Jimmy and I spent 4 nights over the Easter weekend in Barreal in the San Juan region of northern Argentina. Posada San Eduardo was our home, good food and wine and horses 24 hours a day.

| Just south of Barreal there is a large lake which was rather short of water the day we visited. | Jimmy reckoned he would like a shot of driving. It was only after he was behind the wheel that he told me he had not driven for 25 years! | The breakfast room at Posada San Eduardo in Barreal. Great place ... owned by an ex Formula 1 racing driver. |

| Jimmy smokes his last cigarette before the big equestrian trip. | Loading up the pack horse. | Senior Ever
Palacio .... our master horseman. |

 |
| Doesn't Jimmy look cool? | Ever rounding me up after my horse would not obey my perfectly good instructions. | When you get
this horse going he is hard to stop. |

| Hi Mum! | Nightime round
the campfire with real gauchos. |
We load up the pack mule for the journey home. The blindfold is so the guy will stand still and not kick. |

| The campsite is down there somewhere. Funny it looked different when we arrived in the dark. | The landscape was just amazing. Luckily it was the dry season or we would have been swimming. | Doesn't my horse have lovely ears? |
