Puerto Madryn !!

Hello there !!

Hahaha travelling makes me write a lot, I'm happy to spam you on facebook ;) So, what's up !?
3 days ago, I left to Puerto Madryn, "a bit" in south of Mar del Plata, say 16hrs of comfortable coche-cama trip. Coche-cama means "with inclinable bed-like seats oh yeah". 

I noticed something interesting... When a car tries to overtake another car whereas you can't see what is coming in front of you because of a curve or a hill, it's scary. Moreover if you are not driving the car. But I noticed that this was nothing compared to what you feel when you can clearly see that a car is coming in front of you, and the only thing bus driver does to avoid something bad is... blinking headlights. Well, I'm still alive !

Anyway, I slept a lot, but could take a few interesting pictures. I mean... I found them interesting !





 (cause I'm a gangster...)


Oops... a pregnant fly. RIP.








I came went to a maaarvellous Hostel called "El Gualicho", with the hugest garden, kitchen, and very nice lawn for spend time eating, drinking, or chilling out in hamacs. Great.
Well, when you say "Puerto Madryn", you immediatly think : "Peninsula Valdés", "Pinguinos", "Lobos de mar", and so on, don't you ? Well, here it is :



 Don't expect me to make any irrelevant joke.



Here are the Brits !

There is a space gate flavour, isn't it ?

 Oh deer... 







Enough balls to get all of'em satisfied ?



 Just in case you would wonder if it was really me strolling in this paradise...

Lion-like haircut, isn't it ?





Mate, don't sleep on your back when seagulls are flying above you after lunch...
You're lucky you weren't sleeping mouth wide opened !




Aaaaah damnit, these tourists kept chilling in this mother hugging corner instead of letting people take their own personalized pinguinized picture !

Fly me back home !








 OK, let's play a game : which is the difference between the picture on the left, and the one on the right ?
Answer : the timer -_-°





 Yeah, there is a lizard in this picture.



 A gray fox !!

 No, the color is real. No ozone layer, better blue in sky, better red in neck. 

 I bathed there.

The color was rather this one... Enjoy.


On the second day, we went to the famous Trelew (pronounce "tréléou") and its neighbour city Gaiman. Gaiman is the city in which the first Welsh settlers arrived a few years ago (barely 150, in fact, that's pretty recent) to found that city. This place is renouned for its "Tea Houses", which we didn't find. Too bad. Well, we found one of them, after 2 hours walking on the crual sun (the ozone layer is the thines here, but it's gonna be worse in Ushaia...). Very nice place, very "cosy", green, crammed with flowers and trees. But the only tea we could order was accompanied with cakes, biscuits, home made sweetshits, for a total cost of... 70Ar$. Yeah, 14€ to drink a tea in South America. I asked, that was the only formula possible. So, "Bye bye" was the only answer possible. At least, we could shoot a couple of nice pictures... 







 Respect... 
























Back in Hostel, I book my next destination (even more in South ! Hail Rio Gallego, End of the World, Ushuaia, Tierra de Fuego, hahahah !!! Well, a more news in a few days), had the most perfect chop suey sea food wok on the beach. Yep. Table in sand, bare feet at 10m from the sea, perfect moonrise and fresh air. And calm. Soooo enjoyable. 




 
Cyril was eating here. Oh yeah. 



See you !!
