Hablar Gallese?

Next up was the Welsh towns. In the mid 1800s Welsh settlers came to Patagonia on the promise of good farmland, i’m not sure the dry arid conditions of Patagonia are quite what they anticipated but they came in their thousands. Trevelin was our first visit just south of El Bolson followed by Gaiman and Trelew on the east coast. Each of the towns are rather small and we may have overestimated how much time we would need in each but they had wonderful regional museums with lots of artefacts and relics from the original settlers, Trevelin was cold like Bolson and Bariloche but it was lovely to go east to Trelew and Gaiman were we could wear t-shirts again and soak up some sun.
The most fun experience of these towns was going to a traditional Welsh Tea House, lost at home now but a key part of the Welsh towns here. The problem was on arrival for our lunch, they really only do traditional tea, so I had to explain to the waiter that we only wanted one serving as Ed doesn’t drink tea and I cannot eat cake. So I enjoyed the best cup of tea I have had in four months and Ed enjoyed a gigantic platter of cakes, scone and bread and jam! It was strange to be surrounded by signs in Welsh and Welsh flags everywhere, so far away from home.

The absolute most amazing thing I have ever seen in a museum,

a tea cup with a protector for your moustache,

I need to find me one of these for my Cava Cup hire business!!
