I plan to ride down to Patagonia on my new bike, probably Puerto Madryn and maybe even Comodoro Rivadavia, with some off-roading of course.
Have you been to the Welsh settlements in Patagonia before Splinter ? If not, I'd recommend making time to explore a little around there. In my opinion it's more Welsh than Wales - but that is what often happens when a community emigrates and their culture gets frozen in time. Great museums in Trelew and a fascinating little Welsh museum in Gaiman. The curator of the Gaiman museum was very elderly and I remember a fascinating four-way conversation there in which no one person could speak a language everybody else there could understand. Mrs Roberts spoke Welsh and Spanish but no English, the American academic and I spoke English and Spanish but no Welsh and the Welsh academic, Welsh and English but no Spanish and we all muddled along just fine slipping from one language to another and translating for each other as we went along.
