... still speak Welsh. Indeed lots of signs are in both Welsh and Spanish, similar to us with Welsh and English. Apparently the connection is that close that The British Welsh Office pays Welsh teachers to come here and teach Welsh in the schools. We were able to see the museum, which is based in the old railway station, this contains many old documents and artefacts from the original settlers and was quite interesting. From here we drove to the first Pastors house, the old ...

What an amazing experience---by far the coolest thing I´ve seen in a long time. At Punto Tumbo there is a colony of about a half million Magellanic penguins...unreal! I think my camera was smoking from taking so many pictures. You were able to get really close to the penguins, actually it was that the penguins that would get close to the humans. They waddle around and are quite ...

Day of watching and walking with penguins is here now!!! I think if you want to see one of the biggest colonies of Magalles penguins you need to come this far. I left in a shared car with two other Germans around 10am. We took Routa 1 which is all gravol down to Punta Tombo. We had a short stop in a Island Beach (don´t know its name). But in high tide this island gets hidden and when the tide is low it comes out. Very nice view around that area and of course few mama seals ...

Bus dropped me off after 18 hours of travel. Seems very long but this is Argentina. Remember distances are far!!! Trelew is not a tourist town at all. I am not sure what I am doing here really. I guess watching and walking with penguins in Punta Tombo must worth this visit for me. I decided to hop on the Gaiman bus which is the local bus called 28 de Julio for 3.80 ARS to get to the famous city of the Welsh, Gaiman. I spent about 3 hours walking around the city, watching the old Welsh ...

... must be on Red Bull. As soon as our Zodiac got out into the bay, you could see about a dozen dolphins racing toward us to play. They love to surf in the wake ...

... in 2nd class. Slumming it with semi cama seats, constant dvds and pretty damn good grub to be fair. Makes the MegaBus look a bit lame quite frankly. In fact makes some airlines (KLM anyone) look pretty lame. We stopped in a place called Viedma for no ...

... verheugen ons al bij de aanblik van zo´n enorm beest dat korte metten maakt met de tegenstribbelende maar hulpeloze zeeleeuw.. Ja je wordt wat destructief na twee weken steppe. Uit het praatje van de alleraardigste gids blijkt, zover haar engels is te verstaan boven het geluid van de krakende bus die heen en neer hobbeld op de gravel weg, dat de kans op het zien van een Orca deze tijd van het jaar 3% is. Maar vorige week zijn er twee gezien ...

... en lama´s (leuk leuk!), die de bestuurder regelmatig met hysterisch getoeter van de weg joeg. Dus hier hebben die schrijvers het over, dat oneindige lege en eenzame land. Ze schijnen er geinspireerd door te raken, maar bij mij ging er niet zoveel in mijn ziel borrelen, hooguit een wat oncomfortabel gevoel dat ik graag weer een dorp in zicht wilde hebben en een ietwat stijve nek. Maar ik moet eerlijk zijn, het is bizar (en dus ...

... excited about seeing these amazing creatures and we couldn´t wait for the opportunity! We arrived unharmed...at least physically...after about an hour or so of more dirt roads that cross throughout the Patagonian landscape. We donned the necessary life jackets and rain proof ponchos and made our way to the boat. We boarded, sat and were ready to head out on this dingy-type inflatable craft when the captain climbed up behind the steering wheel and made a quick call on the CB. He ...

... were walking up, then a further 1.5 hours to a glacier. After our trek yesterday we walked part of the way up for some photos, then headed to the restaurant for Capuccino and hot chocolate. We then headed to the Naval Museum which is in the old prison, although a lot of the exhibits were about the prison. The prison was built here around 1900 (maybe earlier) - as it was so remote here. It was ...
