sure is it's kind of sad I mean we've really

enjoyed being here and this is only really our second full day so it was

more than cookies yeah but I mean it's completely different weather today -

it's not funny this is my kind of weather also I really enjoyed where

we've moved we've been staying in a more residential and commercial area mhm and

the plan for today well it's obviously going to include food because it's us

but we're also planning to visit the eco center which is one of the main

attractions here in puerto madryn and one thing that really surprised us

because we were going to try to visit yesterday is that it doesn't open till

5:00 p.m. right I think it's 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. yes another fact is we

couldn't visit yesterday because it was closed on - yes I believe it's open mind

or sorry Wednesday through Monday from 5:00 tonight yeah all week long except

for Tuesday so it's good it's good that we have this extra day originally we

weren't going to have this extra day and in the city from now that we do we can

go visit that and also on our agenda today is we want to try some Patagonian

lamb Sam shows the restaurant it's somewhere over our shoulder right over

our shoulder direction yeah I think it's called yeah Parador Yoaquina or something like

that and the cool thing is just it's like it was in a straight direction

right from our apartment yeah instantly can about four or five blocks away and

we've bought our appetite so let's go have some lunch

this

good start to the meal we've ordered a red wine selected by Sam let's see what

did you get this time it's Malbec of course always always done Estancia Mendoza

yeah all right we haven't had that one before have we

that's a new one so like we have an opportunity to try different different

bodegas different brands of wine we take that we take that take that opportunity

seriously how's the wine very nice I like it it's good it's gonna go really

nice with my pepperoni and mushroom risotto that I've ordered you having bread and

super-pumped bread and butter we had to have a nice little bread basket and me

oh it's meal sorry I don't even try to get this yeah that's quite common in

Argentina isn't it sometimes you get a garlicky butter other times you get them

like a kind of a mayo type of spread like some bread

come on I dipped it in gravy for you he's like what no thank you

it has gravy my friend he's like nope it was pets I get so sweet you look like

the dog from seventh heaven except he was white but you look like the same

kind of dog you talked in Spanish there

are you interested in Britain with gravy does that interest you

No

no idea I think they like the like a piece of Patagonian lamb I'm pretty sure

well guys all this talk about lamb lamb lamb we're gonna try Patagonian lamb in

the end only Sam got Patagonian lamb I saw a Patagonian risotto on the menu

and I was like that's it yeah we're sticking to the Patagonian

theme in onion theme yes we are going for the Patagonian food so I ordered a

risotto with shrimp and mushrooms wild mushrooms and it is so cheesy so creamy

I'm just so wonderful a really good selection I'm really happy with what I

ordered Sam my dish looks amazing very

impressive dish his has a really nice presentation to it so wait until you see

that I know and I just love how chill it is in the beets today got nice weather

we got a breeze it's cooled down considerably got reggae music in the

background we've got two dogs who befriended us one is still here the

other ones are roaming around on the sand

I've tried feeding them like I took some bread

yeah dipped it in Sam's gravy and offered it to them well we'll see what

happens when I offer it some Patagonian lamb they arrived with the family so I'm

pretty sure they're well fed pets they look well taken care of welcome you

there my friend check this out guys this is a thing of beauty the presentation at

