We took a double decker bus from Las Grutas to Puerto Madryn. It was a three hour ride, and uneventful, with the usual desert landscape to watch. We arrived in Puerto Madryn, and set up camp. This city actually feels like people can live here. Las Grutas was truly a tourism town, with hardly anything going on outside of the summer. Here, there is movement! We took a walk along the gorgeous coastline, and ate some gigantic empanadas at Miguelitos. We tucked in for the night, and found that it was less cold here than Las Grutas too! We all slept comfortably.
The next day, we had rented a car, to make the long trip around Penisula Valdes. The trip took us from 10 AM from Puerto Madryn until 10 PM at night. The roads were mostly rubble, but the animals were worth it! Unfortunately, there were no whales to be seen, and the killer whales thought the waves were too rough to make the trip in shore to eat some seals. We did see the seals, and the penguins, and sea elephants. It was incredible, although we couldn't get too close for obvious reasons. The sea was super blue, quite a contrast to the tan land. The town in Puerto Piramides was a quaint little town that we are considering just taking a day trip to. It is within some mountains, and overlooks the sea, so the vistas are breathtaking!
Tomorrow it is off to Trelew, and today, we are going to rent some bikes, and see if we can see some dolphins in the harbor!
