Given that the season is really over here, we have been lucky with the weather. Out of the week we’ve been here, we only had one rotten day (the day after we arrived) and one with a sunny morning and then very cold in the afternoon, so we can’t complain.

On Monday, a friend of a friend of Venetia, Alfredo, picked us up and took us into La Barra to see the Museum of the Ocean. We had seen it mentioned online, but it turned out it was owned by Alfredo’s brother, Pablo. It’s a fascinating place, created and maintained by Pablo himself, obviously a labour of love. It has animals, birds, shells, pictures of Punta in the past, a room about pirates, and even an old fashioned bathing machine! Here are a few photos, including a visitors’ book just for children — I loved that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Port

After having lunch and taking care of the dogs, we set off again and headed for the port. There we saw a bunch of sealions who were hilarious, and a fine selection of fresh fish for sale.
