We had 7 hours to explore another area of Buenos Aires before leaving for the airport, to fly to Sao Paulo, for the first leg our journey home.
And so our wonderful expedition cruise to Antarctica and some southern islands came to an end at Ushuaia.
We sailed from Stanley at 8pm and headed for Ushuaia which would take a day at sea.
From West Point, we sailed overnight to Stanley, also known as Port Stanley, on the East Falkland Island, arriving in the outer anchorage of Stanley Bay at 08:00.
After two days at sea, we arrived at West Point on the West Falkland Island at 11:30, in calm seas.
After visiting Grytviken, once all were back on board, the captain announced that guests had asked if we could go past Iceberg A23a. Once again, the itinerary was changed.
We sailed from Golthul to Grytviken arriving during the night into a much calmer bay.
We arrived at Royal Bay, South Georgia at 07:00 after 2 days in rough seas and, as it was still very rough in this bay, it was decided to move further north to Golthul.
After a wonderful time discovering the flora, fauna and geography of the Antarctic Peninsula we spent two days at sea, travelling to the island of South Georgia.
We anchored near Mikkleson Harbour on another beautiful day. There was the usual sign in the lift telling us where we were, on which deck to board our boats, items we must have on hand and what time all must be back on board.
