REST SUNDAY IN CALAFATE

Day 210

Sunday, 6th January 2008

Calafate, Patagonia, Argentina

It´s a rest day today..and a day that internet is finally working!! WHOOooohhhoooo! I realise i really get irked and tired of traveling when i can´t send messages..or send and receive emails....i hate it when i´m somwhere remote and can´t communicate.

It´s lonely enough, after ten months, not having any family or being able to make friends because we´re moving around so much..without also having the isolation enhanced by not being to send a message when i want to! Or being able to write. I do have a journal and a diary..but i can´t carry too much in my pack..so i´ve been writing in this blog more to save carrying it all!

I love to write and without access to a computer i feel my right hand has been cut off! That´s when i start saying..i wish i had a laptop!!!!! And that´s when...we start going into shops to see how much they cost and thinking we´d use it for wi fi...but they´re not cheap. For a mini travel computer we´re looking at over 5 grand. And if we buy one overseas, we don´t have the local warranty..and it´s set up in the local language..and although i´ve gotten to know some Spanish..it doesn´t quite extend from menu language to computer language!!! ha!

But...only 2 months to go..and we´ll be back in our own home...and probably we´ll be thinking that this experience has been all a dream!

What if it is?

ANYWAY: As you can see..i can rave. Today...At last! We can get email! We still don´t have any mobile reception but at least all is ok at home! :-)

Okies..time to go...I¨m going to post some more of these wonderful polar pics on the next blog!
