Goodbye Buenos Aires... and Argentina

Last week in Buenos Aires after a very sudden decision to return to Europe (nothing to do with the fact the weather is improving in Europe and autumn is drawing in in the southern hemisphere) having had the most incredible, inspiring trip from the moment we set off on the cruise back in November. After a busy week in BA unpacking, sorting, re-packing and packing again..... we spent our last weekend with our best friends, who helped us out so much these past two years. These last photos are from a fantastic weekend in their home-town called Chacabuco a few hours from Buenos Aires city.

Goodbye (for now) Argentina....

Next stop: Galicia- Northern Spain.

Feb- end of volunteer work: Seven day hike that nearly killed me!

Walking through burnt forests to begin ... didn't feel very safe as enormous trunks were falling down all around us.

First spot to camp on night 1

The top of this platform mountain is our destination after 2 days

Grumpy and lost another day

Interesting way to mark a path with a horses skull!

The most amazing, hidden, inaccessible lake in the world

Annoying sticky-ball plant that stuck to everything!

Successful day fishing on paradise lake before returing back down to reality ....

Jan/Feb park work: Third day off, fishing (and sunbathing!) on the other side of Lago Puelo- Rio Turbio
