<b><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have wanted to visit Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the center of Australia since I first researched and visited Australia almost 20 years ago. It's not an easy place to get to, and it's pretty isolated, sitting in the upper middle of this huge continent country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I had my chance this trip, as our ship itinerary was taking us from Sydney to Darwin over a period of about a week or so. Another couple from my cruise, Mark and Marilyn, posted that they were making a private side trip to Alice Springs and Uluru and were looking for others to join them. I jumped at the chance. It ended up just being the three of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">On day two of our stay in Sydney, at the crack of dawn, I left the ship and met up with Mark and Marilyn at the airport (they had stayed at a hotel near the airport overnight - this was all a big hassle because immigration was giving us lots of trouble about leaving the ship due to the issues with the Corona virus, which was just coming "into play" for visitors everywhere. It was about a 3 hour flight to Alice Springs. We were to stay there 3 nights and we had day trips planned during our stay there. Mark and Marilyn eventually decided to stay another night and then they flew to Darwin several days ahead of the ship arriving there (actually, the ship never did stop in Darwin, but that's another story for another post). I flew back to Cairns after our third day and met up with the ship the next morning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The flight was smooth and went by quickly - the views of the earth below were fascinating. We started off over Sydney and the beautiful harbors and beaches and ocean, and headed inland where the landscape slowly changed to this deep red, the outback laying prone beneath the sky. Such beauty in such starkness.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing we were told when we landed, before we got off the plane, was that the "flies are really bad this year, so make sure you have nets". Lucky for me, I had read enough ahead of time to know about the flies and brought a net with me. Mark and Marilyn each bought one at the airport before we got into the transport van to our hotel. These flies are not harmful, but they are plentiful and do I mean ever!!! And beyond annoying. They are everywhere and don't let up. I don't think I could have stood a minute, let alone 3 days if I didn't have a net on.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our first afternoon was booked with a city tour around Alice Springs. The locals here just call it Alice. It is located about equidistant from Adelaide and Darwin - 900 miles in each direction. Alice is in the middle of pretty much nowhere. But it's a bustling little town of about 25,000. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our first stop was at their Anzac Memorial. This is a monument and memorial to honor those Australians and New Zealanders who fought together and perished during World War 2 and other wars. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our next stop was at the School of the Air. A funny name by today's standards for what started as a distance learning school in 1951, by using radios to provide education to students living in remote areas of Australia - at cattle stations and later, aboriginal students living in small villages and outposts. Today, the school still operates, but most education is provided via online services. If it weren't for this school, many children living in remote areas would have little opportunities for education, unless they moved to either Alice Springs, Darwin or Adelaide, far away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Annually, the school tries to bring together a number of the kids by transporting them to Alice Springs for a few days and the kids all get to know one another "in person", and share in some fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below are some pictures from our visit to the school. The first one is a quilt of sorts where students made pieces showing their home.</span><br />

Started by John Flynn, this flying medical/emergency service started in 1928 and continues today. Like the School of the Air, this service filled a very real need to get medical and other emergency services to those living in remote areas of the outback. </span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></b><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There are eleven monoliths in Australia. The largest and most well known is Uluru, or Ayers Rock, as it was formerly known. A monolith is essentially a single, massive stone that rises from the earth. There are a number of them across the world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Uluru is a famous natural landmark of Australia. It's made of sandstone and sits 2,831 feet above sea level. It measures 2.2 miles long, 1.5 miles wide and has a circumference of 5.8 miles. It is thought to be well over 500 million years old. It's a well-visited site, and, along with Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), makes up the main part of the National Park in the area. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">People used to come to climb Uluru, but as of last fall (2019) that is no longer allowed. The indigenous peoples believe and consider Uluru to be a sacred spot, and climbing on it is considered disrespectful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It was first "sighted" by the English in 1873. Surveyor William Gosse saw it and named it after the current Chief Secretary of Australia, Sir Henry Ayers. The name stayed that way until 1993, when a dual name was created to also recognize the traditional aboriginal name of Uluru.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The nearby Kata Tjuta (also called the Olgas) is also considered a monolith, although their shape is more domed. Both areas are very interesting to visit and walk around. There are family caves, interesting flora and fauna, lots of critters. There are hidden small gorges with water as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Our day trip to Uluru began well before dawn, at about 5:00 AM. We were picked up at our hotel by a nice air conditioned bus. Tourism was down quite a bit by this time, so our bus only had about 20 people. Nice that we could spread out and not feel crowded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We drove for an hour and then stopped off at a cafe out in the middle of nowhere (well, every place in the Northern Territory is basically out in the middle of nowhere) for a nice buffet breakfast and a bathroom stop. The flies were up and about as well (they don't like the cool air at all). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We didn't arrive to the National Park where Uluru and the Olgas are until closer to mid day. A long drive. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We stopped off at a lookout point for a quick rest. Check out the red soil!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of our last stops was at a kitchen cave. There were a few of these around Uluru that different tribes used. Only women, girls and little children utilized these caves. Men and older boys camped out in nearby caves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The downside to not taking copious notes during a tour, and also waiting 4 months to write a post about my trip, means I have no clue what the "door" is that I was standing in front of with my arms outstretched. The best my memory can come up with is that it was believed to be an entrance to the spirit of Uluru inside. I do remember our guide telling us we could possibly feel the spirit if we did what I was doing, in the picture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It happened to be a super full moon the night we were there, and we were treated to a beautiful moon rise just to the left and behind Uluru. My photo doesn't capture the true beauty of the moment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We arrived back in Alice Springs about 12:30 AM, and by the time my head hit the pillow, it was past 1:00 AM. A very long, but very rewarding day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The tour company that we used for all of our tours in Alice Springs and Uluru was Emu Run. They have great reviews on Trip Advisor, and I felt like they did a great job on all of our tours. Each time we had a different guide and all of them were friendly and knowledgeable. For this last day trip, to the West MacDonnell Ranges, Bluey was our guide. He had some great stories/tales to tell during the day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The MacDonnell Ranges run both east and west of Alice Springs, and it is a mountain range and it's own bioregion, as well. The range is about 400 miles long. I opted for the West MacDonnell trip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Once again, there were flies everywhere - this was definitely the season for them. Our first stop was at Simpsons Gap. Bluey parked our van (there were only about 7 of us on the tour for the day) and pointed us towards the hiking trail, which led to the Standley Chasm. The morning was cool enough, but the heat of the day promised to change our comfort level later on.</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I thought about the outback in Australia, I always imagined it as pale, dusty, no water, few trees and certainly not green. Wrongo!! This place is amazing in its diversity of fauna and flora - grasses, trees, the earth itself. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not too far away is Ellery Creek Big Hole. The calm and serene water hides a bit of a nasty reputation. Several people have actually drowned in this water. You'd think it wasn't deep, but it is and there are rocks and tree limbs under the surface that can trip you up.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My flight arrived in Cairns late in the afternoon. The ship wasn't due to arrive until the next morning, so I had pre-arranged to stay at the Hilton right by the pier. I used points to book a nice room. The next morning I was able to watch the ship come in!!! Who knew that this would be our last port stop before we had to leave and find our way home........</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My room at the Hilton was VERY nice. I had a great view, a large balcony and some very colorful birds entertained me!</span><br />

