La Boca and Boca Juniors (in a nine-goal thriller)
... just before half-time. In the second half, Boca wore their opponents down and scored twice more to take the lead for the first time.

As it was high tide we couldn't walk to the island and the sea lion colony was disappointing - only one "macho" with its harem could be seen from the distance. We didn't expect much from the penguins colony either. This time ...
Oh little town of El Chalten
... on the actual trails that I guess it's felt that the maps don't need to be too detailed. But as we are used to Britain's incredible OS maps which allow us to work out exactly where we are and when we are going to go up or down hill, we weren't too comfortable with these! The route lines definite did not show the exact route bend for bend, and the contour lines must have been at 500 meters apart (we are used to them being 50 meters!). So we have got used to ...
