Day 34: My head hurts! :(


Mood: Hungover
Music: Various

Well... after yesterday's early start and late finish, today was mostly spent sleeping. I managed to miss breakfast as it had finished by 9am and not 9:30am as I had thought.

I then went to attend a lecture but only managed a few minutes of that before the urge to doze took over, therefore I returned to bed and surfaced in time for lunch.

Apparently I missed a wine tasting session but personally I don't think alcohol would have been the answer at that point.

This afternoon we had a shore trip to see the tongue of a glacier deep in the fyords of the region. This was quite pretty but a litttle dull until I started finding stones fit for skimming on the flat run of lake. I managed a 14 bounce skim at one point!

Before dinner we had a lecture on the Megellan penguin which we will be seeing early in the morning tomorrow.

After dinner I went, with two others from my dining table, to have a look at the engine room of the boat. Even with ear protectors on it was rather loud but impressively laid out and immaculately clean. The engines themselves were smaller than I had expected for a vessel this size, as were the generators.

After that we had a farewell drink in the bar area. Tomorrow I fly to Santiago and onwards to Sydney!
