An Austrian-themed Birthday

---

So, Jane´s Birthday is coming up and we´re now on our way to Tigre. It´s only 30k´s outside of Buenos Aires, and is the gateway to all of the Delta, which is only accessible by boat. Tigre itself, doesn´t have any suitable accommodation for this auspicious occasion. So, after several hours of conversations in the tourist office, and several pained Spanglish telephone conversations - we are on our way...

An hour on the boat, passing loads of beautiful, expensive riverside properties and we´re soon arriving at ALPENHAUS, our Austrian themed Argentinian retreat for the next two days (obvious Birthday choice).

We are greeted by Susan, who was dressed in her full traditional Austrian costume - a sight we weren´t really prepared for! Our room is very comfortable, the pool is excellent, the beer is cold and the food is well, Austrian with an Argentinian twist!

Despite the abstract concept, we have an excellent time. I´m sure it´s a birthday that Jane won´t forget for a while. It´s not often that you have sauerkraut and sunburn whilst listening to an Austrian Cuckoo clock going off every 15 minutes.

¿Roll on the Luxemburgian themed Chilian campsite?

Next stop Rosario.... 300k NW

Sounds like your having a great time in Austentina. Your books have arrived and are ready in your room for you. Weather here has been storms and rain for the last few days and looks like more - boring! however they do say it is going to be a very hot summer so looking forward to that. tata for now
