Hello all,
I'm not an ex-pat or planning to be one, but I hope you won't mind me tapping into your local knowledge to help me organise for a replacement camera for my daughter, who is currently in Argentina.
The problem is that she is not living in Mendoza (or anywhere else), but travelling, with a partner, around the world on horseback (www.thegreathorsetrip.com). They managed to lose both of their rugged/waterproof cameras somewhere south of Malargue and badly need to get a replacement. Their next destination of any size is Mendoza, which they will reach in probably about 8-12 days.
There are two options that I can think of.
One is that she simply buys a replacement in Mendoza, but I don't know how likely they are to find the right one. I haven't been able to locate a dealer on the internet. If anyone knows, or could suggest, a possible source, that would be great. The particular camera is a Panasonic (Lumix) DMC-FT3 (or DMC-TS3. Same thing, just the US version).
The second option is for me to send one from the UK, but obviously my daughter doesn't have a delivery address. Can anyone tell me if there is anything like a post office or similar to which I can send it for collection when they arrive in thee town?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Barry
