Stanley, Falkland Islands




Today, Tuesday Feb 23rd, we arrived at Stanley in the Falkland Islands. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm (15 degrees C). We spent the morning site seeing in the town, visiting the museum and war memorial.  It is very British and a quaint place to visit. The island is very flat with no trees and mostly rock. The people were very friendly however, and loved their life there. 


There were no trees on the island, only rock and peat
