Long day but worth it - Wow was this a long day but it was worth it for sure. The bus was comfortable considering we have to be on there for over 8 hours of transport. Then a two hour boat tour which was fun. Seeing penguins and seals. But lunch time flew by not much time to go find food on your own and eat leisurely. The Sand dune ride was a lot of fun and we thought the 1 hour tour was plenty. Got to see the sunset and do the board.
