Posada del Catalejo Puerto Madryn

Hola! I´m sorry for not writing anything for so long, but honestly there hasn´t been much to write! After my last day of course I went to a Boca juniors match (vs. Newells Old boys) which they LOST! 0-2 to be exact:S Other than that it was definately an experience. We had standing places, in the blistering sun, with sooo mny people around us, I almost fainted because of the heat! It was 36 degrees... Anywaysz, definately very happy that I went :) At that point I had already decided that I was...

Yes! I know, 2 blogs in a row, it´s amazing:p Today I visited Punta Tombo, the penguin reserve... It´s a must-see for everyone! We set of at 8 in the morning and first went to this tiny little port town called Rawson. There wasn´t much to see, but had brunch sitting by the sea, and it is a very typical Argentine village:) When we were about to leave however, the car stopped working! So spent another hour waiting for it to be fixed:P Finally we were of again though! Punta tombo is about 200 or...

Am Nachmittag des 13. Januar hiess es dann Abschied nehmen von El Calafate und via Flugzeug nach Trelew zu fliegen - das sind rund 1´000 km Luftlinie. Damit war meine Reise ab** noch nicht beendet, denn mein eigentliches Ziel war PUERTO MADRYN, etwa 60 km vom Flughafen Trelew. Natu**lich hatte A**olineas Argentinas (ihr ahnt es b**eits...) auch beim dritten Flug V**spaetung. Langsam wurde ich echt sau** auf die Airline, v**suchte mich dann ab** zu b**uhigen, indem ich mir einredete, dass ich ...

Hola amigos! We've been almost too busy to blog lately, which I suppose is actually a good sign, but means this update is super chockful of adventures and loaded with photos (and a double haiku to start)! Tucked in the Andes Bron gets back to her roots with Cake, cake, and more cake. Then out to the coast New friends to share cake with, plus Penguins! Penguins! Whales! After our vigorous biking and hiking in Bariloche, we thought we'd take it easy for a while and find somewhere to relax. Ima...

We were glad to get to Puerto Madryn, formally a welsh town that grew up as the main whaling port in Patagonia. Glad to get here as we planned to chill here for a while as we had been doing a lot of travelling recently and were very deprived of sleep. Staying in the comfort of a hostel was our main priority that night and eating something different to ham and cheese sandwiches, as all they seem to eat here and that´s all they sell at bus stations. Discovering a camp site 5km from town was goi...

Puerto Madryn was also going to be about animals and it didn´t disappoint. The first day was made up of a tour around Peninsula Valdes. This started with a whale watching tour - it was wicked to see the whales so close. We followed a mother with it´s calf for the hour and got lucky when it breached about 5 metres from the boat - did **** it when it looked as if it was goiong to land on us for a second!

Next we went to see the Elephant seals who, as far as I can work out, go out ot sea ...
