Just a month after returning from South America, I was already heading on my next adventure. The reason? A wedding! Amalie from Denmark, who I had met on my Erasmus experience in 2012 in Germany, and subsequently visited a few times after, had invited Chris and I to her wedding in Osnabrück, Germany. We were invited to a whole day of events on the Saturday, but as there was no direct airport link, we flew in via Dortmund (around an hour to the south) on the Frid...

After yesterday's busy day, I woke up early for the final stage of my epic trip. Getting a taxi from my hotel in Buenos Aires before dawn, I made it to the airport in plenty of time for my short flight across the Rio de La Plata to Uruguay. Eventually boarding the small city hopper, we were served a breakfast box after take off. However, no sooner had I started eating and we were already coming back down and landing in Montevideo. This was just a half hour flight...

After 10 days on the MS Expedition, this morning it was all coming to an end. With an early start and breakfast, by 8am I had already said my goodbyes and headed on the coach back into Ushuaia.

At the airport I sent my...

After enjoying breakfast, I headed out on the deck to get views of the Chilean coastline around Cape Horn as well as watch the many birds flying around the ship. After a lecture on Shackleton we had a briefing about tomorrow's disembarkat...

After five days in Antarctica, today we made the long voyage back across the Drake Passage. Whilst it was great to finally rest after the busy few days, I was sad to be leaving the amazing Continent, as well as a little apprehensive after the rough trip over. Luckily however, the sea was much calmer for us on the way back, and I also knew how to better to counter any sea-sickness I might be feeling. This meant I got to enjoy all the meals today, as well as si...
