Finding Penguins

Booked ourselves on a penguin tour for this morning. Every boy has a dream. While it was neither mine nor Louis' to see penguins, we had a spare day so might as well.

Tour takes you to Magdalena Island, home to the Magdalena penguins. Not cheap - around $100 NZ. You spend 2 hours on a ferry there and can stay on the island for 1 hour. Over a $1.50 per island time minute. You do get very close to the waddling penguins however (see photos).

We're back in Punta Arenas by the way. Nothing's changed here and probably won't for the next decade.

I read NZ has been stifilingly hot this week - hear it should hit 40 C on Tuesday! Contrasts with Patagonia's summer highs of 10 C.
