Found the Penguins!

In Punta Arenas in Chile, and it is too! 12 degrees Max. Sunny morning but overcast now. Town reminds me a bit of Geraldton. Quiet, some shops a restaurants, not a lot here. Lots of brands of Chinese cars I have never heard of before.

Took a boat trip to the Magdelena Island Penguin Sanctuary to see (surprise, surprise) Magdalena Penguins. Interesting spot. Saw Kelp Gulls, Skuas, dolphins, sea lions etc.

The island is in the Strait of Magellan and in the distance is Terra del Fuego. The water is cold and crystal clear. Would be a good fishing spot for Darren & me as it is famous for all the sardines.

Off tomorrow to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.Read more
