Bill. We're steaming up North to the Mouth of the River Plate and are just about opposite Trelew, the Welsh part of Argentine Patagonia.
Another penguin suit night tonight so had to hurriedly wash my frilly shirt after our exertions when Val took over as Crows nest DJ two nights ago.
Falkland Islands were beautiful but widy and quite bleak in spite of the best sunshine the crew had seen in 12 visits! I'd hate to have to live there. Our Travel Guide referred to the Falklands War as a skirmish. A bit of an insult I thought to the 700 -odd soldiers who paid the ultimate price there. We went to the memorial and Thatcher Road! What it did do was end dictatorship in the whole of the Americas - but that may have happened anyway without killing so many young men! They're still going to have problems keeping a population there being 300-odd miles from anywhere!

Thanks for all your comments, glad Joseph enjoys singing like his grandparents. We should be fit but not sure as so much food on offer never mind this is a once in a lifetime experience and we are enjoying it far more than either of us anticipated.
