This morning we were taken on a tour to San Carlos, about 20 miles from Darwin. We drove through rolling hills and the 'rivers of rock', so aptly named by Charles Darwin during his visit to the area in 1833. San Carlos was a major military area in the 1982 war and we were taken to the British cemetery where many of the British military personnel who were killed during the war are buried. We also toured the small, but interesting museum at San Carlos.
In the afternoon we were taken on a 'battlefield tour' which followed the advance of British troops in the battle for Goose Green in which they eventually caused the Argentine military commander to surrender his 1500 troops. He was not impressed when he learned that he had been defeated by only 48 British personnel.
We also visited the large Argentine war cemetery near Goose Green. In all there were about 700 Argentine casualties.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
