Back on Land - For one day 18th February 2009

Yesterday we landed on hard ground again, after two days of rocking and rolling up the Drake Passage. But we weathered it well. Neither of us was seasick. We are in Ushuaia again and spent yesterday on the Southernmost Railway in the World. We went to the Tierra Del Fuego National Park on the Railway and then continued on by car. Lovely scenery but as I said to Poo the sights we saw in Antaractica are going to be hardtobeat.

This afternoon we board the "Mare Australis" for our trip round Cape Horn and then thru the Chilean Fiords to Punta Arenas. More zodiac landings for the next few days but we are like pros now and are taking to it like ducks to water. This ship is much bigger than the icebreaker we have been on but I doubt if we could ever top the Akademik Shokalskiy for the wonderful time that we have had.

Talk to you again next time we are in email territory, Be good
