... the vegetation, the weather, etc... He told us we were very lucky on the weather since it was blue skies and no wind. He said that only happens about 10 days out of the year. Yay for us!<br><br>The one major thing we missed out on were the penguins, but unfortunately they are not in season at the moment.

... voor de overstap. Echt veel te doen was er niet, we hebben er een groot kerkhof bezocht wat zeker de moeite waard was.. de fotos´ spreken voor zich! Verder hebben we nog bij een taxfree zone nog wat geshopt; eigenlijk na de portofoons (leek ons handig voor de wintersport) na niets gekocht.
