Hola! 23rd Nov, now in Peninsula Valdes-South America's finest wildlife reserves-it's home to many marine creatures including Killer Whales,Penguins,Southern Right Whales,Elephant Seals and so on...it's the place where Killer Whales come right on to the beach to grab unsuspecting seals for minor snacks-one of the nature's great sight if you are lucky to witness it-we were unlucky as when we were there the tide was out! you win some and you some! shit happens all the time man!
22nd went to a place called Punta Tombo to see Megellanic Penguins and this is a colony of over half a million and they were everywhere-just amazing to see so many of them!
...the 24 hours bus ride was just fine and you also get food and drinks just like on aeroplane and sleeping bed not too bad either-we have another 24 hour sleeper bus ride as we travel towards to capital Buenos Aires(means goos wind) pretty soon!
...we hired a car for couple of days to see the wildlife better but been a bit unlucky -we reached the harbour to catch a boat to see Whales etc but wind was blowing at 16 knots/hour and so it was cancelled again-I mean I know some people fart and wind blows over 16 knots/hour and they don't fall over!-but that's the rule-the boats are real antiquated and rather not sea-worhty and in a way we were glad it was cancelled-so no whales for us but there are thousands just off the coast from here- anyway we saw plenty of Humpback Whales in Australia.We did see hundreds and hundreds of huge Sea Lions and Seals and some Penguins too! I think we've overdone it with glaciers and penguins!
The infra-structure for tourist in Argentina is rather poor to say the least and that's a shame as there is plenty to see-but getting to a place is rather difficult-but then it's a huge country-it's just smaller than India in size and yet there are only 40 million here-so there are massive empty spaces here and uninhabited areas for hundreds of miles but hey they play damn better futball than the English do-glad that MU puppet has been sacked as England manager,I mean he is third rate and to make him England manager -give me a break!
Argy food! well! what food! it's beef and beef and beef and more beef-for god's sake let the cow live!
They eat such bland food that it makes English food taste real good!
I have yet to spot Gabriel Sabatini here but have spotted many Batusta and Diego look alike-honest!-I mean they love long hair here-I mean I just woudn't fit in here with my hair-style(what hair dad!-you've got none! shouts V!).By the way Diego is in and out of the re-hab here-what a waste man-a real genius of a player I ever saw but Gerrards god! and Raffa too! and Carra! I say leave Raffa alone and OI! you Yankees ! GIVE HIM MORE MONEY TO SPEND TO BUY MORE TORRES!
Argy people are real nice though and boy they have huge egos!
Been following football here and watched the Brazil game the other day on telly-also been following India v Paki and great to win the ODI's once again- comeon Mushy stop sending women to play against our boys! let's win the test series too boys !
We've only got just over 5 months left now-don't know where the time has gone-I can still remember everything about our 1st day in Beijing and it feels like we only left home few days ago!
Hey but there is plenty to do and see in next few months so the journey goes on!
Cheers!
