Punta Arenas
After being
two weeks at grandmas place I went to Punta Arenas. Took the bus to Santiago and
a flight from there straight to my destination. My first impression of Punta
Arenas was like being in Alaska :D
The weather was just like home, chilly but not the kind of chill as in Villa Alemana. It’s a small town , but one of the biggest in the region. The nearest towns around here is Puerto Natales with a 2 hour drive and Porvenir that is also a 2 hour trip by boat.

I arrived
around 6:00 in the morning, and since it was on a Sunday I thought it would be
prudent NOT to go to town this early, so I waited a couple of hours at the airport
before I took the local bus to town.
The place
got many different hostels to choose
from. I tried first hostel Kloeken but unfortunately for me the hostel was
already full. No worries, I just walked a block and found another. This one was
Hostel Anil. This hostel was a bit more expensive than the last one, but since
there were no one at the place I got a sweet price for the night.

It is said that if you kiss the feet of the indian, you will come back to Punta Arenas.
I was starving
and needed breakfast, but Punta Arenas on a Sunday is well, a dead town. The
only place I could find was the Mercado Municipal. There I got some of the best
empanadas of the region. They had a lot of different kinds. I tried one with
Crab/Shrimp cheese and one with Oyster/Shrimp Cheese. Really nice.
Went back
to the hostel, took a supernicehotshower since it’s been weeks that I’ve had a
hot shower and my hair is getting kinda strange :b

Anyway,
Later that evening I went to Lomit's (check ut link below) to grab something to eat and a beer.
Tomorrow
I’ll ask about where I can go to find me some pinguins, so I’ll just chill out
tonight.
