Cabanas En El Mar Puerto Piramides

... die Wale unterscheiden und auch nach Jahren wiedererkennen. Die weissen Flecken sind Hautverdickungen, die von weissen Schalentierchenparasiten überzogen sind. <br>Wale sind ungemein neugierig und verspielt. Unsere beiden Wale kommen bis zur Bootswand und äugen ins Boot, dann tauchen sie unter dem Boot hindurch, um sich auf der andern Seite ausgiebig zu zeigen. Sehr eindrücklich, wenn ein solcher Koloss plötzlich zum Greifen nahe ist ...<br>

... the female would not be tempted to escape, for now!<br><br>On our return drive back to Puerto Madryn, German drove his little Chevy like a rally car to El Doradillo beach once again to allow us the opportunity to see the whales playing along the shoreline. We couldn´t keep track of how many were near by. Some were sunning, some were waiving, and others were breaching. It was a beautiful sight to see and as the sun set, so did our frolicking playmates.

... length is 15 metres you can see this is some feat. We also spotted several other couples at different times but none came in close and so we decided to move on. This time we went to an Elephant seal breeding area. The viewpoint for this was about 200 ft above the beach and we were able to see about 200 different seals. These were split into four main groups with differing sizes in each group. That said we could see that there were about 10 males and the rest were ...

... dammit, weer mis. BANG, raak ha ha, dat zal die eikel leren! Bang en geschrokken gingen wij maar weer in de auto zitten. Motor aan en wegwezen. Alleen die ****ing poema hebben we dus niet gezien (oke, de orka´s zijn we ook misgelopen) en dus keerden we met lege handen terug naar Trelew om, maar weer eens het land over te steken, de reis heet niet voor niets Zig Zag Zuid Amerika, dit keer per bus en dat had meerdere redenen :-)

... Haut und Fett h**aus. Diese V**letzungen koennen sehr gefaehrlich sein fu** die Wale, denn die Moewen fressen unt** and**em auch im menschlichen Muell und ueb**tragen so viele Erreg** auf die Ti**e. D** Wal kann nichts machen, ** muss ab und zu auftauchen, um Luft zu holen. Es leben ab** kleine Krebsti**e auf ihr** Haut, die diese reinigen, und so helfen sie auch bei den Moewenwunden, diese zu saeub**n. Wir sehen imm** mehr Wale um uns h**um. Einige haben genug von uns gesehen und schwimmen ...

... of Spanish, could understand the plot and enjoy Joaquin Phoenix. Then came Knocked Up IN ENGLISH! with Spanish subtitles (rare) and it was a movie that I actually wanted to watch (usually the men seem to pick the movies and they are all very bloodthirsty and not really fit for the children on the bus... not to say this one was...). Was impressed by the heads in the picture at the end confirming that it was indeed a pirate copy - this is Argentina. And then the thunderstorm. I think ...

... Pirámides it became clear that it is an apt name for a company in the area. That night fluffy clouds were all outlined in neon pink and the sky was a gorgeous mauve. The sun became a massive orange glowing orb as it descended to the horizon. The sky was amazing at lots of other times and even the moon rising and setting was amazing, it also became a huge orange orb. Puerto Pirámides is the only settlement on the peninsula, situated behind a wide, flat black ...

... Hotel Rivadavia) and is the cheapest yet ($96 pesos = approx 20 euro) with private bath, satellite TV and cleaning each and everyday (new towels every day...a luxury not enjoyed until now!). Luckily we chose it via telephone and not from its exterior aspect. The red light sign would have put us off at night had we not known it was so nice inside...with a book exchange service also. At reception there is an old man (family of the owners) which spends his whole day there ...

... it was low tide and too early in the season. Also even at the perfect time and tide you apparently have to invest a couple of days of just sitting there waiting. In the parking lot at Punta Norte there are a bunch of pretty tame armidillo like critters, that run around and look for food that is dropped.

... They actually come quite close to the boat, so that you can really get a close up, see them breathing and diving. The best thing was when we saw one of them jumping, not only once but about ten times in a row. Very impressive how they lift the whole body out of the water, turn backwards and plunge in again! Today it was actually sunny again.... Yeaha, after one week of rain! And so I was able to see the rest of the island as well. We went to see a colony of ...
