Puerto Madryn……  🤷🏼‍♀️

One of the fastest growing cities in Patagonia with its elegant boulevard, stately buildings and sandy stretches of beachfront, a magnet for sun worshippers and eco-tourists. Sounds lovely………. or maybe not!

The previous day, we had our Commerson’s dolphin trip cancelled due to expected high winds.

Today, we were due to dock at 8 am. At 6.30, the port declared they were closed to all marine traffic as the winds were in the region of 50-60 mph.

Back to that spa then!

It is very rare to miss a docking like this. So glad it was today rather than cape horn or Ushuaia and that we had booked the penguin trip that day and not today’s trip!

The good news is that the wish to see Salvatore Hasard again came to fruition already. A bonus matinee in a rewrite of today’s schedules. Again, brilliant! A more than full theatre.

We also had a bonus talk with Milos. Short version – we are probably not alone!

In the words of Manuel, the cruise director….. we are somewhere!

By mid afternoon the clouds had lifted and another lovely sunset.

The evening’s entertainment was NYC3 with Shades of Buble. Three chaps putting their own spin on Buble tracks, well, as he is a bit of a karaoke artist, more like a few Buble tracks and a pile of other old classics. Very good! They finished with the best ever version I have heard of UB40’s (apparently that declares me still young!) “can’t help falling in love”, being a personal favourite as I had written an arrangement as part of my music GSCE final exam.

One thought on “Puerto Madryn……  🤷🏼‍♀️
