This has been a relaxing few days on board this luxury ship. (But still not our cup of tea.) I think we really needed it after the wonderful hectic time we had on the icebreaker. We are enjoying the easy life and the ship excursions, but I know when Saturday comes we will be ready to be up and going again
Sunrise from the top deck
Our cabin
One of the lounges
The Beagle Channel (again) we have actually sailed up or down this channel five times on this holiday
You can tell the strengths of the winds here by looking how the trees grow
Poo enjoying himself on the deck, and by the way, he is enjoying himself elsewhere, this ship has an openbar, we expected house wines, but no, anything you ask for. Carlos the bartender, makes a wonderful Long Island Ice Tea, need I say more.
We made a very enjoyable excursion to the Piloto and Nena Glaciers. Lots of waterfalls at this time of the year as the ice melts
Even though we have seen so many glaciers in this last fortnight, you still look in awe
Poo just waiting for ice to fall
And it did, but just a little bit
Another excursion to more penguins. This time they were Magellan Penguins
But ….none of our visits to penguin colonies goes anywhere close to the wonderful penguin experience we had on that first landing from the Akademik Shokalkskiy in Antarctica. They were just so friendly, they were trying to get into our kayaks, to chew on our trousers and someone took off their parka and in two minutes flat this was what we witnessed. It must have been so much warmer than that cold ice.
Poo is so wrapped in penguins he has himself a new hat
