Falklands: Quick trips

Patrick Watts, Adventure Falklands, P.O. Box 223, Stanley, Falkland Islands FIQQ 1ZZ; 011-500-21-383, e-mail pwatts@horizon.co.fk. “Tour guide Patrick Watts, a third-generation Falkland Islander, took us to see the penguin colonies, gave us an in-depth tour of the battlefields (complete with a commentary on the war) and showed us the sights of Stanley, all for a fraction of the cost of ships’ tours that most tourists take when they arrive by cruise ship.” Tours start at $27 per person.
