Down the coast

09 Nov

Woke up to start driving the 1200km we have to cover to get back to the Andes and the glaciers around calafate. At sunrise the day was fine, chill wind coming off the sea. 20 minutes later the sky was grey with cold winds blowing wildly. An hour later, no wind , freezing cold. 2 hours later we were driving on dirt roads in pouring rain, hoping the road won’t be washed out. ( we were still 200 km from the nearest village on a trail ) . An hour later the sun came out, took off the fleece. 30 minutes later – snow !
What a country…

Punta Tombo penguin colony

09 Nov

Largest colony in the world with 400,000 birds, we walked between them for 30 minutes in what seemed like 20 degrees below zero. The penguins were looking at us dressed up and thinking what are these humans doing here?
