Described as far from the world cup of tourist destinations in the lonely, we were far from disappointed or suprised by our stay in Rio Gallegos. At worst, it´s a bus stop. At best, it was a chance to sit on the bed, watch a bit of cable, and enjoy a bottle or two of vino with cheese.
Entirely beyond me are the reasons for the only flight out to Buenos Aires leaving weekly at 1:30 in the morning on a Tuesday.
After a day in Buenos, you get the impression this is a city anyone could live in. Perfect weather for t-shirts and shorts, nipped down the mall for a new pair of thongs. You pinch youself when even the bad cuts of beef are cooked with the tenderness and dedication of a $30 steak. A couple of nice regional beers to soothe the heat and decent cheap argentinian and chilean wine. The streets are home to fabulous 19th century architecure and ample shopping and markets to keep Beth happy for weeks. It´s a world away from the stunning landscape and often brutal weather of patagonia.
