Marta Island is past
(north of) Punta Arenas in the strait of Magellan. Early tea and into
the zodiacs in the last group at 8:30. stayed in the zodiacs close to
the beach watching sea lions and their pups play. The Males are huge,
can be 3 times the weight of the female….
We all got a little
wet on the way back to the ship.
Normally this morning would be spent viewing the penguin colony but they have all departed for the north.
As we had a late
breakfast the Stella Australis steamed back to Punta Arena for an
11:30 disembarkation.
However we were
delayed and did not get off till just before 13:00 hrs. So no vehicle
pick up Kaufman closes at 13:00hrs.
We went to a hotel and booked in for two nights. Went out to a restaurant for a late lunch, a half hamburger and glass of wine.
Back to the hotel .
I thoroughly enjoyed
the Stella Australis The guides were very knowledgeable and very
helpful.
Food and drink plentiful with fantastic scenery. And of course the visit to Cape Horn. Well worth the money.
