Stupid Penguins

Puerto Natales, Chile

This morning we cross back over into Chile, take the ferry back over the Strait of Magellan and head west. We take a dusty bumpy road out to see a penguin colony, a trip that gets on Steve’s nerves to no end. The road is hard on the truck

A stupid penguin

and the excursion pointless unless you really happen to love penguins (which a couple of our pax do).

At the park we see another Tucan truck, so while the pax are ogling waddling fauna, we sit and chat. After the pax are done we head north eventually coming into Puerto Natales, a small town about 2 hours from Torres del Paine national park. We set up camp and cook dinner. Afterwards, my Dad, Leigh, Andy, Steve and I go shoot some pool. We find the most difficult table in South America to play on and the first game last 45 minutes. I decide that I’ve had enough pool for this decade and go back and go to sleep.
