Sweet huh?
The penguins were really fun. Right now the babies are losing their downy brown feathers steadily being replaced by their adult, black feathers. What I found exciting and cute is when one of the adult bird decides it wants to take a dip in the ocean. The penquin just begins walking down a predetermined path until it reach his goal . . . waddling all the way! It was also funny when there was a group going down or coming back together because there was usually a line leader and if everyone wasn´t keeping up he wouls stop or go back until they were all together again.

I am really glad we made the effort to visit this sanctuary.

See you soon, Aud

This was around 7 PM at night. The penquins had already fished for the day and were just there to goof off and clean up.
