Day 51: Architecture in Puerto Madryn

Today was a rather slow day - there isn't all that much to see in Puerto Madryn, but the bus to El Calafate left only at 6pm.

I noticed one funny thing, however. Walking along the seaside and looking at rich people's houses, it occurred to me that for every 100 houses, there are at least 90 different architectural styles to be observed.



In an over-regulated country like Germany, this simply wouldn't happen due to the "Bebauungsplan" (a binding land-use plan). But in my opinion, it makes strolling through the streets so much more interesting - why should everything have to be uniform all the time?
