Dear Mac and all   

Well we got back from the Antartic and have now thawed out. Saw some of the best lumps of Ice, 20miles by 26 miles, but just could'nt get it into my glass with enough room left for the Whisky. All in all a dam good run ashore. Flew down on Iberian Airways, Pialla for in flight meal with self service the rest of the flight, as crew were  not in a good mood and they decided to retire for the rest of the flight. Airline renamed by brits as SIBERIAN  air lines.   I enclose some photos of the trip. Our first stop was B.A. where we met Horatio Bicane who took us to a dance!! and a Pint. Photo of the Plaque for Felixe Artuso grave from the Santa Fe crew. And a nice pair of legs for the boys??!! Horatio entertained Julie and I for the afternoon and a good time was had by all, after BA we flew down to Ushuia?? right at the bottom end of Argentina. We flew with Argentinian Airways on a 2nd Hand 747, one or two things missing like seat belts, ventilation air nozzles and light fixtures, but it had 2 wings and 4 engines so we arrived safely.   Sorry for the delay but system down and BT line flooded out.    Will Have next set prints soon.
