It has been an exciting few days since my last blog. We have visited Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. While there we took a five hour catamaran ride and saw penguins (many, many penguins), whales, sea lions and all sorts of sea birds, including albatross.
After sailing all night, through the Beagle channel, we arrived in Punta Arenas, Chile, which they claim as the southernmost city. It seems to depend on your definition of city. While we were here we had a tour of the city with a truly excellent guide. I think it's interesting that so many of these cities started as penal colonies. Now we are sailing through the Strait of Magellan heading towards the Pacific Ocean.
To add to our pleasure today was the first sunny day we have had for a while.
Penguins and sea lions...
