Puerto Madryn

ok, so it was a while ago now but i'll try to remember what we actually got up to in puerto madryn! we were staying in this in a small hostel that kinda felt more like a hotel than a hostel but hey, at least we got a tv!

basically, our only reason for visiting this town was its proximity to the Peninsula Valdes wildlife reserve, so we booked ourselves onto one of the tours so that flo could get herself all excited about penguins and shit.

The next day we got ourselves up nice and early so that we could have our breakfast (the classic shitty coffee and stale bread) and be ready for our bus which was due to leave at 7:30. So we waited. and waited. (you can see where this is going) anyway, bus arrived at about 8:30, so either the guy who told me the time wasnt all that shit hot with his english or just thought that he was fucking hilarious!

anyway, ended up on the bus and quickly got chatting with a good group of people - 2 South Africans, an aussie and a kiwi, and spent the day cruising around the peninsula checking out the wildlife, a good collection of wildlife including Guanacos (a type of llama), Penguins, armadillos, foxes and a number of types of seal. which was nice.

towards the end of the day it started to piss it down which made the loose stone roads a bit dicey, well apparently it did, i managed to sleep through most of the time including a couple of occasions when we almost lost the bus off the side of the road!

The evening after the trip we arrange to meet up with the guys we'd met at a local bar and got a bit too pissed whilst being 'entertained' by a male stripper. thankfully we'd missed all bar the last of his performances so didnt have to put up with too much pain. ladies night apparently!


so another sore head for flo in the morning!
