Our last day was very peaceful. The calm continued, and what had taken us a long time the previous day was much quicker today. We were back in Puerto Piramides for lunch.
But of course, we stopped once again to play with the seals. I can easily imagine staying with them all day, they are a lot of fun to observe.
They were especially playful today, and came right to the kayak. One started biting on the camera that Julio had filming them underwater, one came to nibble on the handle on the tip of the kayak, they swam under the kayak and lifted it a little, which feels very impressive!
Baby seals learning to swim in a small pool created by the receding tide and little caves on the stone beach. They were a riot to watch! They cry like lambs.
This one practically came to my face! They stick their necks out really far, and look and look, then breathe loudly and take off pirouetting.
Julio watching the babies.
We went straight back to Puerto Madryn when we landed in Piramides, and spent some time cleaning out 4 days' worth of salt and sand off our kayaks and gear. Then a shower was very welcome!
We had a farewell dinner in the same restaurant where we ate the first night (the food is so good there, almost as good as what Julio makes) and I went to sleep for my last night here. Tomorrow, I grab a bus to Buenos Aires, where I will meet Christine, and then I fly home...
But not without memories!