That's my friend and fellow passenger Toya, having her "pre-breakfast" photo taken by a crew officer as we had just passed underneath the bridge. She wanted a photo before the bridge got too far away. Mission accomplished!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There's a lot to see and do in Sydney. The last time I was here, in 2018, I visited Tauranga Zoo, which is a fabulous place. Many of my fellow passengers went out of town to see the famous Blue Mountains. This year, I decided it was my time to go. My friend Bonita had planned a small group tour out there so off we went. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many of the bigger tours always stop for awhile at Featherly Park, an outdoor zoo/sanctuary, near the Blue Mountains. Our small group went, instead, to Calmsley Hill, another sanctuary, but a small one. There was plenty to see.</span><br />

Yes, Virginia, there are camels in Australia. In fact, there are more than a million feral camels here. The British settlers brought them over in the 19th century to help with working the land. Now, especially after the horrible wildfires late last year, the camels have become a big problem, and the country has plans in place to cull thousands of them. Looks like this fellow will be spared...<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A sulphur-crested cockatoo. They are abundant in this part of the country, and are intelligent, curious and LOUD. Very precocious as well. This one, below, outside the enclosure, is wild and is missing it's buddy, who sits behind the enclosure. I spent at least 10 minutes watching these two - the one outside was screeching and crying up a storm, and finally flew away to a nearby tree. Made me a little sad.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I first heard about gannets a few years ago when I was in New Zealand. There was a shore excursion to see them but I had already made other plans and so missed the opportunity. I heard that they were an interesting species of seabird and that to visit their colonies along the ocean was pretty spectacular.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Luckily for me, my friend Bonita set up a private excursion for our first day in Auckland to go out and see the gannet colony at Muriwai Beach. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gannets are large white seabirds with yellowish heads, black-tipped wings and long bills. There are 3 different species of gannets - the northern gannet is the largest and can be found in Scotland. Another species is found in southern Africa and the last species, the ones we saw, lives in New Zealand and Southern Australia.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gannets hunt fish by diving into the sea. They can chase their prey underwater. They dive from some impressive heights and a fast speed - up to 98 feet high and over 60 miles per hour. This feat allows them to catch fish that are much deeper in the water, unlike other seabirds who can't dive as deep or as quickly. Fun fact: because gannets have this ability to dive deep, they can eat quite a lot - so their name is often used to describe someone with a voracious appetite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They breed on islands and on coasts and normally lay just one egg. Their feet keep the egg warm. They reach maturity at 5 years. When they are first born they are fluffy white and gray, but by the time they are one year of age, they are completely black. Then they gradually turn white.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They start nesting in August and stay at their location until close to May. At Muriwai, where we visited, the gannets were very accessible from the beach path. There were several thousand there at the first of March. When they do migrate around May, they head to the western coast of Australia, where they spend their winter in warmer weather. In August, they return. The juveniles start leaving their nests in March and April. They need to learn to fly before they can go with their parents to Australia, so they practice - a lot. When we were there it was fun to watch them try spreading their wings and walking around. They also squawk quite a lot.</span><br />

At the top is the grave and a monument of Sir John Logan Campbell, a founding father of the city of Auckland. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first time I visited Auckland, New Zealand, was in 2002. My daughter and I took a nearly 3 week trip to Australia and New Zealand and we had a tremendous amount of fun. We snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, skydived in Queenstown, rappelled into caves near Waitomo and climbed behind waterfalls back to sunshine. And many other things. Our trip ended in Auckland and we flew home after spending only about a day in the pretty city.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2018 I returned to Auckland, and spent a few days discovering the city before I picked up the ship to sail a segment of the world cruise that year. Auckland is a beautiful, albeit expensive, city, and there is lots to do and see. It has wonderful museums and beautiful green spaces, not to mention lots of water surrounding it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what does one do when provided the opportunity to visit again?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, why not fly over the area? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's exactly what my friend Mieke and I decided to do. We had 2 full days to spend in Auckland, and we thought spending half of one of those days airborne would be "just the ticket." The weather that morning was slightly overcast, but there were hints of blue sky and sunshine in the forecast. We normally would have taken a seaplane for this little adventure, but unfortunately the seaplane company's pilot had suffered a heart attack and was recuperating, unable to fly anytime soon. The company offered us an alternative flight in a Cessna (with another pilot), rather than a seaplane. So we went with that. And we weren't disappointed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a tiny little plane - ack! Barely room for 3 normal sized people. Snort and I sat in front next to Mike, our pilot, and Mieke sat in the back. And off we went! The trip lasted about 45 minutes take-off to landing. We flew over the countryside from the little airport, towards the downtown area of Auckland, over the harbour, and out to the large volcano island called Rangitoto. Did you know that Auckland is built on a volcano field? Yep. Over 50 volcanoes make up the hills and valleys all around the area. Of course, these are no longer active. But since they are all magma volcanoes, the magma still flows under the surface and who knows when a new volcano may form.......</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were not sure we were going to be able to visit Tonga. With the growing fear and threat of the CoronaVirus, countries and ports around the world started getting nervous. Three prior ships were denied entry to Tonga in the past week or so. Rumors abounded on our ship that we, too, would be denied. So, it was with great delight that we learned on the day that we would be docking in Tonga! Yay!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've never been, and looked forward to seeing a new place. Meeting new people. Seeing new wonders. Learning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had signed up for a private tour with about a dozen or so other guests, from our roll call. It was to be about a 5-6 hour tour around the island, and included an optional swim in a cave. Bathing suit and towel in tow, I looked forward to our day.</span><br />

