Day ride from Punta Arenas

The day was dry but cold and mainly cloudy which was an improvement on the weather forecast which was for rain. We rode out of the city in search of a national park but soon got fed up of the traffic and when we encountered road works and poor signage we turned back to the coast for a ride along the cycle path, passing another decaying jetty and its huge population of imperial cormorants. We called in on the same café for espresso and more queque de zanahoria y naranja (carrot and orange cake).

We booked flights to Puerto Montt for Saturday with Sky Airlines so tomorrow would be our last day in the deep south.
