| Ready to board and very excited |
Early the next morning we were up before the sun gulping down a quick breakfast before climbing into a bus bound for the airport along with other Ponant passengers to fly south to Ushuaia and the beginning of an voyage sailing through some of Chile’s magnificent fjords.

At last we landed at Ushuaia and again piled into buses some to visit the national park while others had a leisurely Argentinian lunch in the Andes – that was us.

| Ushuaia nestled against a breathtaking snowy backdrop |
The ship we’re on is Le Boreal. It’s about the same size as Le Commandant Charcot but older and not quite as luxurious not that we careed. Bareley a month agao we had sailed halfway around the frozen Antarctic Continent on rgw luxurious icebreaker, Le Commandanat Charcot.

We did an exploratory tour. Sadly there isn’t a promenade
deck so we will be taking to the stairs when we can in an attempt to stay 'fit'/not
increase the waistline toooo much. The food? Cosmopolitan-fusion - we even had
curry bread tonight. We’re already eating too much but what can you do? You
can’t be rude after all. That’s food out of the way, so I’ll tell you what we’ve
been doing …. soon
 |
| At breakfast, actually at all meals, we ate too much! The variety is supurb |
And then it was anchors aweigh and we set sail out through the Beagle Channel bound for Peurto Williams then south to Cape Horn.
