1 Step out of tent (OK this should be out of a luxurious bed, but our budget´s tight!) after wonderful dreams of Brad Pitt and Robert Downie Jnr (did I say that or just think it) and feel the heat of the suns rays on your skin.
2 Step into bikini and slap on the suncream.
3 Take a 2 minute stroll to the local lake for a quick dip in the gorgeous crystal clear waters.
4 Eat liquid caramel on hot, oven fresh, home-made bread (served to you by Brad, sorry, I mean Sands), with accompanying chocolate milk.
5 Stroll into the local town for a meander around the local jewellry shops and have a very funky ring bought for you (no, not THAT sort of ring.....YET!).
6 Take an obligatory stop at the heladaria - oh, what flavour ice-cream to have today? Hmmm......Dulce de leche and cinnamon wins hands down, yummy! After all the Argentineans inherited a fantastic italian ice-cream tradition!
7 Take a 5km walk (OK, not for everyone, but it´s good to walk off some of this Argie food) to the beach by the side of another gorgeous lake.
8 Share a beer and a hamburger in between sunbathing with a book and taking dips in the lake. Sun tan lotion being lathered on the back obligatory, of course!
9 Stroll leisurely back to base along the stunning lake sides for more luscious bread, local cheese and red vino on the beach by a fire (Robert, sorry, Sands made it look so easy).
10 Watch the moon rise and the stars come out to play before 2 very happy and relaxed people stagger back to their tent for a fantastic night´s sleep despite fellow Argie campers rock music blaring out all night!

1 Get up, take a piss, scratch the b******s and dive into the local lake for a wash, sorry swim. Take some photos.
2 Eat breakfast and throw stones for the local dog. Take some more photos
3 Go shopping to keep the mrs quiet for a while, saying yes, no, yes, no at suitable intervals, getting the wallet out as necessary, steering towards the ice cream parlour asap. Capture the town on film.
4 Navigate to the beach, up hill and down, no need to refer to the map or ask directions. Sniff out the beer and burger.
5 Get engrossed reading, in between capturing shots of Argies at the beach, swimming to the middle of the lake and back, twice, and taking just a couple more piccis of the stunning scenery and bikini clad babes, sorry, local folk.
6 Find a short cut that only takes an hour longer to get back, through barbed wire fences and KEEP OUT signed paddocks. Get the camera out once or twice.
7 Eat, drink and make the biggest fire ever with just 3 sticks and no matches. Take pictures of the fire from every angle for proof it is the biggest fire ever.
8 Scratch then sleep.
