My fourth location is the Falkland Islands. The Falkland Islands are in the country of South America. The capital of South America is Stanley.
There are two countries that border South America. These are Mexico and North America. The bodies of water that border South America are the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
The coordinates for the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) are 51° 45 South and 59° 55 West.
The climate of the Falkland Islands is cold marine climate with strong west winds, cloudy, and humid. It rains more than half of the days in one year. The average rainfall in one year is 24". There is occasional snow but it does not amount to anything. It does not snow in January and February.
It looks like an island with penguins and beautiful sites and ocean views.
In 1684, three British explorers, John Cook, William Dampier and Ambrose Cowley discovered the Falkland Islands.
It is 109o miles from my third location to my fourth location. I got to my fourth location by boat from a fisherman that gave me a ride. It cost me nothing because the fisherman was on his way to the Falkland Islands. Getting a ride to the islands was free. We had a layover on our trip because the fisherman kept stopping the boat to go fishing.
My travels have been fine through my four locations. The biggest difference from my last location is that it does not snow on Madagascar.
