18th December Trewel- round trip 95 miles

We head off this morning with Frank and travel to Rawson on the coast, we are now firmly in the Welsh sector.
Rawson is a beach town with a port. The beach has 7 lifeguard huts, noty all attended, but there are possibly 3 people on the beach. We move up the beach area to the port, a strong smell of fish indicated there main industry. There is an official port area with 20 or so cranes and moving on several boats that would have been condemned and then a bunch that obviously had been.
We stopped and had some lunch in a very nice Lebanese restaurant and after go to get some photos of the cranes, I don’t know if they were expecting a rushj but there seemed to be 3 cranes for every boat that was there.
We now retrace our steps and go inland to a couple of traditional Welsh villages. Furthest first, nothing to speak of on the surface and then back to Gaiman. Here you can have traditional English tea. A quick survey and we end up outside a very nice looking establishment with lots of smartly dressed people wandering around. Frank investigates and this one is closed as it is her Sons wedding day. A group gather aroung the bikes as usual and Martin asks for a recommendation of an alternative venue. Calls go out and the groom is introduced to us and naturally the bride, after ashort debate we are invited to stay so long as we don’t mind the waitresses collecting the glasses from the wedding reception. Wel this was fantatic for us and we had long chats with the groom who was born in the USA and welcomed the opportunity to practice his English, Frank spoke to the Spanish speaking group and the we had a photo shoot before disbanding and enjoying our tea.
What a fantastic day, we return to Trewel, fill up, we have learnt, get money, water and finally sort out Argentinean PAYG phone cards, thanks once again to Frank.
Off to see some Penguins tomorrow, half a million of them!!
