(Pre-Wedding) Honeymoon, Part XII - Bring on the Penguins!

We slept in and it felt great.  Our tour was not until 4p so we pretty much had nothing to do.  There was a looming dread throughout the day of our 330am flight that night out of PA to Mendoza via Santiago where we essentially had to kill 6 hours in PA from 8p until 2am in a town where nothing is really going on.

Around 2p we ventured out to grab a bite.  At the recommendation of the hotel, we went to a fast food style cafeteria called Lomit’s.  I think it was an American style diner, but I’m not sure.  Everyone had big sandwiches on round rolls so we got one that was chicken and cheese (seemed safe) and one called a Lomito – we figured that’s the one the restaurant is named after so let’s go for it.  We thought is was steak of some sort.

Everyone loves Lomit's...well, almost everyone.

(Pre-Wedding) Honeymoon, Part XI - Goodbye Paine, Hello Punta Arenas

The alarm went off and GG was not having it.  After getting blown over on the full day hike and then the expert horseback ride, her body was done.  I tried to see if there were any super easy excursions, but there were not, so we cancelled and had a leisurely morning/lunch before heading off to Punta Arenas.

We departed Explora at 3p in a van full of the few guests we didn’t get a chance to meet, all of whom live in Chile and spoke Spanish.  It was going to be a long 6 hour ride.

Surprise, surprise, it wasn’t at all.
