So finally after the epic expedition voyage until the Antarctic Peninsula, we started last leg of voyage into dreaded Drake Passage towards Ushuaia. Two days at sea and arrival in Ushuaia on third day’s morning.
Drake has history of rough weather and winds leading to almost 40-45ft tall waves. But weather gods continued to be good to us and we really entered into Drake Lake with waves barely 8ft tall.
We had wonderful sunrises and sunsets. The final presentation from expedition lead summarized our epic (over-used but true adjective here) voyage. Other passengers also chimed in to their favorite memories for each expedition outing.
The awards were presented for best team for logging the most miles walked, and our team did not win. Also in the photo competition, Shraddha’s photo was selected for final award but failed to win the award.
Last day before disembarking, we shared contact details with many friends. Such a memorable experience and we are going to miss the friends and camaraderie.
We got off the ship at 8am, and dropped our luggage into storage for late afternoon flight. In the meantime, we visited shoreline, some wildlife and local vegan food.
There was lot of birdlife at the marine preserve.
I got my hair cut snd felt lighter by 2kgs 😊
In the evening we took flight to El Calafate and then a ride to El Chalten.
The focus shifted from Antarctica to Argentina Patagonia now.
