Our good fortune held and we woke to another day of beautiful weather. We had been told that previous expedition had not been able to land once out of 5 planned landings due to foggy weather.
What a blessing to have another day of beautiful weather and so be able to go on another expedition. We had been given many warnings on the unpredictable weather frequently experienced in this area.
Our 2nd expedition was to Charlotte Bay on Munsier Point where we were treated to even more penguins, seals and some whales, plus beautiful icebergs and glaciers.
At last, we reached the Antarctic Peninsula, a strip of the continent which extends from the mainland to the Northeast.
Before continuing with the posts of our daily activities on this trip, I thought that it would be interesting and fun to know more about the ship itself.
At last, the cruise was in sight. From Buenos Aires we flew by Charter flight to the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina.
Once more we had to rise early to move on in our journey to Antarctica.
Our second and final day in Rio de Janeiro climaxed with a visit to the Statue of Christ the Redeemer.
Finally, 17 February 2025 arrived and we were definitely ready to leave for our expedition trip to Antarctica.
Today, the final day of our holiday, we visited the Seville Cathedral and the Jewish District of Seville.
