Argentina 2009

Monday16November

We are heading back to El Calafate! And it looks like some are tired!!!  

A small snack and good local water will do us the greatest good...

While waiting for our next flight to Eastern Argentina, we are going to stroll in the ecological reserve of Lake Nimez where a colony of pink flamingos lives.

Did I say pink flamingo??? HA well no!!! These are Chilean flamingos (Phoenicopterus chilensis) and it is not the same species!!! The pink flamingo is the one we can see in Camargue!

Upland Goose

A Labrador and his friend in full chase after a poor goose who doesn't know how to get rid of them!

El Calafate Airport.

As usual, while waiting for check-in, a little game of "barbu" is essential!

After 2 hours of flight, here we are in Trelew

And there hundreds of fans wait for me chanting my name throughout the airport!! ........ Ha but no! It's the car renter Fiorasi waiting for me with my name on the sign!