this restaurant is is incredible so we have a skewer with bacon ya know locally

is pen setup we've got two of what appears to be like baked potatoes one of

them has the skin still on it I think it's old until they're golden and crispy

and then over here we have the Patagonian lamb yeah and apparently it

comes with plum and more bacon it's wrapped in bacon over here and also it

has a rich looking gravy as well so I can't wait to talk into that oh poor

things the pups had to leave they're not allowed at the restaurant off they go

that's so bad it's so sad they were sweet

they were the biggest out on the lamb the families are pups oh my gosh guys

I've been talking into this Patagonian lamb I can tell you that it's the best

lamb I've ever had in my entire life that's so good it is very fibrous and

tender the way it breaks aprender but it's good it's a bit fatty and it and

it's also got like the crispy skin the way it's been cooked with with the bacon

and that's such a nice gravy it's so good

so happy with this dish one of the best dishes we've had on her whole trip all

the potatoes are great hold them cooked to perfection a little crispy on the

outside I'm wishing in the middle you know we were debating getting some

appetizers and so what we did into otherwise we wouldn't have been able to

enjoy all of this boiling the means are very generous portions but the quality

is fantastic in the presentation you can just tell there's a lot of locked air

going into this I mean even look at the way there's been vinaigrette drizzled on

them on the outside of them yeah my plate - your plate - nicely decorated

being the Canadian that I am I'm gonna grab a little bit of bacon live on bacon

oh yeah that's the secret the bacon is always good guys Wow

wonderful dish definitely if you're here in this city and you're by this

restaurant come here and order this I'm have a feeling I'm gonna really like the

risotto cuz let's swap plates now I swapped I'm diggin right into this

sharing with Sam so excited for you to try this Audrey

it is like loaded with bacon in there like super stuffed it's so good like

sometimes they just give you one strip of bacon around the meat this one was

like stuffed with bacon and design I know so good okay

it's too good and sweet yeah actually chased the plums it's like a plum puree

he picked a winner with this one gotta say it doesn't get much better than this

by the beach nice nice weather it's chill it's not busy right now it doesn't

get busy here until the afternoon evening it's just so chill like this is

the ultimate experience here loving it I love you

risotto time is risotto so time check out the size of the prawns here

shrimp is make sure I get a nice big bite I want to make sure it's cheesy

look at the cheese strings and cheese stretching it's just like ultimate

comfort food isn't that way yeah on a day like today that's so nice to be

having a heavier dish it is no the heatwave is exactly I'm loving the

weather I'm loving the food just loving how the delicious this is I'm gonna help

when we're bite with the shrimp because you know what just can't get enough of

the shrimp here life is good people hole your shrimp in the city's excellent

pizza with shrimp recently went off showers good mm-hmm same size very good

stock very good stuff

alright guys we just paid the bill down at the beach now the total for that

wonderful meal that we barely finished came to 29 u.s. dollars yep not bad it

was delicious one of her favorite meals so far to be honest so to recap bread

basket full bottle of wine two really delicious means yeah yeah fantastic

we've just been having such a heavy meal so many days ago today we just decided

to reel it in a bit keep it lighter but the portions of the

means we're certainly filling in our asset yeah so now we're gonna go for a

little walk along the beach just walk off because I mean the wine just knocks

me out yeah the tides gone out oh so it is a bit of a walk to reach the water

the beach is just so wide I feel like I need to dip my feet in the water at

least once while I'm here since this is a coastal destination of seaside city so

walking walk into the water oh this is ice-cold yeah it's one of those things

where anytime I've seen anyone go in the water here in Argentina

they're like charge into the water because yeah you can't hesitate guys I

think you're gonna be amused by this this is my current tan it's the ultimate

farmers feet then I wear my Teva sandals TiVo TiVo I don't even know how it's

pronounced but that's the look how long have we been in Argentina a

month this is my one month we need you to go barefoot for a few days huh yeah I

just changed up my shoes

it is now time for our afternoon excursion we are visiting the eco-center

Fundación Ecocentro way they're almost there it's just around the bend

so we basically followed the boardwalk all the way out of town really I feel

like we're in the middle of nowhere it's a super super windy day and yeah we're

gonna see what the Eco Center (Fundación Ecocentro) is all about I'm not sure if it's a museum or

what's going on in there but we're gonna find out in a few moments

so this is a bit of an unexpected attraction but just before you reach the

eco center there's a little boardwalk that goes down to the shore where they

have some caves and this is where the Welsh settlers first disembarked and

kind of like created a temporary shelter so this would have been in the year 1865

guys we made it a bit of a walk to get there

and it should come as no surprise their first order of business is to grab some

food we notice they had a little cafe they do coffee these cakes like grilled

grilled sandwiches what are we having peoples we're having a tostada which is

a grilled ham and cheese sandwich getting a little scone and we're getting

yeah it's like a strawberry tart no it's made with quince Oh Marysia it's

kind of like a jam when did you good I really like it also we got we walked

almost a hard to get here so we're definitely hungry so they have a lot of

Welsh food on the menu but well because well

originally landed here yeah but we're gonna be getting into Walsh food a bit

later on you'll see in a few days yes thank I miss

you

well this is a lovely surprise we've reached the top of this lookout point Oh

looks a bit like a lighthouse you know couches or you can sit down

hasn't it been a cool museum in Puerto Madryn it's so cool

so worth it it's a little bit away from the center but it's so worth it coming

here yeah I mean just the displays are so fascinating mm-hmm every room is

completely different and now we can sit down and look out to see lovely

you
