Puerto Madryn Day 3

Today was a rest day, but we still saw some very interesting things.

We went for a walk up to the headland east of our hotel. The first Welsh settlers landed here in 1865. There is a monument and a small park where they landed.

These are the remains of the cave homes they lived in until they became established.

On the way back to the hotel we were lucky enough to see Orcas feeding in the bay. They were quite far out but it was wonderful fun to watch them. Orcas are the one animal we didn’t get to see when we visited Puerto Valdés yesterday. So we were very excited to see them today. I took about a million pictures, mainly of tails. But Duke got one really good picture of one out of the water.

For dinner we went to a bar across from the hotel and had empanadas.
