arrived in puerto madryn its nicer than mar del plata the beach is more or less the same but its not as busy as mar del plata it has alot of different places to get the excursion to peninsula valdes which is a wildlife park we saw southern right whales 2 adults and 1 calf it was really cool the whales came right up to our boat like one meter away and kept putting their fins and tails up got some great pictures of them the water was clear so when they were quiet close up you could see their whole bodies under the water, then we saw some mallegenic penguins and elephant sea lions one of the highlights was when 9 orcas were spotted by the penguins we could see them keep coming in close to the shore line so they must have been hunting as they drive the fish into the beach to collect them there were loads of birds following them to get all the reminents i suspect then they went further out to see and were jumping out of the water so we could see their white bellys it was amazing. and soo soo cool seeing them in their natural habitat doing what theyre meant to do, instead of in some nasty sea world performing for fish,

The hostel we stayed in was the best so far that we have stayed in the guys who own it are really nice i went out with claudio one of the owners and his friends and puerto madryn has some very nice pubs and clubs one place we went to had enterence onto the beach so if you got to hot inside you can go and chill and watch the moon on the sea very very nice better than destinys in watford any day, claudio practices voodoo tho he put a spell on my flights from el calafate to mendoza by telling me they were to cheap so when i went to book the flights low and behold they had trebeled in price i think i saw him making potions in the kitchen one day as well ha haha
