Tues 18/3/14: Rio Gallegos to Buenos Aires

In Uncategorized • By Marty St. James

Went to (of all things) an Irish pub last night in the one horse town Patagonian town of Rio Gallegos. The DJ played all British rock songs, the live band played south american salsa and toasted us as Antarctic travellers. Guinness in bottles, St Patrick night symbols everywhere. Heavy rock locals in odd leather outfits and girls with tatoo’s and short skirts – all a bit odd…

Being a Brit sometimes has its advantages – but all a bit surreal after Antarctica. 2 hours sleep in a gas smelling wooden hut room and on the Hercules for a 4 and half hour flight to Buenos Aires.
