Sam, 7.

I am in Puerto Madryn and today I went on a tour of the Island nearby it isn´t really an Island as you can drive there but it seemed like an Island so that it is what I will call it on the Island I saw lots of wildlife including sealions elephant seals which aren´t really elephants and also whales the whales were swimming and messing about in the sea really near where I was standing which was amazing I wanted to jump in the water and swim with them but the water looked cold so I didn´t the whales seemed like fun as they spat water everywhere and kept flashing their tails above the water this made everyone very excited and I took lots of pictures I had a cheese and ham roll for lunch which I made myself after asking the nice lady for the ingredients in Spanish I worked out the money myself but the money I tried to use wasn´t made by the president of Argentina and was made my someone else I think using crayons and pens so the lady gave it back to me I will try to use it again as wasting pocket money makes me feel sad on my journey round the Island I met someone from Switzerland which is not sure if it is in Europe someone from Korea and someone from England which is the same country I come from they all seemed nice the man who took us round was also very nice and spoke English and Spanish he kept making jokes which I didn´t understand he said that all Elephant Seals do on land is sleep and breed and that was a good life sleeping gives me bad dreams and breeding sounds yucky so I think he is wrong he also said that a guanaco which is like an antelope boy lives with five girls which is expensive my mummy says my daddy never gives her enough money so I think he must be wrong again it is late now so I am off to bed I want to look through the photos I took today I hope they are good as if they are not I may cry but I think tears are proof of the soul so maybe that is Ok.

Love mummy and daddy...x