It's inside the well-known Polynesian triangle - with Hawaii, Easter Island and New Zealand as its 3 points. Tongatapu is the main island of Tonga, where the royal family resides, and Nuku'alofa is the capital. There's just a little over 100,00 people, most of whom live on Tongatapu. Every time I look at the globe and see what a vast amount of space there is that is the Pacific Ocean, I am wowed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tale of the Throwing Rock (aka Tsunami Rock). The story goes that the demi-god Maui Kisikisi, son of Maui, was annoyed after always being awakened by his father's rooster crowing in the middle of the night. So Maui Kisikisi chased the rooster and threw rocks at it, but the rooster was able to escape by flying across the water to another island. But Maui Kisikisi picked up this huge boulder and flung it across the sea to this island and hit the rooster, finally killing it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The more contemporary theory of how this ginormous rock got here is that it was tossed up on shore during a tremendous tsunami thousands of years ago. But interestingly, there's no such other type of rock found on this island.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here comes Rarotonga!! This island is the largest of about 15 islands in a group called the Cook Islands. Located in the South Pacific, where it seems we've been for about a year.......... it is about 26 square miles and has a population of less than 20,000. It was "discovered" by the Europeans in 1823. Today, you can fly there direct from Auckland, Sydney, Tahiti and.....Los Angeles. Come on out, the water's nice!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our guide, who was a hoot, by the way, engaged all of us as he demonstrated what you can do with a coconut tree. They use the fronds to make baskets and rugs, and other items. The roots of the tree are used to make medicines (which, he said, taste horrible - he'd rather stay sick than drink the medicine his mom used to give him). The coconuts are used fully - the outside stringy stuff is used as tinder for fires, the outside soft peel is used as cloth, the juice inside is for drinking, and the white tender coconut meat is used to eat, make coconut cream from, and also to make oil, although that is a long and laborious process.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your name was Bligh, and you were the captain of the HMS Bounty back in 1789, you were in for a very bad time. You see, he and his men had spent some time on the island of Tahiti for a few months, and the men had started to lack discipline. When the ship set sail again, Bligh had some troubles with his men, and started handing out punishments left and right. Acting Lieutenant Fletcher Christian staged a mutiny, and set the Captain and 18 others in the ship's open launch. Christian and 25 others (some willing, some not) sailed on and eventually landed at Pitcairn Island. They burned the ship and its remains lay at the bottom of the "Bounty Bay" today. Bligh sailed more than 4,000 miles before he reached safety. Once he arrived in England, a ship was sent out in search of the mutineers. Some were captured on Tahiti, but it wasn't until 1808 that Pitcairn Island was discovered. By then, only one mutineer was still alive - John Adams. All of the others, including Fletcher Christian, had died - many had been killed by some of the Polynesian captives. By this time, the group had grown - there were now descendents of the original mutineers and the Polynesians from Tahiti. John Adams was not prosecuted, nor was anyone else. He died and his grave is the only one that has been officially discovered. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, 55 people continue to live on Pitcairn Island. Most are descendents from Fletcher Christian and the few original mutineers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some small cruise ships, like ours, visit Pitcairn Island throughout the year. We are not allowed to disembark, but at least half of the islanders come out and board our ship, in their longboats, bringing with them handmade crafts such as jewelry and wood items, postcards, tshirts and their famous honey. They set up booths around our pool area and the frenzy begins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, one or two islanders give an hour-long presentation in our mainstage theater, where they describe what it is like to live on the island, how they get supplies, and other interesting tidbits. A question and answer session follows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a great morning with the islanders. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">View of Pitcairn as we were arriving in the morning. There are actually 4 of these islands in the group - Pitcairn, Ducie, Oeno and Henderson.The four volcanic islands only make up about 18 square miles in total, with Henderson being the largest at 86%, but only Pitcairn is inhabited. They are a protectorate of Britain. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can actually visit Pitcairn Island and stay awhile if you'd like. In fact, they'd love it if you'd stay permanently! They need to increase their population. Currently there are only 2 women of child-bearing age, and one of them is considered to be too young to get married.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A number of years ago, islanders discovered this turtle on the other side of the island. It was during the time when the popular TV show - The A Team - was on, so they named him Mr. T. Years later, a biologist came around and said their Mr. T was really a Mrs. T. And so it goes............she's still alive and kicking.</span><br />

They recently "paved" this rocky road and have acquired a few light trucks and ATVs. They used to have to hand carry all their supplies up this hill to their town.</span><br />

And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh, but my daring, what if you fly?" -- Erin Hanson</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A long, long time ago, on a small but beautiful island deep in the middle of the great Pacific Ocean, there was a settlement of people, living on this place they called Rapa Nui. It was about 300 AD when this clan of people had settled on the island that we call today - Easter Island. We call it this now, because a Dutch ship "discovered" it on Easter Sundy in 1722. At that time, there were only a few thousand people living there, and 100 years later, that population had dwindled down to just over 100 Rapa Nui surviving.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The big deal about Easter Island has to do with the nearly 900 moai that are there. They're stone "statues" that are believed to have been built from a stone quarry some miles inland called Rano a Raraku. It seems to have been an engineering feat that these moai were carved, and carried across to all parts of the island, then erected. Each moai is estimated to weigh about 70 tons. TONS. And there is no evidence of tools, or machines, or even ways that these moai could have been transported from the quarry to their final resting places.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The moai statues date back over a thousand years. They are tall, carved monolithic structures made out of volcanic rock. Each moai has a huge head, long earlobes, and only a torso. Each is about 13 feet tall, but a few exceed 40 feet in height. They have wide noses, and jutting chins. They also all have eye sockets, but only a very few included eyes. It is thought that the eyes were made of coral with black stone as the iris, and the reason many are missing today is because when the tribes on the island went to war, many of the statues were toppled and it is thought that the enemy stole the valuable coral eyes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since the polynesian history includes many carvings with spiritual meanings, so too, are the moai at Easter Island. Archealogists believe that these moai represent the Rapa Nui ancestors, because the statues are always facing away from the sea and towards the village, or community, in essence, looking after it's people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When the Dutch arrived in 1722, according to historical accounts, all of the moai were still standing, but 100 years later, many were toppled, and most of the Rapa Nui people were gone. Some theories say it was because of a terrible earthquake, another theory is tribal wars that decimated the statues and the people. The most eccentric theory is that of a woman on the island who possessed special powers and she knocked all of the moai down during an angry outburst. I can see that. But maybe it’s really just this:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, how were these moai moved from the quarry, once completed, to the various spots all over the island? Well, once again we have some theories. First of all, right on Rapa Nui people! You guys were pretty amazing. So why did you all but disappear? Some believe that the elders of the island commanded the statues to move. Others believe aliens controlled the carving and moving of the moai. But, the most likely and practical theory is that the Rapa Nui people chopped down the many trees originally on the island, to use to move the moai. But they destroyed the trees in the process and eventually this resource was used up, because new trees could not be planted. This disturbed the whole balance of their survival abilities and eventually the people, too, disappeared.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So now you know the story and the mystery of Easter Island. Hopefully you can appreciate what a wonderful opportunity it is to be able to visit here. And, if you're coming along on a cruise ship, it's not an easy feat. Between wind and waves and currents, it's about a 50/50 shot that you'll make it onto a tender and to the shore. On last year's world cruise, stories abounded that it was an absolute disaster and debacle. Only a few of the people that wanted to go ashore last year were able - the loading and unloading of passengers onto tenders was extremely difficult - sometimes taking 45 minutes just to load one tender. Many passengers with private tours never got the chance to go, because the conditions became too dangerous around the middle of the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year, I hedged my bets and spent the extra money to purchase a ship tour, and a morning one at that. And then we all prayed to the the gods above to have good weather so that everyone that wanted to go ashore, could. And we were blessed with getting our prayers and wishes answered. We awoke on this beautiful Sunday morning to clear skies and temperate waters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A glorious and "best day ever" kind of day awaited us. And what a day it was.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our first stop today was at Tahai. Several groups of moai are close by the marina. Note the jet coming in for a landing in the first photo, below!</span><br />

