After the cold of the national parks we slowly went a bit further north to escape the cold for a moment. Unfortunately (hm.. more or less :-) ) we need to be down there on the 8.3. again to step onto the boat we booked for a 4 days trip north along the chilenian fjords, which we booked earlier..
but in between we have now passed days heading north:
first we reached the east cost (piedra buena) where we wanted to visit nationalpark monte leon which is famous for a special rock fomation (unsere gute "olla" ) which looks like a giant ring of rock ..but in piedra buena they told us that this famous ring has collapsed last september... aha... hm...
so we continued to san julian where we could see .. NOTHING... hm... a town which really was so uninteresting...unbelievable.
then we did a day trip to an "estancia" with an excursion to caves with cave-paintings dating back 13.000 years.. this was really interesting! finally.. a successful mission again :-) ...
then we continued with a long nights bus drive up north to puerto madryn, where there is the national park "peninsula valdes" to be visited.
When we stepped off the bus yesterday we were so happy.. it was warm!!! JIPIIIIIEEHHH! we could walk without jackets and we saw people bathing in the sea and walking without shoes... woooowww..... today we could wear short trousers, t-shirt and sandals! perfect! we took a bike to view a colony of sea-lions which was sooo exciting.. they were.. all sleeping.... !!!! double-woooowww ;-)
on the way back mirko had a flat tire (.... too much chocolate ?? ;-) ) and we had to walk halfway back....
however: it was warm and sunny and we enjoyed the day very much!
we will drive south again on wednesday.... hear you!!!
Kisses! Renate & Mirko
