Peninsula Valdés

Hey all. Yesterday we had an amazing day.
It started Saturday night, when we left my family at the Bahia Blanca bus station, and took the night bus to Puerto Madryn. We got there around 6 a.m. and were picked up to a whole day tour.
First we got on a Zodiac (rubber boat) in a place called Puerto Pirámide, and went for whale watching.



It was an undescribable experience - the best was when a 16m. whale went below our boat, and then lifted her tail on the other side, while her baby whale (only 8-10m.) rose to water level just on our side, and gave us a shower while exhaling from the back of its head.







Apart of whales we saw seals:



cormorans:



gulls:









Penguins:







Elephant seals:





and also guanacos, maras and even a blond skunk.

It was a really beautiful day, and everything was perfect.
At night we got back to the bus station, saw Argentina beat Peru on TV, and left for a 14 hours ride to San Carlos de Bariloche (a.k.a BARILOCHE).

That`s it for now. I have to go eat some chocolate.

Love,
Gaby

I am so envy you.
Especially because you are in familiar places that are writen in my mind forever.

Keep having fun and I will make you suffer for this when you get home (only Gaby will suffer, Yael is OK because she had never been to Argentina before).