There are just a couple of flights to/from the island per day. One comes from Tahiti, the other from Santiago. Easter Island "belongs" to Chile.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">San Antonio is the current port city that cruise ships are using as a gateway to Santiago, Chile's capital city. It used to be Valparaiso, which is a very nice city on the coast, but someone decided that they didn't want cruise ships coming there any longer, so San Antonio said "hey! We'll be glad to take them and collect port fees." And so here we are, or were.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My second visit here to San Antonio, my fourth visit to this general port area. The city, to me, is bustling and "porty", and not all that attractive, in my humble opinion. It looks run down and sad, at least the portions of the city and outlying areas that we drove through, on our way to a nearby winery. Well, it was about an hour's drive away, into the Casablanca wine region. Located about 2 miles from the ocean, Casa Marin, in the San Antonio Valley, is an avant-garde winery known for producing award-winning savignon blancs and pinot noirs. We stopped here for a tour of the vineyard and winery, including a tasting of 4 different wines, none of which were their premium ones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was not impressed, although I liked the dog that trailed along the tour with us. The nearby village of Lo Abarca was also nice to drive through, as they had some beautiful mosaics along the road. Casa Marin also boasted a few mosaics of their own, which were, to me, the highlight of the visit, other than the aforementioned dog...........</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another long drive and we arrived at a small town known for its pottery, Pomaire. There was a set menu lunch waiting at a restaurant for us, which was pricey and just okay food. And, we didn't have a lot of time there, so once we finished eating, there was all of 3 minutes or so to see the pottery in the town. Which meant, we didn't see the pottery in the town. We drove down it's one street and hoped for the best, looking out the windows. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Again, another long drive out to the seaside home of the famous Chilean Nobel prize-winning writer and poet, Pablo Neruda. It is a lovely home situated on the cliffs above the beach, and Neruda's grave is there, along with his wife's. But we didn't have time to go inside the small home. So.</span><br />

You are nowhere compared to where you can go." -- Bob Proctor</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our guide says that the Straits of Magellan are "home to a million wonders." Sailing through and along the Straits of Magellan, one can absolutely agree with this statement. In fact, this whole mid-to-southern area of Chile, leading down to Ushuaia, Argentina, is like being on another planet altogether. The glaciers, inlets, bays, the wildlife in the water and in the air and on the land are not what most of us see at home. The weather is cool and crisp, the Andes border us on the east, the ocean on the west. We were lucky to experience some clear weather and as a result, got to witness the snow capped Andes mountains on more than one day. That's relatively rare.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The city of Punta Arenas was born and raised up from, of all things, the California Gold Rush. The Tierra del Fuego gold rush followed on the footsteps of the California one, and the city began to grow, to accomodate this new activity, in the late 1880's. Wool production started here as well. When the Panama Canal opened in the beginning of the 20th century, however, the maritime traffic declined drastically and the city began to falter. Today, though, the city is thriving again, and attracts commercial fishing vessels, cruise ships and travelers to and from Antarctica. There is also an Antarctic research center here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was my fourth visit to Punta Arenas. I've been there and done that here. So today, I decided to join an excursion that took us to the top of one of the nearby "mountains", where they ski in the winter, and do a mountain hike. We took the ski lift chairs up the mountain, and hiked down. The weather was sunny and warm, with just a gentle breeze. It was a nice hike. Later, we were dropped in town at the central plaza, where I met up with my friend Kathi. We visited a couple of yarn stores and stopped for a bite to eat, before returning to the ship.</span><br />

