Leaving BA
7 février 2016, Argentine ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
We've had a lovely time, even with the side trips to the dentist, but it's time to leave the capital city. We are getting on a plane for 3.5 hours to fly to El Calafate and start the first Patagonia bit of the trip. Leaving behind the sunshine and heat for cool and probably rainy lakes and mountains.En savoir plus

A bit of culture
6 février 2016, Argentine ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Took a tour of the opera house - Teatro Colon - very grand & sparkly. And made from marble shipped from Europe. Among the best acoustics in the world apparently, so said Pavaroti. Then to the Museo de Belle Artes for some fine art. They're a very artistic and cultured bunch the Porteños (Buenos Aires-ians)En savoir plus

The dentist (again)
4 février 2016, Argentine ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
Having been to the dentist 4 times in the past 3 weeks in London... Lisa's teeth sprung a brand new problem the day before we left. It has been getting worse and progressed to pain on swallowing & reduced hearing. Luckily we had a recommendation for a dentist & an hour later (whole consultation in Spanish) we had a diagnosis of an infected wisdom tooth. We dismissed the two surgical options (the dentist agreed operating now was a big risk) and instead left with antibiotics & mouth washes. Clare now has to 'irrigate' the area with a chlorhexedine syringe every day. Yey! That'll be fun camping. Clare had to go to the pharmacy all by herself & buy the prescription in (pigeon) spanish! Not quite the adventure we had in mind.En savoir plus

3 février 2016, Argentine ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Went for a walk with half of the city in los bosques de palermo this evening. I can tell you that rollerblading is in big time here. Walked around past the zoo and saw flamingos, a giraffe and capybara. Then had 38 seconds to cross twelve lanes of traffic - but at least you get a countdown. Dry January finished on Sunday night but we've just started on our first bottle of Malbec (£2) and we are both a bit drunk on one glass each.En savoir plus

First real chance to explore the city. Went on the subway - which costs 23p per trip! Visited the cathedral but refused Clare's offer to take my photo with a lifesize Jesus on a donkey - people were queueing for the pleasure. Walked around the trendy skyscraper docks area. Had a very lovely lunch in Boca with (Lisa's) dad and Lynne then walked around the Costanera Sur ecological reserve. Saw a wild guinea pig, some lovely birds and a red haired tree. One whole area was roped off because of snakes but people were still picnicking there.En savoir plus

Last training walk and it was the biggest and muddiest so far. Hard work. We slipped, slid and squelched our way along. Distance - 24.5 Km, 401 m elevation in 5 hours 32 mins. Photos show some of the mud, the Bridgewater Monument, how mild the weather was on the Ridgeway, our brief lunch stop with views towards Bulbourne and finally who knew Berkhamstead not only has a castle but a totem pole.En savoir plus

New Year's Day training walk in yucky conditions. Started off in the wrong place and had to wade through flooded fields. Clare slipped and fell in the mud. Lots of up, not so much down. Great test of our GoreTex boots and gear, all of which held up well. Moral of the story though - put on your waterproof trousers on as soon as it starts to rain and stuff will get wet in your pockets. Distance - 18.23 km, duration 4 hours 23 mins, 353 m elevation and 2 hours of it in the rain.En savoir plus

Very good choice not to walk through a field that warned of possible bulls. We did a detour and when we arrived at the joining point we could see about ten bulls all standing right by the gate we would have had to have gone through.En savoir plus
