We left the Falklands behinds having fully enjoyed our day there and started wondering how we would handle another invasion by Argentina?? To be continued.
Sorry there are no photographs on the blog but the upload speed from the ship would not allow any pictures but I have been able to send them to my Phanfare photo blog, for your reference.
In the morning Noel sorted out his photos and blogged and then we went for a nicer windy 30 minute walk around deck before attending the Destination Lecture which again was most informative and confirmed that our choice of side excursions was correct, mind you they are bloody expensive. There is one where you fly on a private jet down to Antarctica for the day at about £ 3500.00 each and there appears to be many on board who have booked it.
We had lunch on the Patio Deck which was quite empty as most people wanted a much warmer environment. After lunch a nice relaxing chair in the lounge and watched the world go by for a while then a little light zizz before meeting up at the Panorama bar for pre-dinner drinks before Dinner.
Tonight is an Indian buffet and excellent it was with a wide choice of food that you could pick at. Our table was next to ‘Little and Large’ my name for the Welsh Comic and the Large American pianist and we tried a little chat but they were not interested.
Following dinner we went to the Grand Salon for the group of British Singers to perform a medley of tunes from Billy Joel, Elton John and Barry Manilow.
It was a good show and went on till just after 11 pm and so we went back to the suite as we have an early morning tomorrow as we arrive in Ushuaia which is the largest town in the closest to Antarctica which is only 1100 kilometres away.
