To the other end of the world part 2 - Falkland Islands<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The time has finally come - welcome to the second part of the South America blog.\u00a0<\/strong>You can find out how the trip came about and the first part of the blog here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelling to the Falkland Islands -<\/strong> After an eventful week in the Patagonian mountains, we went straight to the next highlight. After the almost two-hour flight from Punta Arenas to Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands, Derek was already waiting for us there. Derek lives with his wife at Volunteer Point. This was our first location for the next five days. Volunteer Point is located on the eastern main island of the Falklands and can therefore be reached by car from the airport. However, it should be at least an off-road 4\u00d74 to drive the very bumpy and sometimes watery road. Luckily for us, Derek drives the forty-minute route almost every day and was able to avoid the worst potholes with his experience. But it was the nature of the road and above all the landscape, in which we could make out the first white dots as penguins from a great distance, that gave me the feeling of being on the direct route to paradise. A feeling that accompanied me more and more over the next two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n
