VALPARAISO - SANTIAGO CHILE
The sailing is over we arrived at Valparaiso today. We were up early and off the ship about 8:30 as it was a 2hr drive to Santiago, we decided to take one of the tours that would drop us off at the hotel. It was mainly a bus ride with a couple of stops for lunch and a winery tour. They did give us a short tour through the city of Santiago. Lots of buildings to see with great history behind them. Tomorrow we hope to take a cab or tour bus to get a better look at the city. Will try to take and post some pictures.
PUERTO MOTT, CHILE
PUERTO MOTT, CHILE
DECEMBER 19
After our three day sale we finally arrived at our next port of call "Puerto Mott" our planned tour was not in the town. We had set a trip that took us to Lake Esmeralda named for its Emerald colour water caused by sediment coming of the local volcano’s. A trip down the lake on a catamaran after which we went to Petrohue falls. This was followed by a drive thru the contry side ending up in Puerto Vareas, for lunch at a nice restaurant on lake Lianquihue one of the largest lakes in Chile. Of all the trips we took this was the least interesting of all trips. The volcanos though dormant were quite interesting. The last one to erupt was in 1982. Clouds covered the tops the whole time we were there.
As this was my birthday Ray took me out for dinner as usual we ate too much.
DEC 16 - 18
CRUSING
December 16 -18
After leaving Punta Arenas, we cruised into the Strait of Magellan which was a very scenic trip with land close on either side other the mountains and hills not a lot to see. We had two days of sailing ahead of us which changed when we were advised by the captain that we were turning around and heading back to help a ship in distress. It was a small Russian ship with 150 on board its engine room had flooded and they were adrift with no power. It was close to 2am when we arrived on site. They had drifted very close to land and had been able to drop anchor which managed to catch a shoal. As the anchor was holding our ship stood by until a tug arrived to tow. By this time it was about 9 am and we started back north, our stop at Puerto Chacabuco was cancelled we now still had a two day cruise ahead of us to Puerto Mott, Chile. After leaving the Straits of Magellan we got into the rough waters that we had heard about. Not big waves but about 12 - 15 feet enough to make us watch our step when walking around the ship. We did find the dining room on deck 5 mid ship was the place to have our dinner. We were told so much about the rough waters around the Cape and we only had mild chop. Neither Ray or I got sick but it was not comfortable I thought sleeping might be a challenge but not so I slept well

PUNTA ARENAS, CHILE
Monday 15 December - Punta Arenas
This morning we awoke at anchor in the bay at Punta Arena, the sun was shining again. We started the morning with a sit down breakfast and a relaxing get ready, just a little too relaxing though
, as when we got to our meeting point the tour director was waiting for us, we were late! We met our tour guide who spoke English very well, he is an english teacher here in Punta Arenas. It seem different to hear him talking about school being out for summer, it is Xmas time. One of our first education is that there are a lot of dogs in the city and that there is no control over dogs, no
dog catchers and dogs do what they want on the street. Yes there was sex education on the street, Doggy Style. Punta Arena is a city of aprox 150k people and down town is very busy. We had our history lessons and visited what were a couple of home of the upper class from the past that were now historical sites and museums.
After Julieo left us we were on our own to walk about town, we went to the top of the local hill where we had a good look out over the city and the bay where the Sun was at anchor. We next toured around the town square and looked over the markets set up to try catch the tourists with souvenirs and Alpacka sweaters which were a very good price. We did not break down and buy.
At this time we have left Punta Arenas and are cruising towards Magenlan Straits and from what we are told to expect some great scenery. The next two day are cruisi
ng so we can sleep in.
In talking to the waiters at dinner we have been told that the weather on this trip has been great which we can attest to. The last trip was very cold and rainy and the waters were very rough. So much so that some of the tours had to be canceled. Our trip so far has been excellent both in weather and cuising conditions. Our fingers are crossed for the rest of the trip.

GLACIERS ON THE BEAGLE CHANNEL
Contrast on some of the pics is not great as this was a cloudy day. It will give you and idea what the glaciers in this area look like. They were more impressive to the eye.

USHAUAIA, ARGENTINA
Sunday Dec 14 - USHAUAIA, ARGENTINA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushuaia
We awoke to sun
ny skies and a fairly warm temperature. Today was our day to golf at the End of the World course. Breakfast was about 6:30 am as we had to be ready to leave the ship at 7:45. On our way to the golf course Melina our guide gave us information that made us very happy. The average number of days of "25" and we had one of them, the average high temperature would be 10 - 12C, we got above that.
Golfing was in what I would call a cow pasture (fairways were not mowed, I think they must put out the sheep) trees were not removed from the fairway so had to shoot over or around, I am sure that my time was spent under them.
Ushuaia was a very new clean town with none of the usual slum looking area as the town is just a little over 20 years as we saw it. The original settlers arrived about 1894. The main industry is fishing, electronics manufacturing, plastics, textiles and gas/petroleum. A very progressive and impressive city. The locals say it is the most southerly city in the world.
Our stay was very short, we were set to sail at 2pm but it took a while to get our port clearance. We are now on our way up the Beagle Channel. There are 7 major glaciers we will see as well as a number of smaller ones on our way to Puerto Arenas. Now it is time to kick back put up the feet and rest some more.

