Penguins by ze millions!

Yup, there is indeed a million strong colony of penguins in patagonia. And a couple of welsh villages that do a roaring tourist trade in tea and scones, not very many actual welsh speakers left though. Elephant seals and sea lions, just lying around watching the tourists. I didnĀ“t see any whales though - wrong time of year. Its quite weird the sheer barreness of patagonia - its hundreds of miles of scrubland as far as you can see.
Barilloche tonight - the lake district.
