The bus ride was very comfortable in Carma class. Although the landscape that passed by my window was extremely monotone, they entertained us with movies and served coffee and sandwitches.
Puerto Madryn as typical Beach-Touristy Place. On one of the Mainroads you find one tour seller after the other. The Town has some very good restaurants for fish and beef. Besides that, you can only go on the Peninsula Valdez or down to Punto Tombo. I did the last thing, because its not whale watching season anymore, and in Punto Tombo are still a couple thousand Penguins left.
On the way south we stopped at the coast and hopped on a boat to search for Commerson´s Dolphins. They are only up to 1,6m long and therefore belong to the smallest dolphins in the world. Once we found them, they played around our boat and it was a pleasure to watch them. But they jumped very rarely, so I took about 50 shots to get these few good ones. I love my digital SLR camera, it´s perfect for this.

I can´t write more, just enjoy the pictures. I have to catch the bus to Buenos Aires in an hour.

PS.: "No bad man" I felt pretty safe on the streets even at night. I hope it stays like this even in Buenos Aires. Although I heared different stories... about People getting shot in the hostel... oh well.. wish me luck!
