Whale watching in Peurto Madry

Went on a tour to a place called Peninsula Valdes which is an hour or so drive from where we currently are in Puerto Madryn.

First stop was to visit some elephant seals. It's currently mating season, so there are a few bulls on the beach with their harems



and a few pups.



But the highpoint of the day was going out on a boat to do some whale watching.





You can find some more photos here.

Hey mate, that is fantastic. From ski runs in the Andes to whales in the ocean! That is an experience you will remember!
The seals were only sleeping, right?

They are sleeping, honest, though I do have a lovely pair of new gloves and a fur hat...
