When I return to Chile, I have so much online stuff to catch up on! As Mark returned from work last night he warned me “you’re gonna have an extra day here,” saying there’s a 70% chance my flight will be postponed until Sunday ... Read more >

Shiralee told me yesterday that, if I’ve never flown on a Falkland Islands Government Air Service (FIGAS) plane, I’m in for a treat. This morning I woke up rather late after a terrible dream, and when I noticed how gloomy and dull it was, ... Read more >

As my first time staying in the home of a Falkland Islander, I'd learn a bit today about how things operate in camp. A doctor makes a run in a plane every six weeks to camp settlements, and residents convene at a designated home. Those living in Fox ... Read more >
FALKLAND ISLANDS | Monday, 6 Nov 2017 | Views [976]
It was sunny and beautiful without much (by Falkland standards) wind today: a perfect day for walking, photography, and drone flying. If there's one place in the world that you truly need transport, it's West Falkland. Yesterday I told Critta that I ... Read more >

Another gorgeous day I had in the Falklands yesterday. The weather has been brilliant for the past few days. I got to watch Keith and his farmhands move 13,000 sheep, more than six times the Falklands' human population, into the shearing shed. I remarked ... Read more >

The highest point in the Falklands is what I'd climb today, partially in search of a geocache and partially for the novelty of scaling the highest point in a country. Though by no means Mt. Fuji, Mt. Usborne is no walk in the park. Derek, one of Keith's ... Read more >

Yesterday in Stanley the weather was sunny and gorgeous! I walked round in shorts and a T-shirt for most of the day and I flew Juliett, my drone, in the Falklands for the first time.
After two nights in Stanley, it was time to make a run for "camp," ... Read more >

More than five species of penguins can be found in the Falkland Islands. In the middle of Stanley isn’t the best place to see them but there’s a place nearby and I’ll get to that later. Last night I was so exhausted I slept in until ... Read more >

Yet another destination of my dreams I’d check off my list today, and that is the Falkland Islands. At about the age of 6, I pointed out the Falklands to my mother and she said “you know, there was a war fought there once, and there are more ... Read more >

CHILE | Thursday, 26 Oct 2017 | Views [546]
A geocache would inspire me to go on a lengthy walk today, to the furthest south I've travelled thus far. Faro San Isidro was on my radar today. My sleeping patterns have been terribly out of alignment due to all the travel I've been doing, and Cristian ... Read more >

CHILE | Wednesday, 25 Oct 2017 | Views [191]
My quest for the 7th continent continues, as I'm right near its doorstep. In a few days though, I'm leaving for the Falkland Islands. Chile is so long a country from north to south that it's a three-hour flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas, and this ... Read more >
CHILE | Monday, 23 Oct 2017 | Views [543]
It's perhaps the most poetic way to describe Chile. The title is inspired by the name of a puzzle geocache I've been working on, though still haven't solved. It feels great to finally be here, as I've now travelled to 39 countries!
First I'll describe ... Read more >
