Hi, found this link on Maxima's daytime-fashion thread: royals.web-log.nl: Royale activiteiten (scroll down).

She looks a bit hysterical, drained on two of the pictures. Do you know the reason? Anything went wrong during the trip?

TRH have concluded their visit to Chile and Antarctica and returned in The Netherlands this morning.

Prior to their trip to Chile and Antartica, Maxima & W-A stopped in Argentina.

The farm its in front of a nice river to practice Tuna fishing and kayaks. The main activity of both Princess in their every visit to the Patagonia Argentina. Maxima arrived with Willem-Alexander Monday February 02, 2009 on a private flight from Europe stay for first time on their new house.

La princesa Maxima y su marido se compran un rancho grade en Patagonia på 3 500 000 dollars. El rancho es en frente de un rio y pueden pescar atun y Kayaks ( no se como se dice pero son pequenos barcos de remo). Maxima llego con su marido el lunes en viaje privado y se han quedado por primera ves en sy nueva casa.

Notad que la casa tiene pista de helicoptero"

Wow! I didn't know that they were interested in buying property in Argentina. It sounds lovely. I wonder if they purchased it as a place for holidays, or if they purchased it for one of Maxima's relatives? I would love to see photos.

As for the property in Argentina, it was bought as an investment, not a vacationhome (for the royals).

I watched the videos. Thank you for the videos, Carlota, Prinsesbeagle, and Pirrar. Princess Maxima and Prince W-A seems to have a funny side. I thought it was funny and cute when Maxmia came out of the underground and hugged W-A.
