From Ngaire:

WHAT A DAY WE HAD. GREAT ZODIAC CRUISE
IN THE MORNING. WE SET OFF IN ABSOLUTE
CALM WITH THE EXPEDITION LEADER IN THE
VERY FIRST ZODIAC. VERY PLEASED WITH
OURSELVES FOR OUR GOOD FORTUNE TO
HAVE THE EXPEDITION LEADER.

THEN OUR LITTLE ADVENTURE BEGAN. THE
ENGINE STOPPED WORKING SO WE HAD TO
BE RESCUED AT SEA IN ANTARTICA. ALONG
SIDE CAME ANOTHER ZODIAC AND THEY
HELD THE TWO BOATS TOGETHER WITH
OARS. VERY HIGH TECH. IT WORKED
PERFECTLY AND WE SWITCHED BOATS. IT
AS REALLY QUITE FUN. LESLIE AND BRAD
WERE WITH US.

OUR ZODIAC CRUISE WAS
AROUND PARADISE BAY AND WE
SAW A FABULOUS GLACIER THAT WE
ALL REALLY ENJOYED GETTING REALLY
CLOSE TO, AND THE CAMERAS WERE
CLICKING AWAY. ONE PART LOOKED LIKE
HIGH RISE BUILDINGS, PICTURES LATER.
WE SAW A WEDDELL AND CRABEATER SEAL
ON ICEBERGS .

THEN WE HEADED FOR A LANDING ON THE
SEVENTH CONTINENT. MANY TOOK THE
TREK UP THE HILL AND THEN CAME SLIDING
DOWN ON THEIR REAR ENDS. MORE
PADDING NOW AFTER THE GREAT FOOD ON
THIS TRIP.

RETURNING TO THE SHIP THE POOL DECK
OFFERED VODKA , BEER AND HOT DOGS.
WE ALL ENJOYED THE AMBIANCE AND
DRINKS AND THEN HEADED TO THE DINING
ROOM FOR ANOTHER GREAT LUNCH.

FOLLOWED BY YET ANOTHER GAME IN THE
POOCH CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT.

WE SAILED THROUGH THE LEMAIRE
CHANNEL IT WAS PICTURE PERFECT. CALM,
ICEBERGS AND MOUNTAINS REFLECTING IN
THE WATER.

THE SUNSHINE CONTINUED AS WE LANDED
AT PETERMAN ISLAND WHERE WE WERE
GREETED BY GENTOO AND ADELIE
PENGUINS. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SPOT.
AGAIN PICTURES WILL TELL THE STORY-

ABOUT TO SET SAIL FOR DECEPTION
ISLAND. TWO MORE LANDINGS TOMORROW
AND THEN WE HAVE TO LEAVE THIS
WONDERFUL PLACE.
