arrived in rio gallegos yesterday morning, which is the southernmost proper town on the argentine mainland, just killing time really before we can get to ushuaia. our bus leaves tomorrow morning and theres not really anything to do here, had a 5 hour siesta yesterday! quite good to recharge the batteries before we go hiking off into the wilderness. also we found a really good pizza place, 50 pesos for loads of pizza and beer for 3 people (divide by 6 to get pounds), bargain! bus ride here was quite interesting, it casually turned up about an hour late then told everyone to get off for half an hour in trelew, at which point it just drove off with all our luggage onboard! luckily this gave us the chance to watch a gang of dogs marauding around in the car park causing trouble. one of them was trying really hard to make sexytime with one of his companions, who seemed fairly indifferent to his advances, while the rest of them followed him around woofing excitedly. just like people. there was also a little runt dog who get getting left behind and narrowly avoiding getting run over by buses. luckily our bus turned up again after about 40 mins, so we got going again before we got rabies. watched a dubbed adam sandler pretending to be gay in chuck and larry on the bus, and a policeman came onboard for a bit and started checking names, before getting bored and going away again half way through. otherwise pretty uneventful. woke up in the morning and the scenery was exactly the same as it was 18 hours ago, patagonia is obscenely big and flat.
staying with a nice old lady who is taking care of us, so just relaxing today really. just bumped into jason and etienne in the street, so gonna go meet up with them for some pool in a bit, then early night. etienne taught us a new phrase the other day, apparently if you get busted smuggling large quantities of cocaine across a border, you just hold up your hands and say ¡no es mi culpa! then everyone has a good laugh and off you go. might try that soon...................well maybe not. glad to see the facebook/blog messages are still coming and you havnt forgotten about me, always good to hear from you! take it easy, speak to you soon from the end of the world!
