Hotel Rayentray Puerto Madryn

... og en lang tur langs havnen.<br>Uruguay var ikke helt saa "uciviliseret" (i hvert frald ikke den del vi naede at se) som jeg maaske havde forventet, faktisk et rigtig paent land, men turen i bussen ud af byen og gennem landet boed ogsaa paa slum og mange uviligeholdte bygninger, smaa huse og et utal af gamle rustne biler!<br><br>Vi tog tilbage til Buenos Aires soendag morgen. 3 timer i bus og en ...

... whenever I took a brief two seconds to change something on my camera, would shout "T! What you doing!? You're not even looking at the whaaaale!!". We took a stroll around the pier and were very happy to be in lovely (and windy) Patagonia.<br><br>After admiring the sunset, we went back home for some home-cooked grub courtesy of Tiago Gordon Ramsay Pedro, accompanied by a 40 pence bottle of wine. We met one of our hostelmates who had been on a tour around the Peninsula Valdes natural ...

Well... before we get onto the real story, we have yet another bus incident! You would swear we make these up as we go along but its unncanny how there just seems to be something ridiculous about every bus trip! This time, it had a sad side too...<br><br> We got stopped at a regular checkpoint along the road and as luck would have it, a sniffer dog was there. His name was 'Mak' and it turns out he was reasonably good at ...

We made it to Argentina after a 28 hour bus journey. Reckon that was the longest one yet. We both coped with it OK though despite Helen having a bad cold. We have been staying here in Puerto Madryn as it is central to two places we wanted to visit. Puerto Madryn was the place where the fist of the welsh settlers landed back in the early 1800s. They established a farming community 60km inland from hear called Gaiman. On Tuesday we caught the bus ...

... Death sentence it was called, so don´t go see that...:P Then today I had a 7.45 pick up for my excursion to the Peninsula Valdes! It was good, but tiring:D A lot of driving around to get everywhere, as the peninsula is HUGE! So first of all, we went to see the sea lions! And there were masses and masses of them! Little seelions hopping around the place and the coastline was just overwhelmed by them:) All right, maybe I´m embellishing it a little bit, but that was my ...

... and nuts - this, I have noticed, is available at all good supermarkets in the region for close to 5 quid!! Gaiman itself was disappointing. There were some old Welsh style houses but these were few and far between. There is a museum here (in the old train station), the lady here said that the Welsh was still spoken by a few and it is taught in schools and could be studied to a higher level in Trelew. She herself was taking classes, they ...

... well as dolphins and whales. We are going to try and get out to see some but it is a bit restrictive and expensive to get close access since they are heavily protected, plus we are hoping to come across some in New Zealand. Yesterday we walked out to the EcoCenter that had all sorts of information about the local Patagonian coastal wildlife. Pretty interesting stuff. Today we went back to the beach (again, not much to do in the area). The tide was out when we got there and ...

... pot navegar al matí, per tant ens dirigim cap a Puerto Pirámides que és des d'on surten les embarcacions. Ens donen un paravents gegantí i, un salvavides i tots cap amunt. La mar està tranquil.la, però tot i així, es nota prou moviment de vegades. Doncs ens endinsem al mar a les 11am cap al Golfo Nuevo &amp; Punta Cormoranes. Busquem... busquem i... no trobem!!! quina decepció! Ens comuniquen que altres embarcacions tampoc no han tingut sort... renoi, i ahir van veure ...

Our hotel in Puerto Madryn is very nice, but some distance from the town center, so after a quick shower, we hopped in a cab and headed for the center of town. We walked around for a bit then went to dinner at the Cafe Classico. Boo had spaghetti with meat sauce and I had ravioli. Very good. After dinner, we searched out an ice cream store. They didn't have any vanilla, so Boo had chocolate which she ...