He is 94 and still works the NY Times crossword every day, except Saturdays. "Diabolical", he says!! I totally agree.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a fun Chef and Sommelier dinner tonight - this theme was James Bond. Throughout dinner, we had to try to figure out who was James Bond. Turned out, it was Philip, our Dining Room manager. Of course, he absolutely looks the part. Very suave and debonair.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I first visited Puerto Montt waaaay back in 2003, while on my first South America cruise with my friend Jim. On that first visit, he and I opted to go river rafting down the Petrohue River, and we had a blast! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second time I visited was in 2016, on my second South America cruise (and my first Antarctica visit). A small group of us from my Cruise Critic group took a private tour out to the Petrohue River, along Lake Lanquihue and to the city of Puerto Varas. That day was sunny and clear and warm and I remember it fondly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time, I ended up doing the same tour. If I remembered properly, I would not have done it again, although we had a really beautiful day and the weather was as sunny and clear as it was in 2016. I could have done something different, but I didn't. I took more pictures this time, but my post from 2016 probably has very similar pictures as this one does. Oh well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Puerto Montt is a port city that is located in Chile's Lake District, and is considered to be the gateway to the Andes. The nearby city of Puerto Varas sits on the shore of Lake Llanquihue, it's size is larger than that of the entire city of Santiago. It's a beautiful vacation spot and in the summer you can find many families and travelers camping and staying at lakeside inns and camping grounds. The water is cold, though! In the 50's, I'm told. Alrighty then. I saw many brave souls in that water as we were driving along the lake on our way to the Petrohue River rapids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Puerto Montt is the area's commercial fishing hub, seeing as there are hundreds of salmon farms in the calm waters off the nearby coast. Salmon is one of the country's top exports these days, lagging behind only those of copper and wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started our day by tendering in to the port, while the ship sat out in the harbor at anchor. We had an almost full day tour planned - first stop after a 90-minute drive out to the Petrohue River, past Lake Llanquihue. The scenery is beautiful and the drive went quickly. We had a great view of Osorno volcano (you'll see the pics below), as well as the other volcano, the "bad boy" Calbuco, which last erupted in 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The rapids of the Petrohue are fun to see, especially against the backdrop of Osorno.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later in the day, we then drove about an hour to the city of Puerto Varas, where we had time to have a lunch and a walk around the lakeshore, before heading back to town. Before they dropped us at the port dock, we stopped in the city at a nice overlook of the city and the bay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another nice day!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below is a picture of when the big bad boy volcano called Calbuco erupted in April, 2015. It happened in the morning and caught many people completely off guard, as the warning system just detected it when it erupted. Can you imagine looking out the window of your home or office, or being in the car driving when this happened? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Part of the adventure in visiting Antarctica, if one is on a South American cruise, is, at some point, sailing around Cape Horn. This famous landmark is a small island called Hornos Island, located at the bottom of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, in southern Chile. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Being at the top boundary of the Drake Passage, passage around the Horn can be difficult and dangerous because of high winds, strong currents and large waves. It was first named Kaap Hoorn by a Dutchman named Willem Schouten. He named it after a city called Hoorn in the Netherlands. Until the Panama Canal opened in 1914, ships transiting across the world for trade, etc. had to pass this way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On the island is a lighthouse, with a keeper and his family, and also a monument to those sailors who have perished in these nearby waters. The monument is an albatross, built to withstand 120 mph winds and was erected in 1992.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last year, when we were here on the Prinsendam, we sent a tender out to the island and the Chilean officials there stamped each of our passports with the Cape Horn official stamp. No such thing happened this year with our current ship. I'm not likely to ever get a chance to receive this stamp again, so I'm grateful I had the opportunity last year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Above is the picture of the monument. Below, Cape Horn. There are a few pictures, in fact.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While this photo, below, is not near Cape Horn, I felt the need to include it here, because it was the last big iceberg we passed on our way to the Cape, further south in the Drake Passage, the day before. Our ship would look very small next to this behemoth berg.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After passing the horn, we sailed on towards Ushuaia, which is part of Argentina. While nearby Port Williams, of Chile, is the southernmost "town" in the world, Ushuaia boasts that it is the southernmost "city" in the world. Either way, we were at the southern end of Tierra del Fuego, in the archipelago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later in the afternoon, we arrived and docked in Ushuaia, for an overnight stay. It was still very light out when dinner was over, so since the following day was to be a short one (leaving at 1:30), I decided to go out this evening and walk the town. This was my 4th visit to Ushuaia, and I'd been out to the National Park, boated on the Beagle Channel, and hiked around the shores and lakes that can be found out of town. Below are pictures of some of the town.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These 3 black dogs, above, were creating a bit of a ruckus in the street, and traffic had to wait for them to decide which direction they wanted to go. As in most of South America, stray dogs roam the streets of the city. They are well fed and generally friendly; locals often put out food and water for the dogs. Some belong to people, but during the day the dogs go out and hang with their "buds".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perched on the edge of Beagle Channel, Ushuaia is surrounded by mountains and it's really a beautiful little city. It started out as a penal colony in the middle of the 20th century, where many of Argentina's hardened criminals were sent. They actually built the prison themselves. After the financial crash in 2002, the government started incentivizing people to settle here by offering them a tax-free society and high wages for workers. Tourism increased since then, as well, as this is a hopping off point for travelers to Antarctica. It worked. The city's population has more than doubled since I first visited here in 2003.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of my favorite entertainers, Ruben Vilagrand, is an interesting illusionist and visual artist from Spain. I've seen him probably 4 or 5 times now, and enjoy trying to figure out some of his tricks/illusions during his act. I know what to look for now. Anyway, at the end of his shows, he does a few minutes of shadow puppets and he's really good!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our journey through the Drake Passage down to the "frozen continent" was smooth and uneventful. That is not always the case - the passage is well known for unstable weather, high rolling seas, and general marine mayhem. I've sailed the passage round trip three times now and most times it's been okay. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were to spend 4 days cruising around the Antarctic Peninsula, meandering through channels and bays and even touching up against the mainland. But Mama Nature had other things in mind, and not all of our itinerary went according to plan. It was cold (well, duh, it's always cold here), windy (yep, windiest place on earth) and overcast. The Coronavirus from China even got in the way - the Palmer Station (U.S. summer research station on the Peninsula) cancelled their call to our ship to be on the safe side - it is very remote here and wouldn't do well to get a virus that could potentially infect everyone at the station.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ice prevented us from channeling into some of the smaller bays and inlets - and fog on the morning of day 4 completely wiped out any plans for crusing that day - so we left early and made a slow sail for Cape Horn. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There were wonderful opportunities for photographs in spite of some of the weather-related problems and we did see a bit of sun from time to time - also whales, penguins, seals and birds. Below is a selection of my favorites from the time we spent there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To be honest, I didn't label the photos as to exactly where we were - but we visited Deception Island, Admiralty Bay, Paradise Bay, Gerlache Strait, Errera Channel, Anvers Island (where Palmer Station is located), King George Island (part of the South Shetlands) and others. We passed several research stations, among them Chile, Brazil (brand new), Ecuador, Poland, and I think also, Peru. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We passed glaciers, ice forms:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> - icebergs are the big ones, at least 16 feet above sea level</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> - bergy bits, which are between 3 and 8 feet above sea level</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> - growlers, less than 3 feet in height</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> - brash ice, which are little pieces that crackle when they melt in the sea water (I took a short video of these, and the crackling sound was much louder than I thought. Trying to upload a video, however, takes forever using satellite internet, so I didn't include it)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A very different trip than last year - but still an incredible opportunity to visit this massively fantastic place at the bottom of the world.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The glaciers in Antarctica are different from the glaciers in more temperate climate zones - think Alaska - they are not confined to valleys but are so deep and massive that they completely take over the land and cover mountain ranges. They make up a "massive shroud of ice" called an ice sheet. The Antarctic Ice Sheet dwarfs all other ice sheets on earth. The sheet covers Antarctica up to a depth of over 15,000 feet. It's so heavy it smashes the land underneath. When the glaciers meet the sea water, big pieces fall off and that's what makes the icebergs. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Falkland Islands are a two day journey for our ship from the mainland of South America; Uruguay specifically. It is one of those ports, because of its location and it’s weather, that is often missed or a visit cut short, due in large part to heavy winds and large ocean swells. And rain. And cold. And did I mention the winds?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning we experienced all three - and as a result, our attempt at being able to make a full stop here was aborted pretty early on. Another ship, the Celebrity Eclipse, was already in the harbor, anchored, and had sent about 200 passengers to shore. When we sent our tender to the marina dock, it was difficult to tie up. The harbor master deemed the waves too high, water breaking over our tender dock, and unsafe. Our tender returned, and the captain made the disappointing news that we would not be staying. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me, this 4th visit, I was not too upset. But for many others on the ship, this was either their first time here, or their second and even third time and still not able to go ashore. Stanley is one of those ports where it's very common to not be able to get ashore. I've been very lucky. All three prior visits I've landed and had a fabulous time - seeing penguins, walking the streets of the small town, enjoying the views. To those who have missed seeing Stanley and the Falklands, I'm so sorry. I understand the disappointment, but keep trying. It's worth it! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following a couple of days at sea to rest up from our swinging time in Rio, we were revitalized and ready to hit three ports in a row - Buenos Aires sandwiched between Punta Del Este and Montevideo, Uruguay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First stop - Punta Del Este. What a wonderful seaside resort! This was my second call to this great place. Weather was fantastic again, and I had booked a tour to visit the Ralli Museum and Casapueblo, two places I did not get to see last time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Punta Del Este is a very popular getaway spot for South Americans and international celebrities. There is virtually no crime here - you can leave your valuables on your beach towel and go for a swim with no worries. The city is quite busy in the summer months, especially during January, but the rest of the year it's practically a ghost town. There are some wonderful residential neighborhoods here, and beautiful beaches. Nightlife is hopping during the summer, and there's a lot of restaurants and music venues to keep you coming back. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a tender port, with a longish ride - 1.5 miles. That can translate to about a 20-25 minute ride, depending on the waves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shortly after arriving at the marina (full of fancy schmancy looking yachts, I might add), we boarded our tour bus and headed for a nice little tour around the area. We stopped at an intersection called the Four Waters (there's even a restaurant on the corner called by this name), where, if you look forward, left, right and back, you will see water. Fun! a couple of blocks further, there's a pretty lighthous, built in France, but shipped here and reassembled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around on the Atlantic side, is Playa Brava, a very nice beach. It's also the "home" of the Hand sculpture, which I wrote about in my post last year. Depending on your source, this sculpture can mean several things. One holds that it is a monument to those who have drowned in the waters there. Another is that it is man being born from the earth, his hand reaching upwards to God. I rather prefer the latter. