Great night's sleep last night - best so far. Woke up to the most amazing views - rounding Cape Horn and coming along to an island whist waiting for clearance to enter Chilean waters. Then we continued on our journey past the southernmost islands. As we rounded Horn Island our ship gave many long blasts on the horn, indicating that part of the ship was in the Pacific Ocean and part was still in the Atlantic Ocean. The scenery was so beautiful and so isolated. Unt...

We had Brekky delivered to our suite this morning so we could get organized to watch our progress down glacier alley (Beagle Chanel) to Ushuaia. It is breathtakingly beautiful. There were 6 glaciers on our way in to Ushuaia. This afternoon we did a tour of the large prison that is now a museum. This was built by the Argentinian government so that they could populate and settle the area. After that we were taken out of town to a narrow gauge train station where we...

We walked down to their maritime museum where Tom marveled at all things maritime and nautical before finding a taxi back to the ship. Another taxi driver translated to our taxi driver where to...

A cruisey day today as we cruise from the Falklands down to the Strait of Magellan - discovered by Ferdinando Magellan in 1511. Nothing but flat sea as far as the eye could see. Breakfast in the restaurant was followed by a talk in the theatre about our next two ports of call in the next two days. Hamburgers for lunch a little later, swapping info with our Bunnikins so we can all be allocated the same disembarkation time when we arrive in Santiago (paperwork then...

Leisurely start to the day - the ship is running quite late due to the heavy weather we've had over the last couple of days, so we had time for a good brekkie up in the Lido. When we went down to the lounge to join our shore excursion we caught up with a few of the Bunniks Crew. Warren and Mel are going on the same tour as us. We went ashore by tender and then were put into a coach for our drive across the island. As we made our way (one and a half hours each way...