CAPE HORN
Saturday Dec 13 - Cape Horn
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Horn
Last evening we
set sail from Port Stanley for Cape Horn. This morning we got
up to cloudy skys and 8 degree temperature with about 25kn winds. The seas started out at slight and ended up at moderate. Still nice cruising with slight motion on the ship. The day did not warm up and the clouds got lower. Prior to arriving at the Cape their was the Baptisim of all polywogs (first time around the Cape) which raised our status to "Honorary Fugeans". Yes a ladle of salt water was poured over our heads. We had a presentation on Magelan and the Cape prior to arriving which gave us reidea what we would see and why the waters around the Cape are so dangerous for small and large vessels. The clouds were high enough that we were able to see the monument erected for lost sailors. We sailed past the Cape then headed north and west to Ushuaia.

CRUISING AND PORT STANLEY
Thursday Dec. 13
What a day! The weather is great and we are cruising from Puerto Madryn to Stanley Faulkland Is. We spent most of the day on the pool deck, not sure what the temperature was but I got a good tan and Raylene well you can guess what her color is. The book I mentioned the other day I actually finished it, that is a first in a long time for me. As our internet is via satellite we have a lot of trouble putting picutres up on the blog, we have to do them one at a time else we get shut down and have to start all over again. I will try put some more up tomorrow.
Friday Dec. 1
Today
we arrived in the Falkland Islands, temperature about 51 degrees F. with quite a breeze so we bundled up for the boat ride into the dock and tour of the city. While initially we thought why would anyone want to live here, we were pleasantly surprised with the history of the place and the friendliness of the people. Being part of the Commonwealth, English is spoken, traffic travels on the wrong side of the road and it has a very definite British aura about it. After reading about the 1982 war between Argentina & Britain it was interesting to hear first hand from the local tour guide. As a bonus, we had a couple of hours to wander the town, had the absolute BEST calamari ever at the local hotel. Then back to the ship and on our way further south. So far have had calm seas and warm weather so are enjoying this plus all the entertainment offered
on board.

CRUISING AND PUERTO MADRYN
Tuesday Dec 9
After our day at Montdvideo we had a day of rest and cruising we did what one is suppose to do on a holiday REST. I picked up a book in Banff, that I had started reading and got back into it a little. For me that is a big change for Ray it is normal (Ray had already read the book). As normal we went to the evening show in the Star Dust Lounge, it was a great show as usual.
Wednesday Dec 10
To day we arrived in Puerto Madryn, Argentina another day or touring. We had to be up early to catch our bus at 9 am. As usual on tour days the food lines are long as everyone is rushing to get off the ship. We were off to a penguin rookery. What we did not realize when making the booking was that the trip was going to be so long, it was a 200km ride each way with only one and a half hour visit at the site. With weather being so good we could have used more time though I did not need any more pictures of penguins. It was quite a site to see thousands of these birds, and they did not show any fear of people. The chicks had hatched but very few were visible as they had not yet come out of the dens. the adults had a long way to go for fish up to 2km. On TV most penguins are shown near ice but this is not the case with these birds. We arrived back at the ship about 5pm and set sail at 5:30. Again had another nice meal and went to the Star Dust lounge for another top notch show.What we are f
inding that was not expected is how flat and desolate the country is, no mountains just low hills and very little vegetation all low brush except near a river which we only saw one. Water for Puerto Madryn, had to be piped in from about 100km away, as compared to Uruguay that has water and exports it. The land/vegetation supports mainly sheep which are allowed to run free. The average homesteader runs about 800 sheep over 2000 acres. Tomorrow another day of cruising and rest.

CRUISING AND MONTEVEDIO
Sunday
After a late night at the Madera Tango show Sat. night, we managed a sleep in before rushing to get the last minutes of the complimentary breakfast at the hotel. From there we packed our bags and headed off to stand in line for the cruise check in. After what seemed like hours we boarded and located our cabin and were surprised to find our bags already delivered so were able to unpack and get settled in. We departed Buenos Aires about 5.30, following a long series of buoys as the channel is actually quite shallow.
After finding our way to one of the restaurants, we went to the evening show .....the cruise host totally wowed us as he was able to converse fluently in at least 6 or seven languages, sometimes what seemed to be without taking a breath...Based on the attendence there, there is a very international mix of people on the cruise. As expected, the entertainment was great with promises to have a good variety for the rest of the cruise. We then made our way to the lounge on the observation deck to listen to one of the groups playing jazz classical music for a couple of hours before making our way to bed as we are scheduled on an early morning excursion.
Monday
Dec 8,
We woke up to a beautiful warm day arriving in Montevideo, Uruguay just after 6.30 am. Time to grab a quick breakfast and get to the meeting point for our scheduled tour of the city and then off to the Al Rabida ranch for a taste of how life is lived in here. Our tour guide for the day was Claudia, an English teacher from a private school was full of information and had a great sense of humor. After a 45 min. drive we arrived at the ranch where we were met by four family members in south American traditional gaucho attire. We were treated to refreshments immediately, then the owner of the ranch, Olga gave us a short talk on the background of the family and how the ranch operated. From there we took a hayride to the beach, explored a bit, then returned for a typical Uruguan barbeque and some unique entertainment. All the vegetables for the salads were grown on the ranch and one of the boys cooked the meat over a wooden coal bed.....sweetbreads, kidney, sausage, lamb, beef, chicken and pork were the order of the day followed by fresh strawberries and peach pie.
Dinner complete, it was time for the sheep shearing, cow milking, horseback riding and some prairie surfing!! What a hoot! All in all, a really great tour and well worth the price.
Back to the ship for a quick nap, a light snack and the evening entertainment. Tomorrow is a day at sea so time to put the feet up, do a crossword or two and generally take it easy.

