Bloody loads of penguins

...well, about 40,000

overcast 25 °C

In the province of Chubut we stopped at a national park where you can walk amongst the penguins. The park is called Cabo Dos Bahias and is 1649km from Buenos Aires.

Walking with the penguins was one of my highlights of the trip so far. They absolutely stink, but they are really inquisitive and look funny. Dee walked around with her headband over her nose to stop the smell and then complained there were too many flies, so went to sit on the truck while i ran around trying to take pics of the penguins. I wish I had a zoom lens for my camera as I could have taken some really good close up shots. I had to make do by leaning off the walkway as much as possible and shove my camera in the penguins faces.

That night we bush camped on a beach and the weather turned cold for the first time, as we all huddled around wearing our winter gear. The weather was also really windy so we had to find large stones to hold the tents down. A couple of people found scorpions when they picked up the stones, which was cool.
