Penguin City

Ushuaia is definitely "the city of penguins"...
Well, at least of silly tourist "crap" type penguins.

Ive never seen more penguins printed on T-Shirts, painted on coffee mugs, carved out of semi-precious stones, made of glass ornaments, made of fake fur as stuffed toys, embroidered on fleeces, etched on drink coasters, etc. etc. etc.













They really do try to make the most of this being the start point for almost all tourist trips to the Antarctic.

But, I guess thats what people do... They buy this sort of stuff.
I freely admit that Ive got a bunch of tourist crap from my travels too...

But I just dont have room on my bike for a Penguin at the moment:)
