What do you do on a Sunday in Punta Arenas? We decided to go and visit some more penguins. We travelled by a converted landing barge for 2 hours across to Magdalena Island and had a wonderful time looking at the Magellen penguins. They were absolutely unafraid of humans and frequently walked across within six inches of our toes.
They live in burrows but were mostly standing round watching us. None were dancing. We also saw many down on the beach and even the ones in the burrows nesting could be clearly seen. There were about 75,000 breeding pairs.
The weather was absolutely freezing and very very windy. When we walked up to the lighthouse, we were almost blown away.
At the moment we are in Punta Arenas town, having visited the markets and taken in the sights. Sorry again that there are no photos. When we get a chance we might send a few photo blogs.

That sounds fantastic - can't wait to see the photos.
Hold on tight to that camera we do want to see pictures at some point (because we haven't got any postcards yet...)
