Jestesmy teraz w Trelew i wlasnie wrocilysmy z wycieczki do Punta Tombo, gdzie August is reportedly the world's largest colony of Magellanic penguins.

must admit that our previous meetings with the penguins in New Zealand were very intimate in comparison with today. Punta Tombo is a nesting place for about 600 thousand. penguins, arriving here every year in September into the same sockets and the same partners, with whom they have offspring. Babies fed for three months and are reared by both parents, and in March set off on sea and begin their own adult lives. Despite

crowd of people walking among so many penguins and the opportunity to see them from really close (closer he did not give) is doing an incredible impression. Sometimes you have to outright careful not to step on some. Being subject to a Here is the rule that a penguin is always take precedence, and when he wants to go through the path, then people must stop. We are very liked us there, which translates into the number of pictures taken by us. We are expecting more in the next punkscie trip in Puerto Deseado. Tomorrow we board the bus and so we move on to conquer the coast.

By the way, our first and longest, so far, the bus trip turned out to be quite acceptable, although the 20 hour drive. Shortly after leaving the station we had a first point of entertainment, which was a game of bingo. Got the small pieces of paper with numbers and you have nice steward read numbers, and we sprawdzalysmy or something trafilysmy. Needless to say, that all was in English, so we had at the next test the language. Then it was also nice: Displaying three films dubbed in English, but especially for us joined subtitles in English, which facilitated our little affair. We received a total of dinner, breakfast and lunch, of which the most virulent was the dinner. For breakfast consisted of toast with jam, sweet muffins and even sweeter alfajor called cookies, in which you feel was the only sugar. We like sweet, but without exaggeration. For the future will therefore take a sandwich with one another (not sweet).

But we slept quite well, only the air conditioning once blew icy air, and there was no time at all. But the overall impression was about, and we fear no more special trips by bus, which will soon await us.

We arrived in Trelew after a very long bus journey. More on that later, because the key point of our visit here was to see Magellan Penguin colony in the nearby (1.5 hour drive one way) Punta Tombo. They told us it was the biggest colony in the world (600 thousand birds) and it certainly impressed us in every respect.

We really liked those funny birds. So far during our travels we have seen the smallest blue penguins and one of the rarest Yellow-eyed penquins in New Zealand, but on those occasions the birds were not so easy to see or photograph. Here we walked among thousands of them, trying not to stomp on any, especially as they often crossed our path just a meter or so before us and their nests were sometimes almost on the path. As you can imagine the number of pictures taken by Agnieszka is overwhelming. We watched the penguins walk, cry, feed their young ones and even surf on waves. The only drawback was the tour guide gave us not enough time to enjoy. All the more we look forward to seeing more penguins in Puerto Deseado, our next stop along Argentina´s coastline.

I promised a few words on the bus travel because it was surprisingly confortable. The seats we bought were reclining to almost lying position with a support for legs. A steward offered to carry our luggage up (we were placed at the top level of the bus) which Agnieszka decidely but politely refused (no, gracias). As we started from Buenos Aires we were proposed some entertainment: a bingo game entirely in English (nothing like a quick language lesson to kill the time), then 3 movie viewings (English dubbing with subtitles Angielski Specially for us) and meals: supper (not bad), breakfast (terribly sweet) and lunch (not edible by our European standards). All in all we enjoyed the experience and are no more afraid of the many bus transfers Following ahead of us.
