Puerto Madryn

It's Thursday, March 27th and we wake this morning to find our ship docked in Puerto Madryn.  The sun is out, blue skies and warm temperatures.  As we head off to explore Puerto Madryn it must be at least 70 degrees.  

It's a beautiful city.  Sitting around the sea.  

When you leave the city it is very flat and dry.  We head to the monument that commemorates the settlers from Wales that settled here back in 1865.  

When they first arrived they dug out caves where they first lived before constructing houses.  You can still see the remnants of these.

We then walk to the Eco Centre which is fairly new but very informative.  Fantastic views from this area.

It's a long walk back to the ship but we walk on the beach since the tide is out.  

We stop for a cold drink and a chance to use the WiFi.  Little grand baby is due tomorrow and I want to keep up with what is happening.  So far all is good.

Every night our cabin boys make up a different animal out of towels.  Here is our penguin!

Doesn't really compare to the real thing but it's sweet!
