Almost penguin

Today we planned to be 100% tourists and we had booked tickets to Isla Magdalena that has a huge penguin colony of about 70000 penguins. The only way to get there is by a 2h boat trip. As we were on our way is started to get windy. We were closing in the Island and saw thousands of super cute little penguins jumping of joy to see us (or Ania saw them, I had gotten a little pale by then bacause of all the rocking).

We were about 1m from the shore when the captain decided we couldn't continue becouse of the weather and we had to turn back. After another 2h on a rocky chestnut we finally made it back. I was then about the color of a ghost and we were more than a little bit disapointed as we walked back to our hotel.

In the evening we found what looked to be a nice warm restaurant called Tekus. The service proved to be horrible and after over an hours wait we actually left sinse they seem to have no answer to when our food would be ready.

We ended up having some Chilean junk food that should have been prohibited to sell, but the hour was late and it was fast. The attached image actually sat on the wall in the junk food place and is picturing the restaurant we left with the junk food logo taped over it.

Tomorrow we are off to the north again with a three flight trip to Santiago.

  1. Fy vad hemskt att bli sjösjuk. Krig har förlorat pga sjösjuka. Men, ni ser ut att ha det bra. Lea och Keikos vistelse här hos mig är som en semester för dom. Keiko går ut och in som han vill. Däremellan fräser han som min plutt Ceasar. Lea har fått en plats i garderoben och är supernöjd med all blötmat. Puss
