PUERTO DESEADO, ARGENTINA

Puerto Deseado is a sleepy little town that gets 1 cruise ship, every 3 months. There is not a lot to do there, but it is home to a large colony of Rock Jumper penguins, seen here. We have to tender in from this port and wave swells are so high that it is not safe for us to tender to port our second day there. This was a bummer for us because a group of about 30 of us had planned and excursion out to see the rock hoppers up close and personal. Several others got to see them on our first port day, so we have their photo's to live vicariously. We did get some amazing sunsets and rainbows the last couple of days despite the choppy seas.

Friday nights at Eco Cove Resort are sunset excursion time. All the guest are taken over to tiny Yeben Rock Island. This time the tde ws coming in quickly and alot of the island was already covered by water but that didn't dampen our party! We had a cooler of beer this time too! We also have become feriendly with the 2 families that were there sharing with us.
