Well, ended up staying in Comodoro Rivadaria for the night as the bus connection I was supposed to get isn`t until this evening!!!

Never mind though, it gave me the opportunity to go to Rada Tilly and walk 5 kilometres to Punta del Marques and the `Mirador de la Loberia`, basically a watching point for elephant seals.  It was a lovely walk and I got to see lots of elephant seals, only trouble was I was at the top of the cliff and they were at the bottom, so could only see them from a distance and don`t really think I got any good pictures.  Yes this is a picture of some elephant seals.  What look like little pebbles on the lighter coloured rock are infact seals, loads of them!!!!

I had been told there was a great cake shop in the town so I then walked to find it, only to be told that the shop had shut at 1pm and wouldn`t open again til 5.30pm, and it was 3.15pm, so decided to get the bus back as there was nothing else to do and write up my blog and here I am!!!

Must say it was a lovely unspoilt town, fairly new, I think all the young up and coming rich from Comodoro are moving here to build beautiful houses and bring their children up in the peace and quiet of the area.  The beach is magnificent and so clean.  It was almost empty when I was there.
