Ciudadela

So we wake up at 1030 and it is absolutely chucking it down, so as good our intentions of exploring are, tthere is no way we can go out with the weather. When you are travelling, there is now ay that you can plan more than a few days at a time as things change on an hourly basis let alone a day. I must admit I have found this really had to get used to as my head is stuck in a regimental format that no matter how long i travelled for i dont think id get out of it(but i will updtate you on this throughout the trip) luckily at 3 pm the weather clears up and we finally get to discover the pretty town of Carmelo. It literally takes all of 2 hours with a walk across the crank handled swing bridge down to the beach. The beach has lots of greenery and not very clean water , and little fishing boats and a bloody huge yacht line the other side of the Peninsula. We walked a different way back, and stumbled across The Zoo. To be fair for the size of the little town, it was quite impressive. They had llamas ducks sheep, goats , coatis ,pheasants ,peacocks and even beavers. The zoo was surrounded by a large fence and there was no actual access, but everything was visible. As we walked ast the entrance one of the workers opened the gate to collect the grain left outside and he was so busy making sure the llamas didnt escape he didnt see the goat run through his legs. Well for the next ten minutes he made avery attempt to get this goat, but totally unsuccesfully so me mark and another couple put our herding skills into practice eventually getting the goat back into the zoo. Mark and i laughed that he would still be chasing the goat after dark had we not been there. We went from here to book our ferry to Buenes Aires only to find the 1330 one wasnt running and the only ferry back was at 430 in the morning. Change of plan again, we dicide to take the bus back to Colonio and get the ferry from there at 9 . A couple of drinks finished our evening and an early bed for a busy day tomorrow.Read more
