A relaxing and recovery day is on the cards for me today. After a bit of a sleep-in I started organizing my things, uploading photos and updating my blog. Fernando was sick today so he also stayed in and Mauricio took the Couchsurfers out to the Penguin colony. A bit of a loss in translation as I thought they were all heading out to the very expensive Magdallena Island to see the penguins when in fact they drove out to the park which was far cheaper and somewhere I really wanted to visit - ohwell next time. They were supposed to be back by 1pm and we would all have lunch together but unfortunately they arrived back at 4pm and so a late lunch was on the cards. Mauricio cooked the very traditional Chilean dish; Cazuela - a vegetable and chicken soup. It was about 5:30 before we ate but luckily I had eaten something earlier or I would have been ravenous. I decided I will try and get rid of all the stuff I brought for Torres del Paine hike - although I could probably use it again I hate the thought of having to lug it around and where I am is probably the best place to try and sell it. I posted an add on an online classifieds site and was absolutely bombarded with messages however the first person to come and look wanted to give me just a 10th of what I was asking this wasting both our times. Seen as Mauricio had cooked so much Cazuela we were all able to have dinner with the leftover soup and to be honest I think it was even better the second-time round. Fernando had downloaded a new film with Tom Hanks called Captain Phillips and was able to find some English subtitles for it online so we all could watch film which turned out to be really good - based on the true story of Somalian Pirates kidnapping a cargo ship captain.
