It back into Argentinean country next with the next port of call being Puerto Madryn. Puerto Madryn is in Argentina’s Patagonia region and is quite a large city of more than 73,000 people. We booked ourselves onto a tour to visit the Welsh Heritage in the area. This was a two-hour drive through the Chubut River Valley to Dolavon which is a small town with a lot of Welsh influence. The Welsh settled in the area in 1865 hoping to create a New Wales. After Dolavon we visited a farm that produced raspberries, strawberries, cherries, peaches and apples. We will both remember this place well as it was home to mosquitoes by the thousands. We were both glad to be back on the bus where we headed for the small town of Gaiman for traditional Welsh tea at a place called Ty Gwyn which is supposed to be the oldest Welsh teahouse in the region. The staff were all dressed in traditional Welsh dress and we were entertained by a choir singing both Welsh and Argentinian songs. They were excellent and finished off a nice day out. After it was back on the bus and back to the ship. As it was a full day tour the bus drove through the town a bit and a few of us got off in town to have a quick look around before going back to the ship. There didn’t seem to be a lot to look at in the town, though there were lots of outdoor clothing and hiking shops in the town as well as tour operators offering all types of trips. Seems to be bit of a staging area for the adventurous outdoor travelers to come to.
