So Cuverville was changed to Danco island due to weather conditions. We also had our group photo taken.
It was much colder outside and as my nose is running like a tap and I am exhausted I have opted out of our last zodiac cruise and landing. 😢
As sick as I have been these past couple of days this is still the most magical of experiences, but I just couldn’t make it for the final trip out so Garrie ran amok with both the wide angle and the zoom camera and I have just added two of his pics to the ships photo journal.
Garrie took a few good photos but they didn’t see anything I hadn’t seen before which I was grateful for. Gigantic ice bergs and a leopard seal, plus more whales and some gentoo penguins. Fantastic to hear the whales blowing once again in the silence that is Antarctica.
When they returned I joined them and Solan & the Expedition Team on deck 6 aft for a Farewell Toast to Antarctica (with beer tasting from the Falklands!).
Three beers of the day today. A couple of many Falkland Islands choices – not Garrie’s thing, but the Heineken rated a 7.5
Oh and this did all take place next to the swimming pool which had been filled so those doing the polar plunge had a fast way to warm up.
OK I think the funny faces are my fault as I told him to be more animated!
That night we had a Lobster dinner. I didn’t take a pic. Sadly my appetite disappeared once I became ill and wine tasted horrible to me too.
We sadly watched the last of the Antarctic continent pass by as we ate dinner and then it started to snow heavily.
We were told that by 10.30pm we would be back to the Bransfield strait and would be hitting the dreaded drake passage about 3am. Yes folks there is more to come. I’ll end today with a map of our last couple of days in Antarctica.
