What a wonderful city Punta Arenas is... a real city with history and things to see and do, lovely old buildings, the real deal.
Not like Ushuaia which has - um - shanties in the hills, -um - need some think music here - oh thats right..... nice views of Chile to the south.... thats about it....
Oh the nativity scene with the penguins and seals ( up near the Prefectura where they keep the hulked 'warships') is rather nice....

Slightly sorry for the inhabitants of Puntas Arenas. Can't have it both ways. Support argieland and I'll keep my £36,000 at home!
