While we were waiting to see the penguins, we spent some time on trails around the lodge. This one was an educational trail through the rain forest. Being a rain forest, we did not see much sun while we were there. One day it rained 60mm, which is 2.5 inches. If you visit a rain forest, you have to assume that it is going to rain and you have to be willing to go out into it. I have to admit, kudos to the folks living and working there. It is just way too gloomy for me.
Actually, it was really interesting
