Islas Malvinas aka: Falkland Islands

I love penguines!

lots and lots of penguins, they’re really funny.

Okay, so back in the day there was the war in the Faulklands and I had to wonder why Britain really cared about this place. Now I want to go there to see what’s so important.

we almost moved to the Falklands for 6 months with my dads work, but that didnt happen in the end. I dont htink I saw any of the Falklands team at the Island Games but I still want to go.

I tried to find them on the map and was not able so I did this search and found this. Anyway the Falkland Islands are a beautiful place to visit. The Globe Tavern in Stanley serves a perfect english breakfast. I would go back there to visit anytime. :)

Not sure the Falkland Islanders would be happy to see their land categorised under Argentina. There was that war and all…

That said, this is a brilliant place. I travelled here in 2004 with my husband, we stayed on 3 islands over one week. Pictures are here: http://www.lilyonthedustbin.com/wedding (excuse the wedding photos, go to the honeymoon for serious penguin action)

The people were fantastic, the scenery amazing. Adventure you will never forget and worth every penny. We saw six species of penguin: King, Magellanic, Rockhopper, Gentoo, Macaroni and Erect-crested.
