this page for details of reward if found and returned
Geology
Archaeology

Now. Not wishing to cast doubt on the authenticity of this bridge but just how big was the Roman empire?!!
The Welsh

Patagonia is “famous” for its Welsh heritage. You can even buy Welsh baseball hats (in UK) and wear them next to Welsh sounding street names

Its not just street names giving the “Welsh connection” away. See this Welsh school/cultural centre (not open)

But the real “giveaway” is what the Welsh are most famous for? No, not rugby, coal mines or choirs, but afternoon tea……
Wine
Town-life

Despite having an incredible promotion on (large beer and pizza for £3) Digger and Neil found that they were often eating alone in Las Tres Marias (Restaurant and Heladeria). Heaven.

We never quite found the time to visit the Polo Club of the Royal County of Berkshire (but as one of the few hints of the existence of a country called England its existence was quite reassuring!)
Water

Sometimes it was dirty and fast flowing (Neil had told me it was the “rainy” season and I hadn’t believed him till this day!)
People
Despite our poor Spanish language skills we met along of “people”. None of whom said much or objected to having their photos taken.
Animals
We also met a lot of animals. They also didn’t say much (and generally speaking) didn’t mind having photos taken of them
Some people have asked if Neil and I were still friends at the end of the trip?

Some say a photo speaks for a thousand words (this was actually taken on day one in Buenos Aires- things not looking good!!)

Perhaps this is a better photo to use (respect and thanks to Neil for taking me on another “once in a lifetime” adventure)
Missing!! Reward!!

Regretfully I have to announce that one WWFC had went missing somewhere near San Martin de los Andes. If you should find this hat please let me know as a substantial reward is available.
