Valdes Peninsula - Patagonia, Argentina

From Buenos Aires we travelled on a overnight bus (the others took a flight and were delayed again for hours AND the airline lost their bags!) to Puerto Madryn. On a trip to the Valdes Peninsula we were lucky enough to see two mother and infant whales as the whale season is at it's end with them swimming south to Antarctica. It was amazing to see them only a few metres from the boat. We also got to see penguins, armadillos, guanacos, grey foxes, elephant seals, rheas, patagonian hares and sea lions.

The excitment is too much for some of us!

Lucas and Jonah have been inspired to go and draw yet more pictures of whales! They are off to draw pictures of a killer whale and a penguin and then they will send it to you both. All I can say is fantastic and inspiring. I will email the pictures when we get home again. xx
