We are staying in the Antarcticia Hostel, highly recommended in backpacker circles, quite rightly. Good grapevining. Rented bikes in the morning and headed up the coast till the road ran out. Boatride in the late afternoon timed to intercept the arrival on shore of the local (2 hours away) penguin colony. Very cute and astonishingly unconcerned about the looming boat beaching on their shore. The juveniles are still fluffy/scruffy while the adults are terribly smart. The water is very clear all the way up the Beagle channel so you could see the penguins swimming underwater, which seemed much more their element!
Barbecue in the hostel in the evening - but nobody eats before 10.30pm at the earliest, which pretty much counts me out! Nice to hear from Gik yesterday.
Off on a little plane tomorrow.
