Turns out, everything is closed on Sundays. Everything. We found a Starbucks open on Cathedral Square. And a McDonald's in Hornby. That's about it. No restaurants. No coffee shops. No grocery stores. So, yes, we ended up at McDonald's. I am ashamed. But full.
On the way out of town, we stopped for a look at the International Antarctic Centre. It's just outside of the airport. It's the last stop for most explorers before they head for the South Pole. The blue penguins are a hoot. We got to see a feeding. Seemed like only two of them, "Popo" and "Bagpipes" managed to get any of the fish! The Centre also has a room that simulates what it's like on the Antarctic continent. Complete with wind chill machine, igloo and man-made snow storm. We didn't stick around for the storm.