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dali's famous image, the soft watch, suspended upon the tree of life. The wrapped woman represents desire, reality and the material world. The pensive angel represent the deeply religious aspect of man. "Notwithstanding these two aspects which guide our daily life, time reigns supreme, and therefore Dali has crowned time "king" - the master of all mankind."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our last stop in Punta Del Este was the home of artist Carlos Paez Vilaro. It's an all-white outside, with an interesting architectural design. It was hand built by the artist himself, and is an homage to his son, who was one of the survivors of the "Miracle in the Andes" plane crash in the 1970's. It reminds me very much of Gaudi's work. Carlos passed away a few years ago, but when he was still alive, he would often greet visitors and give them a tour himself. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">LOOKING FOR YARN IN BUENOS AIRES</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My fourth visit to Buenos Aires, so I've been here, done that. Last year, Kathi, Pat and I spent one afternoon of our two day stay shopping for yarn in the well known street of Sabortini Ortiz. It's a 30 minute tax ride from the ship, but well worth the time to go, if you're a knitter or crocheter. They have a number of yarn shops along a 3 block area, and the prices are about 1/3 of what you'd pay at home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since we only had one day here this year, Kathi wanted to return to the shops, and since I'm a new knitter and (slightly) improving crocheter, I was interested in returning as well. I was going to be in search of getting more of this multi-colored yarn that I used to knit scarves for my granddaughters. I am hoping to crochet some little lap blankets for them using the same yarn. It's very colorful!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's Kathi, below, at our first shop. Look how happy she is! This is definitely her nirvana.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the yarn I purchased. This is destined to be a long neck scarf. Also, I did find the colorful yarn from last year, and I bought enough to make two small blankets for the girls. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">MONTEVIDEO</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once, again, another stop in Montevideo. This marked my 3rd visit. First time I went with friends Karen and Joanne to a few wineries outside of town. Second time was last year and I wandered the quiet streets on our Sunday visit. I also visited the Tango museum and the building in which it is housed. This year, another stroll along the pedestrian-only streets was worth the time. There was also a well known yarn shop outlet that Kathi wanted to visit, and since that was along the route, we both took a stroll together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below is the cathedral. I am not sure if I went inside it last year. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Less than a year ago I visited Rio for the very first time. We spent two wonderful days there and I saw all the big highlights - Christ The Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Ipanema and Cocacabana Beaches, the favelas, Carnival preparations, Samba schools, and had fun with wild and crazy street parties, pre-Carnival.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, having two new days this year to spend, I wanted to do something different. Discussing what could be done for a group of us who had previously visited Rio and wanted something different, Marcelo of DoBrazilRight (a fantastic tour company) came up with an all-day trip outside of Rio to Petropolis, the old imperial city. Of course, another great Brazilian meat lunch was included as part of our day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is about an hour's ride out of Rio and up into the mountains to Petropolis. It's named after the last emperor of Brazil, Pedro II. A summer palace was built for his family and they enjoyed many years of happiness there. He is buried in the nearby Cathedral of Saint Peter of Alcantara, another place we visited during our trip there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our first stop was at the Palacio Quitandinha, which opened in 1942 as a Casino and hotel. At the time, it was the largest casino in South America. But then gambling was outlawed in 1946, so the casino closed but the hotel remained. You could see what a fun place it must have been. The man made lake out front is in the shape of Brazil. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can see the German influence in the casino/hotel, as well as all over Petropolis, as Pedro hired Germans and their families to come to Brazil and build his city.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The casino's rooms and halls were large and airy, and some rooms are now used as art galleries, with rotating displays by local artists.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was a first!! Dental floss and mouthwash in the ladies washroom. Really good idea, after a meal of meat. Some people on my tour were grossed out by this and said they'd never ever EVER use that floss. I just used a long piece and didn't use the bottom end, then washed my hands after and used the mouthwash. Not any worse than being on the ship................</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2019, we visited several ports that are repeated this year, especially those at the beginning, in the eastern part of South America. Belem and Recife are two in Brazil that are repeats this year. As a result, I opted not to do a tour because they are mostly ports where one tour covers the bulk of the sights to see. Not all may agree with me on this, but to each their own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In Recife, the oldest synagogue in the Southern Hemisphere is one such sight that I missed last year, because it was pouring cats and dogs and elephants the day we were there. So this time, my friend Bonita and I wanted to go. Looking at the GPS, we saw that it was just an 8 minute walk from the cruise port. Perfect!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not so perfect. The ship's port guide was busy warning everyone not to walk alone anywhere in Recife. It wasn't safe, he said. Crime was rampant, he said. You could get mugged, he said. Sigh. We think he was slightly overstating the dire situation, but once Bonita's husband heard this, he nixed Bonita from going, by saying HE wasn't going. She and I hemmed and hawed, wrung our hands, and finally decided to be safe than sorry, so we didn't go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Turns out, several tours went there, and several people from those tours walked back to the ship from the synagogue, without a care or worry. Well. We heard all about the synagogue from those that went. I could see how very disappointed Bonita was, and I felt bad. To me, it didn't matter that much, but I had wanted to see it too, and I wanted to support Bonita in the endeavor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Turns out, it's not a working synagogue and hasn't been for quite a long time. When the Dutch ruled the area, the Jews and the synagogue were "allowed" to worship there and live there, but when the Portuguese came they gave the Jews 3 choices - convert to Christianity; leave, or be killed. So some converted and most left. The Portuguese covered it up and built stuff on top of it. Many years later, during an excavation, the original synagogue was discovered, and a museum of sorts was created. That's what exists today. There's not much to it, but it is sacred ground, wouldn't you think? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, no real pictures. My friend Kathi and I did take the ship shuttle into the center of old Recife to the old prison which is now a crafts market. We wandered around for a little while and then came back. And that was that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't have many photos of the two stops, but I am including pictures from our first Chef and Sommelier dinner in the Pinnacle Grill. It was a very nice menu with wine pairings for each course. 7 courses in all. Yum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've also included a few pictures of some of the crafts we've done on sea day afternoons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And they say there's nothing to do on sea days................</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I visited Devil’s Island last year. In fact, I posted about it, so if you want the "devil in the details, look to my post dated July 2019. I am very lucky to be able to visit Devils Island twice! This time, it was a very hot day, and I didn't get off the ship until the early afternoon. I retraced many of my steps from last year, but mostly kept to the dirt road that surrounds the island. I walked all the way around, about 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. The far side of the island has gorgeous views and is cooler and more windy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below are some new pictures I took during my walk. Some of the buildings are parts of the original prison, one is now a small boutique hotel. Monkeys still rule the place, and the tradewinds blowing the palm trees makes for some nice photos.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My whining paid off -- I was lucky enough to get moved to a new cabin!!! It's on the Dolphin Deck, which is the bottom-most passenger deck, at the aft (rear) of the ship. It's my preferred spot (the aft) and even though I have no clue what's beneath me, it's quiet, bigger and I have a nice window with nothing outside but sky and waves. No intrepid peekers-in. Ha!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This pianist/singer is John Bressler. He is a terrific piano player and a rock and roller at heart. He put on 2 great shows during the week that he was on board. He was a big hit. He played one of my all-time favorite songs - MacArthur Park. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On sea days, we have arts and crafts in the afternoons. We make a variety of things. Here's a pair of turtle earrings we made one day. I feel like I'm a kid again, doing after school activities until Mom or Dad picked me up after work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, finally, this is really really REALLY big news: Snort got a new buddy. Meet Ollie. He's a sloth, in case you don't recognize what he is. They get along very well and enjoy hanging out together in the cabin when I'm away. Ollie's a bit bigger than Snort, so not sure how well he'll do crammed into my backpack when I'm touring, but we'll see how it goes. He's so soft and always has a smile on his face. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">St. Lucia, like Dominica, has a history of both French and English settlements and control, gaining its own independence in 1979, shortly after Dominica. It is a more mountainous and volcanic island than others in the Caribbean. It's population is around 175,000. Tourism, offshore banking, petroleum storage and bananas are it's main drivers of the economy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whenever I hear the island name of Dominica, my brain immediately goes off to sing Dominique, sung by the singing nun. Not to be confused with Sally Fields' flying nun portrayal of Sister Bertrille. She was more of a troublemaker than a singer, that one.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.57; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I haven't spent a lot of time in the Caribbean, but slowly, I'm adding islands to my list of "been tos". Dominica , located in the Leeward Islands chain in the Lesser Antilles Archipelago, southeastern part of the Caribbean, is a new one for my list. Dominica is between Guadeloupe and Martinique, and was devastated by the recent hurricane Maria.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.57; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In my mind, to visit an island for the first time, requires seeing the actual island. Every one has the typical little city or town at the pier/harbor, with its requisite bars, restaurants, jewelry shops and fruit and vegetable markets. Oh, and souvenir shops. I like those, because I can usually find a lapel pin showing the country flag or other recognizable feature of the country. But I like to get out of the town and see what the rest of the place has to offer. I did just that on Dominica.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.57; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dominica is also referred to as the Nature Island, and/or the Water Island. The island is volcanic in nature, and this combined with the clear waters, helps us to understand why Dominica has these other names. Champagne is a famous underwater hot springs where you can snorkel and swim through warm bubbles. Another great snorkeling spot is Douglas Bay. Inland, there are many rivers to enjoy. A few of the Pirates of the Carbbean movies were shot here. Hiking trails leading to beautiful waterfalls are also a draw for nature enthusiasts. The second largest boiling lake in the world is also found here - although it's a very strenuous hike and an all-day commitment. Less difficult (and family fun oriented) also abound around the island.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.57; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The indigenous people on Dominica were the Caribs. In 1493, that pesky Christopher Columbus happened by and named the island Dominica, which means Sunday, as it was apparently that day of the week when he spotted the island. In the 1600's France colonized the island; and changed hands with the British for a few hundred years, In 1978, Dominica gained her independence from Britain. In the capital city of Roseau, you can see a good mix of French and British influence, in the architecture (what is left of it after several major hurricanes over the last century) and in the language. Oh, and what side of the street they drive on............The island has a total population of about 100,000 and is about 300 square miles in area. I think they said it was 92 miles around. Dominica's flag is the only one in the world with a parrot on it and only one of two with the color purple. (the other one is Nicaragua)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bernd, Mieke and I. Our tour guide for the day was Woody Lawrence, aka Woody Dominica. He showed us quite a lot of his beautiful island home. Did we go snorkeling or swimming with the hordes of other tourists in Champagne Bay? Nope, but we did enjoy a quiet and peaceful time at this beautiful beach, and saw much of the island's inland beauty, including a sweet waterfall. We covered nearly 2/3 of the island's perimeter area.</span><br />

