Penguinos!!

Penguins awesome! The road was a great adventure. The guide books had
said that the road was 75 km of unpaved gravel but the Argentine
government has seen fit to build a new paved highway South from
Trelew. The road is not yet completed so there are about 30 km of
gravel left and I imagine that some of the road to the park will be
left unpaved... It certainly adds to the charm of this desolate and
isolated piece of coastline?

In typical Erin fashion, we hit the road early to beat the tour buses.
We were the first car in the lot and nearly had the place to
ourselves for the first hour. What a treat. Our timing was also
perfect as the penguine chicks appear to have begun hatching in the
past week or so. More to come later!
