Day 28 - Nice cemetery, and so close to town

Punta Arenas

Our airbnb was a room in someone's house - something we hadn't tried before now. The house was described as large but it wasn't that big, it seems the Chileans' idea of a large house may not be the same as ours! We were given a small bedroom for two nights, the owners seem to be people not long out of uni, nice enough, but used to student levels of cleanliness (that's not a compliment by the way). It's all good experience though - now we know we're not too keen to try a shared airbnb again!

Just one part of the cemetery in Punta Arenas

We spent the day wandering around the city seeing the sights. The cemetery was recommended to us and was well worth the visit, with well decorated tombs, mausoleums, and a number of interesting memorials. We wandered down by the waterfront with it's interesting sculptures, the port (which is also a departure point for Antarctic cruises), and up to the mirador (lookout), also picking up a bus ticket for the next stage of our trip along the way.

I think this is Magellan, but the inclusion of mermaids
tells me this is just an "artist's impression"
