We arrived to Puerto Madryn kind of late, but we did. For this port we didnt have any tour, we were deciding to which place to go: Punta Tombo or Punta Valdés.
When we get off the ship their were many tour guides, we ask one and we decide that we are go to Punta Valdés. The way was kind of long but she explain us very good all abouth the zone and animals.
Finally we arrive in Punta Valdes, it was great, you can see more penguins that in Ottway Sound in Punta Arenas and it was 15 c. You can also sea all kind of animals, sepcially the sea elephants, oh gosh it was many of them and you could see them like 3 or 4 meters of distance. There is a path were you can see this animals in the beach.
There is also a cafeteria or restaurant, their cakes also excellent not like in Ushuaia but very good. Well this is a short review of what happen. In the way back we saw strange animals in the land.
So after all it was a good tour, saw 3 types of animals instead of just penguins. I love this place.
Oh and we have the luck of meeting some colombians very nice, that we lend them 25 dollars they pay us the 25 plus a 25 decoration of the flower shop. What a good friends.

Day 9- At sea. Dec 29
Well this day we need it for our relaxion, so me and my kids, went to the T-pool, they didnt play, it was very relaxing, also for them, but they were other teens that were playing and the pool butler pass many times and didnt say anything, and poor adults because the other pool was closed because the cold.
One thing I didnt is that the salt water was very salty, so we also went to the jacuzzis were that water was better.
And today we play Bingo, our first time with electronical machines, in two times we almost won, but you know, we always loose.
In the whole day I was everywhere in the stores, I even bought a creme for the face wonderfull very good.

Day 8- Ushuaia Dec 28
I arrive at Ushuaia early, for my luck we docked, and the ncl sun did not, jaja. We have breakfast in the Trellis to try it, it was good but not excellent, their eggs were just plastic, well it was kind of better than the buffet.
For this port we want it to go to the National Park but we didnt have a tour, but no problem, as you arrive to the port plenty of city tours or other tours will be there, just one thing its just more the transportation because they dont explain you very well. But this port is just wow, you can see many views, this was the best tour for people who love nature. From the port was like 30 minutes or less, when we arrived you can choose where do you want to go, first we arrive in a lake, weres theres the post office, you will think it will take months, but its faster than from Europe, after this we went to more panoramic sites, very good, I just loved it and theres a Cafeteria, you need to eat the cakes. We also went to see beavers, but we only saw the thing they destroy, this animal is not for this place. Then we return to the city, oh and I was short this place its amaizing I recomend it at all.
When we get at the city we have a problem, no money, we only have Chile Pesos, and Mexican Pesos, no dollars or argentine pesos, so I need it to go the ship, my kids stay in the car its very secure, and then I return, and incredible for 3 or 4 persons its 100 dollars in the cruise tours 95 dollars per person, but I recomend the ship tour for solo travelers.
At the final they leave us at the Prision Museum where is next to the Marine Museum, nice to see, it takes you like 30 minutes. Then you can go walking for 10 minutes and we arrived to the port.
Its excellent this port this is one of the main ports I think its the one where it get more ships.
For the next of the afternoon we just rest and then went to have dinner at the Trellis, I loved this place

Day 7- 27 Dec. Punta Arenas
Well for luck we had a tour with Celebrity in this port,and its better when is tender, recomendation: try to buy a tour of the ship when the ship is tender. Well because that we need it to be early in the Theater we have breakfast in the room, not so good, but acceptable. After that we went to Theatre and from there we were rapidly escorted to the boat, this was fast.
Arriving to the port, we went to bus for our tour to Penguins of Ottway, while in the driving of 45 minutes, our guide explain us many things about Chile, well and specially about the place, she also talk us about history about why it is named Tierra del Fuego. Well it was a long drive and many people slept. When we arrive to the Ottway Sound it was very cold, so we bought some hot chocolates, then we have an hour to walk there, well it was so cold that we kind of run, so it will be faster, and to enter in heat. But I was disapointing, like I see this penguins have a lot of cold like we that we didnt saw many, I recomend to do another thing in this port, but well, it doesnt matter. Then the bus left us in the center of the town, were there were many seller.
Oh and here was the problem, we want it to eat in a restaurant, but guess what, all were full, you need it to wait a lot, I imagine, its because there was another ship. Well because we didnt find a restaurant we went to the ship walking. Well for the reuturn the problem here was that it was very cold, we didnt have any problem of waiting, we wait like 15 minutes with a hot chocolate, but I heard that when you need it to wait more Celebrity start to call 65+ age and little kids because of the cold.
Well it was a nice port, I should suggest to do another thing.
We also have a dinner in the Trellis, with the two couples.

Day 6 - 26- At sea. (Strait of Magellan)
Well I really dont lknow what to put. Well this was more like a boring day, not a relaxion day, because, I just remember that we went to the BINGO, we loose, ohh, and well, nothing else. And we also decide it to went to the Trellis to try to eat other than the buffet food, some days were good but many days oh no. It was a nice day in the Strait, and I thought we were going to see many glaciers but I didnt saw anyone, people told me they saw some, but it was cold to be out there looking for.
Well toomorrow we will tender, oh no, in Punta Arenas

Day 5-25- At sea
Well we woke up a little late, because of the night before, this day it had many things, like Santa come in the Theater, but just in the morning, they also have some activities for all the family. Like decorate a cookie, and more things, also all day they were other xmas perks. What something I like were some photos, but they were very expensive, 20 bucks for each one, imagine, well some were good especially the proffesional of designs in the back part.
I dont remember something special, well it was a relaxion day, just there, again my daughter went to the Fun Factory, and my 13 boy went to the Teen Club, but everyone have like 14 or more, so he is shy, so he went, but for the next time he will be bigger. I think that is a problem also that the 12 are not teens.
Well the day finish up, a little boring for my son, but well it finishe and we didnt went to the Trellis.