DAY TWO BUENOS ARIES
Day two in Buenos Aries. We were up early as we had made a reservation for a city tour this morning. It was a great day to sightsee, the weather was great with wall to wall blue sky. The temperature was about 22 or 23 degrees. Nadia (our guide) arrived about 9:30 we were the first to be picked up. There were only 12 of us on the bus and we were the only English speaking on the bus the others all spoke Spanish so she had to do it twice. We arrived back at the hotel about 1:30, and headed out for lunch at MacDonalds. After lunch it was an exploration of Central Park and streets on the way back to the hotel and a snooze the flight down was catching up on us.
Last evening we found the market street quite interesting so prior to dinner we went back to watch all the locals which is always interesting. This stroll gave us one of the best things we could ever learn about a city like Buenos Aries, and that is to keep all valuables out of sight of the pick pockets. YES we got picked and it cost us a pretty penny. Oh well on ward nothing can be done about it now. We did have a good walk, it is hard to find your way around in this areas as streets are narrow and not all corners are 90 degrees. Back to the room about 9 for some TV and reflections on the day.

One long day !
Wednesday morning finally arrived. I think Ray packed and repacked the bags all night. We were up 
about 6:30 and on the road by 7:30 with bags and cats packed up. We were at Wendy’s by 8:00. The cat’s were not too happy, Tigger even gave me a good hiss as I put him into the “Cat Appartment”.
Where Ray worried about packing bags, I thought about how bad the roads would be, as you know the roads were great and we were into Calgary early. We gave Colin a call and met for lunch, after lunch we still had time to burn so we hit a couple stores, being unable to find anything to spend money on the airport was the next stop. The flights from Calgary to Toronto and Toronto to Buenos Aries, were uneventful. Our flight from Toronto left at midnight and arrived at 3:00 pm on Thursday, Buenos Aries time. There was a total of 5 hr lost with 3 from Toronto. Neither one of us slept very much during the night. I had got some sleeping pills but we did not have them with us as when we went thru the security check we had some contraband that had to be check thru with the baggage. You guessed it that is where the sleeping pills were ! I had booked a car to pick us up at the airport to bring us to the El Conquitador. That was very much worth it. This is not a city that I will be renting a car, the traffic is terrible.
After a short nap we headed out for a walk to find something to eat. We found the market street. Lots of stores, markets in the middle of the street, and a very large crowds of people milling about on the street ( none of our pictures show the crowds.) The store ownerS we out on the
street trying to talk us in with great deal being offered ! It was interesting walking about in Central Park. Some of the trees which we felt were a type of Banyon Tree, were extremely large. There we some very interesting locals in the park.
As it has been a very long day and a half we are back to the hotel and ready to have a good nights sleep. There is a city tour booked
for tomorrow morning so will have 
to be up fairly 
early.

Just
a quick overview of our trip before we leave. As I am not sure about internet availablity on the ship I thought we would give you our itinerary and a map of our cruise. Our flight leaves Calgary on the 3rd of December via Toronto, arriving in Buenos Aires, the next day about 2pm. The next three nights our accommodations are at the El Conquistador Hotel. On Sunday we will board the Sun, about noon. While in Buenos Aries we plan on a little sightseeing and may even try to learn the Tango !!
Dec 21 we arrive in Santiago, Chile. Our hotel is the Four Points Sheraton, we are here for two nights. At this time we have no tours planned but I am sure we will find something to do while there. Our flight leaves Santiago on the 23 to Calgary via Toronto, arriving at 10:20 Am. Just in time to spend Christmas with Colin, Michelle and kids.
All going well we will try make some post along the way with a few pictures. Just as a note this will be our third cruise with Norwegian, the first around Hawaii in 2005, Alaska on the "Sun" this past spring, and now South America again on the "Sun". Our state room being about 9 doors away from the state room we were in on the Alaska trip, (this one has a balcony ) so we are familiar with the ship and the FOOD.
As this is the 21st of November our trip is getting close and we can now start counting sleeps till we leave. I am also counting jobs I have to do before we leave.
This could be interesting as we have never worked on a blog, lets cross our fingers.
