It is a travelling day today, 2 flights and 5 hours sat on my butt! That's not good for the Olympic beach volleyball career! I actually think my elbow and shoulder are quite happy having 2 weeks without a dig. Set or Spike in sight!

I thought I'd share with you my thoughts so far of this country, well there is more cheese, ham, biscuits and cakes you've ever seen, so clearly im feeling at home here! There does not seem to be any health and safety and the security of domestic flights is non existent! Ben~ everyone had their bags out of the lockers as the wheels touched the ground!

The people I have met have been very friendly and helpful to be fair most of these work in tourism so should be! The drivers in buenos aires were simply angry!! I've not come across any other English people lots of Americans, Germans, Spanish, Irish and australians! My Spanish is coming back to me selectively !

I'm still in awe of the falls yesterday I cannot stress enough how brilliant they are so If you have the opportunity do it! It's lots of walking though so mum keep breaking into a sweat in those keep fit classes!

One of the strangest things is that noone likes change smaller than 100 pesos about 15 quid but the coffee for example is 25 pesos (airport prices) so you end up buying more things sneaky!

I'm really excited about my trip to Patagonia just need to book the excursions !

I have arrived in el calafate 3 hours from BA it is like a ski resort in the summer lots of people in hiking gear combat trousers north face jackets and hi tech boots! I am currently sat in a cafe just testing the local tipple! I have officially declared tomorrow Sunday 18th nov a day of rest ! I intend to sleep, read, eat and have a wander !

On Monday I am going on a boat trip around the glaciers the pictures look amazing, hope mine turn out good enough to share with you all! it's a 7:15 pick up kind of getting used to them !

I may not write tomorrow so more Monday xxx
