Day 29 - Sculpture watch

Punta Arenas to Puerto Natales

A more civilised 10am bus trip this morning and a much better quality bus saw us take the three hour trip to Puerto Natales. Many people come here to to see the penguins on Magdelena Island, but we feel after Antarctica we have seen enough penguins for quite a while. The more significant attraction accessed from here is the Torres del Paine National Park, with the famed "W" trek (as much as M would like to we are not hiking it!).

We spent the afternoon checking out the small town, and arranging car hire for tomorrow's visit to Torres del Paine. The walk along the waterfront was interesting - some interesting sculptures again, and the view was great, with snow visible on the mountains across the water.

The graffiti really complements the view, doesn't it?
We also indulged in some yummy hot chocolate and cake - there's never a shortage of those things in Patagonia!