JD Andrews</i><br />
<br />
There is a large group of people in the cruising world that go on world voyages many years running. So when each new voyages comes along, it's a lot like going to summer camp, although for us, it's more like winter camp. Granted, a lot of cruisers live in very wintry places - so instead of heading south to Florida or Arizona, or other, more warm climates, they get on a ship for a few months. Snow bird meet shore bird!!<br />
<br />
I'm included in that group now, sort of, although my home in California is far from a wintry place. But this is my 4th year in a row where I've been on all or part of a grand voyage. So I've come to meet and becomes friends with a lot of people. And when we see each other on the ship, it's really a joy to be together again. Many of us play trivia, knit and crochet together, eat dinner at the same table each night, and sit side by side at lectures and evening entertainment. We also get together in small groups and do private tours in ports together. It's a real family away from family.<br />
<br />
Our first three days, after embarkation day, have been at sea. Trivia teams have been formed. The Project Linus knitting/crocheting project has been launched, and routines are being established. I'm usually up early and doing multiple laps around the walking deck, and then maybe going to the gym for a bit, before breakfast, but so far that hasn't quite worked out. I've been tired, and have been waking late. I hurt the heel of my foot last summer and it's been a bit sore to walk on for too long at a time. Instead, I've been working out at a CrossFit gym at home, which I really enjoy, and so the gym on the ship has become the main fitness focus for me. I also set a goal for myself this trip to do the dreaded burpee excercise on sea days. We have 73 sea days on this voyage, and so I'm doing a reverse countdown of burpees. Sea day 1 - 73 burpees. Sea day 2 - 72 burpees, and so on, until the last sea day of the voyage I will only have to do 1 burpee. If you don't know what they are - here's a picture. They're killers. But very good for you. (Aren't most things that are good for you, not so pleasant?)<br />

