Well, the cold that’s been running through the passengers ever since Day 1 has finally hit our little group. Sheila had it a few days ago, now the other three of us got it yesterday and it’s a doozy. Nothing but sleep and drugs will help and therefore I’ve not done much outside my cabin the last two days. Thank goodness it hit on our last 2 days at sea so we didn’t miss any excursions. The staff still kept a busy schedule so there were things to occupy one’s time, if so inclined….
I did get up to watch the photo competition this afternoon, which was fun and Nate’s recap of the voyage has some wonderful photos of the guests and our excursions which they graciously put on USB sticks for everyone to take home.
Tonight’s farewell dinner had the VIP guests sitting with Captain Beluga and Nate, and Nate called up all the staff in turn so we could clap our heartfelt appreciation for all they’ve done for us on this cruise. Tomorrow we have an early wake up call and an early breakfast before we disembark in Ushuaia around 8:15 am and we’ll have a couple of hours to sightsee there before our 3:40pm flight north to Buenos Aires.
Oh, and the infamous Drake Passage was a non-event. We experienced more the “Drake Lake” than the “Drake Shake”. Again, so so lucky. The captain in his speech mentioned that the next group that boards tomorrow afternoon is not going to be so fortunate!
Another dining room shot, I didn’t miss a meal!
