A few days on board so far and we really haven't done much yet. It took a day and a half to sail from Ushuaia to the Falkland Islands, and once we got there, we only spend a very brief lunch hour on land before heading out to sea again. The Falklands are really the only place that we go to which is populated, but I have to say that it's not the first place I'd want to move to if given the choice. The islands are under British Sovereign rule, and the space is used largely as a military outpost. I think the Brits hang around mostly just to annoy Argentina though...
Chris and I spent some time on land just running a few errands and having lunch. Nothing much to report really, and it wasn't long before we were heading out to sea again. This time there were 2 full sea days before the next sighting of land, South Georgia Island.
This morning was the first landing in South Georgia, and it took place in the form of a zodiac tour. It was nice to finally get off the ship for a bit after being cooped up for so long, but I think I could have done without the snow and sleet... It was quite a windy day, and with the zodiac driver whipping us around the bay we were certainly getting a face full cold wet iciness. It's all part of the experience though, right?? The wildlife was awesome and the scenery was pretty great too, so I guess I can't complain too much. I'm trying to upload pictures and video for you, but so far I've been unsuccessful. I'll try again later tonight, but in the meantime, I'm going for lunch. Toddles!
