In the Falkland Islands

Good morning! (How nice to hear those words and see signs in English!) We arrived in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands this morning. The sun was shining, the skies blue and a crisp breeze.
We have found the only internet cafe on the island and it is only slightly faster than the computer on the ship...so unfortunately, no pictures again.

We've had a wonderful tour of the island and learned a lot about the history of the islands, the conflict between Argentina (including the still active land mines along the coastal areas), and the beautiful scenery!

Our next order of business is to find the highly-recommended pub for some fish, chips and a pint!

We are at sea again tomorrow, heading for Puerto Madryn (and some penguins).

Ta Ta for now.
