Well, we came to see penguins and we weren’t disappointed. We moored about 1.5 miles off Stanley in the Falkland Islands some time while it was still dark! As before, it was easier to get room service for breakfast, we … Continue reading

The ship has been moving around a fair bit these last couple of days, making walking an interesting exercise, not is it just rolling and pitching, every so often there is a large”thump” as though a couple of ginormous sledge … Continue reading

Puerto Montt
Our first tour on the cruise! Unfortunately this involved a 0615 wake up call! We were debating whether we needed to get up earlier, but then had the smart suggestion of room service! This would save us having to head … Continue reading
