What's new, Buenos Aires?
We're new!
Have finally escaped from Ushuaia, although to be honest we quite enjoyed our time there, and a bit of a rest did us good. On our last day there we climbed up to the Martial Glaciar (well, one of us did - a short, young lady who will remain nameless wimped out halfway, giving Craig the camera to take pictures for her).
Yes, we know that you don't get penguins in Buenos Aires, but we couldn´t resist putting up a cute picture from our visit to Penguin Island. If anyone is interested, we have 400 more pictures just like it... Plus a cuddly penguin of our very own (called Percy).
Our first day in Buenos Aires has been good (and hot!). We've been to the Recoletta cemetery to find Eva Peron´s (Evita) grave, seen the widest street in the world, done the Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada, and been in the cathedral. And of course, found time to sit down and have a beer (it's hard work, all this travelling!). Actually, a nice cold beer makes a nice change - in Ushuaia it was normally too cold for beer, and we ended up drinking tea (or hot milk off the children's menu in Sharon's case).
We're in Buenos Aires until Sunday, when we fly to Iguazzu. We've got a busy few days lined up, including a day trip on the ferry to Uruguay (It seemed a shame not to fit in another country!).
The other piccy is of us at Torres del Paine in Chile. Thought it might be nice to put a picture of that up as we couldn´t do so at the time.
Last but not least, a quick hello to Clare and Ian who are expecting their first child in the next few weeks. Good luck to you both and let us know how it goes.

What, no museums down that far south? How about a museum of ice in its many fascinating forms...
You're on the final leg you know, sorry to be brutal but jealousy is a hard master!
Salisbury drew 1-1 with Forest, so a replay is on the cards. Oddly no-one in the office is talking about so most people probably don't even realise, which shows your mum is more up to date than most people around.
Had a great time in Florida, got back 3 days ago and still trying to get over the jet lag - getting into work about lunchtime which may not be going down so well. Some bloke was part eaten by an alligator while we were there, and we did see loads of them down in the Everglades, but they just lok so cute you want to pick them up - only joking, stick with the penguins!
