Idiots at the End of the World Ep. 5 Valentine's Day 3
On the third day of Valentine's
My true love gave to me...
What could be more appropriate for Valentine's Day than lovebirds?
But in this case, the birds were penguins. And the tickets were sold out for Feb. 13 and 14, so the Idiots had a third day of Valentine's celebration with a magical trip to Martillo Island.
A later episode will give more details on the 7 ½ bus/Zodiac/boat tour... but here is a quick preview.
----------------------------
What could be better than getting close up with a penguin?!
How about getting up close with a small group of Gentoo penguins?!
OK... how about getting close up with THOUSANDS of penguins?! Each day special tours provide the opportunity for four groups limited to 20 persons to walk among a small resident group of Gentoo penguins and thousands of Magellanic penguins who return each year to breed.
The masses of birds are impressive... but on close observation, the individuals have so much personality! Check out the mother and chick! And the setting - in the Beagle Channel surrounded by glacier-draped mountains - pretty spectacular!
It was an amazing wrap up to a three day celebration of 52 years of Idiot travel down the path of life together!

I made a heart-shaped turkey burger for John for Valentine's day. Just sayin'.
Love that last pic of the two of you with the penguins.
