Today was a very early start up on deck at 6am for cruising
through Glacier Alley which was amazing so pretty with 6 beautiful glaciers
each different from the previous. One of
the glaciers has a big rock centre from where the glacier has receded, another
has a wonderful waterfall which was flowing very fast, the experts advised that
quite often they have been at this glacier and the waterfall has been non-existent
they said it was the best it has been this season. The sea was a little choppy but not too bad
and was quite cold. Then we sailed through the Beagle Chanel, as well, we have
sailed through the Strait of Magellan discovered in 1520 and Cockburn Channel.
We have Cape Horn and Drake Passage still to come. We docked at lunch time in
Ushuaia, and are now in Argentina, went for a walk along the wharf up to the
town, there were a few other ships docked here as well as us. We went on the
Train at the End of the World which is a small steam train that was originally
used to transport convicts, it was very picturesque and was a lovely way to see
the Andes, forests and rivers. We had a coach ride back to the port and stopped
at Ensenada Bay this forms the divide between Chile and Argentina which again
was very pretty it has a mail box which is at the most southern point on Earth.
We boarded the ship about 7.30pm and it was time to sail out after another great
day.
