Puerto Montt to Punta Arenas

We have spent the last two days at sea. From Puerto Montt we went through the Darwin Channel and out into the Pacific. We saw albatross, cormorants, sea lions and penguins. The weather has been quite rough but amazingly neither of us have felt sick yet and are enjoying the excellent food on board, really good company and entertainment. Tonight there is an opera singer from Yorkshire performing. Tomorrow we have a day in Punto arenas and may or may not see a colony of penguins.

The glaciers we have seen, El Brujo and Amalia, were stunningly beautiful and surprisingly so blue. We are enjoying quiz sessions, the gym, drawing, reading and IT sessions. Must dash off for evening meal, will have to get some exercise to keep off the weight. Love to all V and B

  1. Hi you 2
    All's well here, lovely sunny day after snow again on Wednesday!
    Can tell you are both very, very, busy as your last blogg is considerably shorter than usual!! I have been looking at Punta Arenas on Google earth but didn't see the Amsterdam, perhaps you hadn't got there yet!
    Love to you and the penguins
