A snow-white landscape turned up when I got in to Barilotchein southern Argentina, a great skii-area in south America. I fell like home immediate with "alphouses", snow and chocolate shops surrounding me. Almost like salzburg.  Had a walk down at the lake looking at the snow peaks all around. Sweetness. Even my hostel was good, loved it. Went up for some skiing one day, ( shouldnt tell you that I forgot my card so I couldn't. To embarrassing to tell.. ) good day anyway, strolling around up there a bit frustrating to see everyone with there skii's and I couldn't. Big fail.  We were catching a afternoon bus to puerto madryn so that was my only opportunity and I missed it. Oh !  It wasn't great with snow so I should just think it wouldn't been good enough.. We had a twenty hours bus ride for PM, out on the Argentinian coast. A lot warmer and no snow. ( have to say it was my worst bus ride in Argentina so far.. ) we spend a good three days there. Walking on the beach looking out over the wales. They get really close to the beach. Not more than forty meter away so you could easily hear there blowing air out and splashing there fins in the water. Cool. We even went one hour away on the cost and did a boat trip to see them. Actully we saw them as good on the beach. Got a bit closer on the boat thoe, like ten meter away. All I wanted to see was a jump and a got loads of them. So I was pleased. New a bit what to expect since I was in New Zealand. Nick on the other hand was a bit unhappy about it.  It's not the biggest wales, the southern right wale can still get up to eighteen meter so pretty massive. Too bad it was the off season for the penguins, wanted to see them, they have the sexing biggest penguin population outside Antarctica but like I'd said before. Next time. From shewing coca-leafs and drinking 96% alcohol in Bolivia we're gonna enjoy some good steaks, wine and parties in Buenos Aires. - Nervous.
