Zonda departure from Rodeo

So I’ve now spent 4 nights here, and today I really have to go. After the winds got too strong for me, the experts came out to play, and I got some more great shots. They were a really friendly bunch too – and it was great chatting to them after the sun [...]

10 years ago I could windsurf – can I still remember today in the strong winds of Cuesta del Viento?!

My bodyclock quite bizarrely seems to have completely overshot Argentinian time and ended up out towards the Galapagos Islands. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking! The bed had looked rather saggy in the mattress department last night, but actually was very [...]
