Long day but well worth it. Our host (can’t remember his name) was excellent. Very impressive highway to get there. We saw lots of different birds, seals, a few dolphins, penguins. The boat ride was a bit rough. But on the island the sun came out. Lovely lunch included. On way back we saw native foxes and a few guanacos.
