Tolosa Puerto Madryn

... lazed on the beaches waiting for the females to arrive from the south. To top off a great start to our time in Puerto Madryn, we had a BBQ at the hostel where Gaston cooked up a treat – a BBQ to rival our earlier Brazilian BBQ!

Instead of going out on a traditional whale watching boat trip, Henry suggested we hire bikes and cycle the 20km to a beach to see the whales only 20m from the shore. The pebbled ...

... if you got to Argentina I would not recommend this dish. At all. I would also not reccomend, whether you are in Argentina or not, asking the American gitl who had just told you she is a veggie whether she "...had chance to try the amazing steaks (when you were) in Buenos Aires?", Egan. You dipshit.

Justine picked us up and asked us how the tour and the lunch was, we lied about the lunch.
The next dtop took us to the furthest pinacle of the coat line where we were ...

... del Plata to Bahia Blanca and then a bus to Puerto Madryn the following night. As smelly as it would make us when we reached Puerto Madryn, we decided on the second option as it took care of accomodation for two nights and it gave us the opportunity to (briefly) explore two cities we hadn´t planned on spending any time in. That decided and tickets bought for Bahia Blanca, we left our bags at the guarderia and headed out to spend the rest of the day in Mar del ...

... decided that I was staying in Buenos Aires for an extra week, so that´s exactly what I did! Although I didn´t do much:p I lazed around, and rested a lot, and at night of course partied with my friends:) Then! On monday I finally left Buenos Aires at 3 o´clock! I took a bus to Puerto Madryn where I arrived at 6.30 in the morning.... The only problem was, that i wasn´t supposed to arrive untill 9.20 so ther was nobody there to take me to my hostel! A phone call and 10 ...

... very proud of their heritage and keen that the language should continue. She gave me some links to old pictures and history about the Welsh settlers that I will include below for anyone interested: www.glaniad.com - contains photos and copies of documents from those that left Wales for Argentina www.edgold.co.uk www.youtube.com (search for y wladfa) - black and white footage of the town from the 60´s www.bbc.co.uk/wales (search for Patagonia ...

... our stuff close to the water so we could keep a good eye on it. After just 5 minutes I looked back and noticed the water had already reached our stuff. We ended up having to take turns every 10 minutes to move our stuff higher up on the beach. Once when I was on my way back into the water this little baby (maybe 1 year) who was playing in the sand stood up and started screaming. His parents were no where to be found. He was upset because the water was literally up to his ...

... was from the musical, so was really interested to see the life she lead and what she did for the country (Introduced Higher Wages, medical care and schooling for poorer familes and accomodation for people who had nowhere else to go - the musuem is housed on the site of one such place). Even when she died, at the age of 33, she still divided the country. Her body was taken by the workers union as they thought she was theirs, and then stolen from them by ...

... 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 & Punta Cormoranes. Busquem... busquem i... no trobem!!! quina decepció! Ens comuniquen que altres embarcacions tampoc no han tingut sort... renoi, i ahir van veure ...

... that close up! With crustaceans all over it`s face. It was really amazing. I never thought I would see anything like it. Next stop was to a point where you can see all of these elephant seals. It is the season when they molt so they were all laying on the sand, molting. They don`t move very much, except to occasionally flick a flipper to cover themselves in sand. Apparently, they are very far away from where there food is. So, when they come to ...
