Through the landmines to Stanley…

Wet landing from zodiacs at Long Island – close to the lonely farm. The
hospitable farmer showed us how he takes care of his
horses and sheeps. Interesting! He has hard life far from the world…
Electricity only from the local, oil-powered
mini-power station. Then the charter bus took us (abous an hour drive) to the capital of the archipelago. The landscape of
the grassy hills is rather monotonous… Around Stanley (or Port Stanley) we saw many fenced mine fields – remains from the 1982 war. The city of pastel – painted houses is located along the sound – with some 3 km from one end to other. There is interesting museum (entry cost 3 pounds), anglican cathedral and catholic church to see. Collectors like their stamps and
coins…
