The temperature had dropped a few more degrees this morning and we also had quite a downpour as well. Nicole went to the gym on her own this morning, Maria & Pip both opting to have a bit of a lie in while I went for a walk then on for an early coffee in the Tuscan Grille where I was later joined by the other three. We also spotted the wine spillers who kept a descrete distance, perhaps worried we might be plotting a revenge attack.
We again sat through talks from both speakers which were equally as good as the previous day’s. Mickey Live’s was basically tips on digital photography while in Antarctica which I found really interesting. As we are now much further south we have been told to keep an eye out for wildlife. The temperature has dropped considerably since yesterday and the wind has picked up which makes it feel much cooler.
We had lunch in the buffet today and despite leaving it late in the session still found it a bit of a bun fight. Stick a plate in some people’s hands and they seem to loose all sense of direction along with spacial awareness.
The afternoon was a very relaxed affair for Maria, Nicole and myself, we all donned our jackets and sat out on the balcony, out of the wind there was still quite a bit of warmth from the sun. Pip on the other hand went to the gym to do some running.
Apart from the usual evening routine that pretty much summed up the days proceedings. We have another sea day tomorrow and then we arrive at Ushuaia.
Check out for the sea and the birdlife – According to my wildlife books you might now get albatrosses soaring towards the bow – go as far forward as you can on the upper deck ( subject to wind and rain) .Perhaps the next day as you approach Ushuaia. Wendy ( my Management) wants to know how you put your neat monika on the photos!
Certainly the Drake channel should throw up a lot to see from onboard. Interested to know which trip you will be doing at Ushuaia.
You are right about the Albatrosses, we are starting to see increasing numbers of them now.
The watermark is by using a plugin, it is all done automatically during the uploading process along with the resizing. WordPress has some really good plugins.
Lovely to hear about your sea days. Always nice to relax on the ship, especially when first boarding.
I look forward to hearing all about the wildlife and ports!
