Well here we are in sunny Buenos Aires, and boy is it sunny - 35 degrees at the last count. Glad to hear that it is snowing in London, so probably about a 40 degree difference between most of you and us! Went to a Tango show last night which was pretty amazing and not too cheesy, went to La Boca and Recoleta today, homes of Maradona and Eva Peron respectively. Tomorrow, we head towards Uruguay, an unexpected addition, then to Paraguay and finally Brazil...

So here we are - at the end of the world or 'fin del mundo' as they say down here!! We have just done a Beagle Channel boat trip(no beagles spotted today though!!). Plenty of sea lions and cormorants though, Helen is adamant she saw a penguin but I think it was just a dead cormorant - maybe a beagle got it!!! Anyway, we have a Mexican night at the campsite tonight, i'm advised tequila is on the menu - memories of June 30 and our leaving do methinks!!!! ...

Wish you were here!!! You definately wish you were - red wine is less than $2 for a bottle, and that's in a restaurant! Steaks are cheap, well everything is cheap!! Thank god for an economy collapsing - OK a touch harsh but no reason not to take advantage! Off back to Chile on Wednesday for New Year and more expensive European style living and then to start our tour on the 3rd of Jan! Have a great new year and will send another 'postcard' soon!
