Terrazas De Mar Puerto Madryn

... planlagte tur paa hesteryg paa stranden ved solnedgang aflyst og vi havde i stedet en dag indenfor paa vores hostel med en god bog og ild i kaminen. <br>Loerdag stod vi tidligt op for at naa bussen til Paloma kl.06.45, men den ankom aldrig og efter et par timers venten kom vi i stedet paa en direkte bus til hovedstaden Montevideo. Her blev der tid til en gaatur rundt i byens centrum, at se byens ...

... inheritage and that we could have used Jemma Welshness to wing an upgraded room or something. However, as it turned it out she was of Italian descent like most of the others...so we didn't even get a free Welsh cake.<br><br>Once we'd finished moving in to our new home, we took a walk down to the beach (a whole 200 yards) and much to our delight and surprise, there was a whale right off the cost - less than 20 metres from shore. We both got very excited about this, especially Jemma ...

... circle infront of you was pretty special; we will just have to keep whale watching on our to do list...<br>Oh, remember the parcel we didnt manage to post in BsAs, well we still have it as we arrived in Puerto Madryn on a National Holiday (post office closed), which thanks to swine flu was extended 3 extra days (governments attempt to keep people isolated by giving them time off work) meant we couldnt post the sodding thing again!<br><br>

... was a little interesting was MEF,a museam where they have a lot of dino bones that they found in the area. In the evening I regretted not going on the pinguin excursion as I heard they were so cute but I am sure I will have anothere opportunity to see these cute animals.

... later, my ride arrived after all, and at the hostel I went straight to bed for a couple more hours:D The hostel is adorable! Lots of turquoise and orange everywhere:) and a little garden/courtyard:P I´m sharing a room with an Israeli girl and 2 Dutch guys, all of which are nice:) Yesterday we all cooked together (yes, I cook) and afterwards went to see a film with Erik (one of the dutch boys). It only cost 5 pesos, which is a good thing as the film was absolutely ...

... cake. Admittedley the Welsh must make more than one sort of cake but I had pinned my hopes on the ones my gran used to bake (like flat scones that are cooked on a griddle - I believe you can also now buy these in M&amp;S - surely a testament to their fame). Sadly I don´t think I hid my disappointment very well, not even the very cute kittens could make up for it. The cake was very good (black welsh cake), it was like a moist fruit cake with ...

... to the beach, we were surprised at how big and empty it was. It was at high noon and the tide was out. When we returned later in the day around 5pm, the tide had come in and there was only a few 100 feet of beach and there wasn't one empty spot on the sand. All the locals arrive about 3pm and stay until around 8pm. There are all sorts of wildlife in this area too. Just outside of town is Peninsula Valdes with a penguin colony of over 1,000,000, multiple sea lion colonies ...

... is no real rail network in Argentina, people use coaches to travel around. We had booked Cama class which is basically a reclining seat. The bus wasnñt that busy and we did have plenty of room - I must admit, give me a 16 hour coach trip in cama class anyday, far more comfortable than flying. We had a meal on the coach, and managed to get a good few hours of sleep!.So, we are now in Patagonia and will update you all shortly, hopefully with some pictures this time Adios

... 1 Stunde Verspaetung nach Buenos Aires. Dilluns XXIX - XII - MMVIII Avui toca fer l'excurisó per veure ballenes! Quina emoció! Anirem a la Península Valdés. Ens venen a buscar després d'esmprzar a les 8.15am. Al entrar a la Península hem de pagar l'entrada al parc que, com sempre, es diferent el preu pels argentins que el preu pels forasters. El triple! Ens dirigim al centre d'interpretació que és un petit museu que hi ha a l'entrada. Allà ens diuen que el nostre ...

... coastline of Argentina."<br><br>"At Sea Friday 26th January 2007 <br><br>Throughout the night we continued on our 227° course until 0427 when we once more adjusted our tracks onto a 232° heading. Our position at noon was 40° 31.9 south and 059° 27.7 west. For the duration of the day we paralleled the coastline of Argentina, passing Bahia Blanca at around 1500. As midnight approached we neared the Valdes Peninsula, which marked our entry point into the Golfo Nuevo."<br><br>
