We spend the morning heading further south. After a quick breakfast that we prepare, we pack up the truck and head off. We stop for a nice view of the towers. Along the way we also spot many of the Guanacos - the wild cousins of the Llamas. These animals are all part of the Camelid family.
After about a 5 hour drive, we arrive in Punta Arenas - we drive up to Dinka's house and check-in. It is a strange little B&B - the lady that runs it is quite colorful and has numerous paintings of herself from her younger days. She has lost some of her old glory, but you can still see some of the old elegance. The house itself is a warren of hall ways and rooms that have closets for toilets and strange colors and wall paper. But it is safe and friendly, so we are happy.
We spend the afternoon checking out the town. We change some money and wander through the town center. Then we head on a long walk to the outskirts of the city. Along the way we check out a supermarket to see what kind of wine they have. We reach our goal, which is the Zona Franca (duty free zone). We head in and it is a huge shopping complex. It is packed with shoppers. And you can buy whatever you want and exit. But there is no local wine there, so we head back to the supermarket and buy a case of wine to replenish our stockpile.
We return to the hotel (taking a taxi due to the case of wine and other shopping) to take a shower before dinner. Some of us head out to a seafood restaurant - we are in a port on the sea, so we decide that might be a good choice. And the restaurant that Lonely Planet wrote about was quite good.
