"Sharrie's Stanley Souvenirs" Stanley by Sharrie

Stanley Travel Guide: 78 reviews and 104 photos

STANLEY is the capital of the Falkland Islands.
It's here that most cruise ships to the Antarctica will stopover for a visit.
It's here that we spent a very pleasant afternoon which most of us would probably never return!
A trip that you make only once in your lifetime.

Hi Sharrie, Nice insight on this rather forbidding place. There seem to be no trees in Falklands are there? What was then the fighting about ?
