Rest Day

Today i wake u and the plan is to hire a car and head to Punta Tumbo . This is a penguin breeding colony and as much as i want to go , my body is saying no. I feel exhausted and havent felt great through the night, so as dissappointing as it is we are going to give it a miss and just have an easy day. To be honest there is a lot we can be doing like the mundane task of uploading photos and preparing for the journey ahead.
When you are travelling there are times that you have to listen to your body, and as wonderful as it is not going to work everyday, the days are still filled with long walks and normal day to day stuff like washinng clothes and making meals. As time goes on things do get easier as you learn along the way but things like managing all thephotos you take are so time consuming, and anybody thinking of travelling should put a lot of thought into this before they leave. We have literally taken thousands of photographs(i will bore you with them on my return) and each time i take one now i question myself do why do i want a picture of another shoreline or another sunset , but they are all so special and im sure over the years to come each one will be appreciated.
Mateus and marie have invited us to take lunch with them at the seafood restaurant across the way from the hostel. Today is Maries last day before she heads back towards Buenes Aires for her friends wedding and yet again these two people are what has made our stay here special. We agree to let them order and are served with the freshest Calamari i have ever tasted , salad , and frittata and of course an ice cold bottle of stella to wash it down. The setting here is perfect sat just slightly off the shoreline, watching children and adults alike frolicking in the sea, and its at moments like this I appreciate how blessed i am to be doing what im doing. We finish lunch and take a stroll along the shore dipping into the sea. At the start of the sea is a thick algae and it feels like im walking through mud not unpleasnt but not pleasant either but once you are through this the water turns really clear, and really cold. Once again we aquire a temporary dog who follows us all along the shore where at the end is a monument for all the fallen soldiers of the falklands.
No matter which country you were from the lives that were lost were those of somebodys son or husband or dad and i spend some time saying a rayer for all the families caught u in the battle. Back along the beach we arrive at the hostel and collect Maries belongings and walk with her to the station to catch her bus . Thwe wind is really picking u and im glad i came armed with my sunglasses as its like the tazmanian devil is in town with the dust flying everywhere. The Liverool game is on the television and watching the red men beat the Mancs makes my day . tonight i go to bed a very happy girl.Leia mais
