Because we are not under time pressure we start the day fairly late, and we head off to the local bird sanctuary at about 11. This is the extent to which being in South America has turned us into bird watchers (and it happened the last time, I remember searching for pictures of Toucans and Condors before). This time it is the Chilean Flamingo which is our primary target, and we do get to see a few of them at the lake, although from a bit of a distance. However we do get close to some other birds, including a few birds of prey which try to swoop on a dog that is hanging around. But as with all bird watching there are more failed photos than successful ones. As well as the two small lakes that the bird reserve is built around, we also walk along the shores of Lago Argentina, the biggest lake in Argentina.
In the evening we ate again at our hostel, although this time we learnt our lesson from the previous day. Instead of having a shared salad to start and two massive main courses, this time we had two soups to start, and we shared a massive main course.
