South American Cruise 2008

We are just leaving Ushuaia, on Tierra del Fuego, in Argentina, we have had a great cruise so far…

Our ports:
Puerto Montt – we visited a small town called Fruitallar, another town called Puerto Varas
Puerto Chacabuco – very small town, we got a taxi and rode to a waterfall, looked at a cool pedestrian bridge, played in the river…
Punta Arenas – awesome! Penguins!
Ushuaia – we went on a train ride to Tierra del Fuego national park, it was beautiful.

We’ve also seen glaciers, the Straits of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, tomorrow we go around Cape Horn, where the Atlantic, Pacific, and Antarctic Oceans meet. It’s going to be cool! The sun has been setting really late, tonight official sunset time was 10:47 PM. It’s very weird, but cool. I never actually thought that I would see this part of the world.

We have three more stops before Buenos Aires: the Falkland Islands, Puerto Madryn, and Montevideo…I hope that we can find some cool things to do in those ports. I will post photos in a bit…
