The dolphin spotting boats were quite different from the vessels that take tourists to see the whales.
I was warned that dolpins would be difficult to photograph. This was quite right, but I did get this snap of a commerson´s dolphin.
And this one of another dolphin by the bow of the boat.
Another view of Patragonia. There is lots of Patagonian steppe like this. It extends all the way to Tierra del Fuego.
My only photograph of a guanaco. My apologies for the poor quality. It only stood still and in range long enough to be photgraphed because it was having a scratch. I can report that a guanaco´s hind leg is not a very precise instrument for attacking an itch.
Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus).
This couple has found a desirable residence beneath a thorn bush. (The second penguin is in the bottom right of the picture.)
There´s no shade in the poorer neighbourhoods.
Both parents care for the eggs and, later, the chicks. Although two eggs are laid it is rare for both chicks to fledge.While one bird minds the kids the other is at sea fishing.
"It looks cold.""Nah. It´ll be all right once you´re in."
"You first, then."
"No, you."
"I´m gonna be sick ..."
The only monkey puzzle tree I´ve seen so far. It was in Gaiman.
The sign at the first Welsh tea shop in Gaiman.
And the sign hung out by the other first tea shop. They are just around the corner from each other.Maybe they should settle the question once and for all with stale scones at ten paces ;-)
I patronised another of the numerous tea houses. This rather gloomy picture is tea for one. Note the size of the teapot! I did not require a large dinner that night.