My little cabin on the walking deck. It's a little misleading - seems an okay size, but you have to do pretzel twists to get to the right side of the bed from the desk. There is, however, enough room in the little hallway to do my burpees.<br />

Me and Jack! Our expressions basically say it all, don't you think?<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, we arrive at our first port - Roseau, Dominica. It's supposed to be one of the prettiest islands in the Caribbean. It's small, only 92 miles around. It gained it's independence from Great Britain in 1978. It's located between Guadeloupe and Martinique. It's also the only country in the world that has a parrot on it's flag.<br />

<br />
<br />
It may be my second time around the world, but it is definitely a different itinerary and 17 more days than my first time, in 2017. Four years into retirement, and my traveling days are increasing. Last year, I was away from home nearly half the year. This year, so far on my schedule, I will be away fro 220 days.<br />
<br />
This second world cruise, on Holland America's Amsterdam, will last for 128 days. The itinerary starts and ends in Ft. Lauderdale, and we will visit 6 out of the 7 continents. Europe will be the only one we skip, although I shall be in Europe for 2 months later this year. Like in 2019, we will visit many ports around South America, and will be back in Antarctica. This will be my third time there - it's an amazing place to be, and see, and feel. No other place like it on earth. Then we will head across the Pacific to Easter Island, Pitcairn Island, Tahiti and then to New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and over to Africa. Another place that is like no other. I'm stoked to be going back to some of these amazing places, and excited to visit new ones.<br />
<br />
The hardest part of leaving home for any trip, is leaving behind my granddaughters. I've been living with them, as many of you know, for their whole lives, and as they grow, they become more aware of Nana being gone. Ori is oldest at nearly 8, and Yuval turns 5 in a few days. I have only been home for Yuval's first birthday, but I've promised her that next year, when she turns 6, that I will be there to celebrate with her in person. I've missed a few of Ori's too, but she's knowledgeable about FaceTime and WhatsApp, so our communication is more constant, and my physical absence, hopefully, is not so hard on her. She and I are thick as thieves, as they say. I will miss Yuval's infectious humor - she makes me laugh every day. Grandkids are awesome.<br />
<br />
Okay, on to this trip!!!<br />
<br />
I flew from home (Sacramento, California) on December 30, to Miami. My friend Jimmy (who sailed with me for a few weeks on my 2017 world cruise) and his husband, Aaron, met me at the airport and whisked me away to their new home - a gorgeous highrise apartment on Biscayne Bay. They had recently moved from San Diego, but had lived many years in New York City prior to that. We spent a lovely several days together, rang in the New Year and laughed an awful lot. Their dog, Lorenzo, an Italian Greyhound, fell in love with Snort (my little pig who is my traveling companion), and I had to rescue Snort several times. Thankfully, Lorenzo is not a chewer, but an cuddler. So Snort was safe from any immediate harm.<br />

Driving to the hotel, we passed the new Hard Rock Hotel. I don't think it's quite open yet, but it sure makes a statement!!</div>
<br />
<br />
All too soon, it was Friday and time to go to the hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, where my travel agency had set up their clients. Close to 200 of us enjoyed a nice cocktail party, followed by dinner. Orlando Ashford, HAL's current president, graced us with his presence and spoke for a few minutes, wishing us fair winds and following seas. Did you know he gets really seasick? Hahahahaha. I think that's so funny.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning arrived, the 4th of January, 2020, and soon we were on our way to the port, where we waited in line for over an hour to get checked in. Then it was on the ship, to our cabins, and waiting for luggage to arrive. I'd shipped 2 bags ahead of time, a perk of booking early, and brought with me another medium sized bag as well as a carryon and a backpack. Plenty to last me for 128 days.<br />
<br />
My cabin had been booked as a guarantee, an outside cabin, which is one with a window. Hoping for a late upsell offer, or a free upgrade at assignment time, I was out of luck, and was assigned a cabin in the worst possible place for my liking - on the outside promenade (walking) deck. Ugh. I have a thing about people walking by my window and being able to see in. Even though, in the daytime, that's not possible unless one puts their face against the window, it's still perceived by me to not be private. And at night - well, if your light is on, you'd better close your curtains or everyone walking outside can see in. I hate that so much. I don't like my drapes closed. I know, whine whine whine. Whatever. I was passively stalked earlier in my life, and since then, I've never trusted that my windows are safe from prying eyes. Not ever. Not even one day. That's why an outside window cabin is so nice for me - there's only the ocean water out there.<br />
<br />
I visited guest relations and asked about switching cabins. The ship is very full, and right now there's only inside cabins available. But there is hope for me in Buenos Aires, where the first segment ends. People will be disembarking, and yes, others getting on, but that's the time a switch can be made, I'm hopeful. We shall see. Stay tuned.<br />

<b>AFRICA</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I didn't let the grass grow much under my feet after returning home from South America. About a month, actually. At the end of April, my good friend and fellow hiker, Bobbie, and I traveled to South Africa for a 2 week safari adventure. Trip of a lifetime for Bobbie, especially. She's a little senior of my senior........<br />
<br />
We flew from Sacramento through Atlanta on Delta to Johannesburg, South Africa. Spent a day there (not long enough) and then flew on to Victoria Falls, where we spent 3 nights.<br />
<br />
We saw the Falls (really nice, but IMHO not nearly as spectacular as Iguazu Fall in Brazil/Argentina), took a lovely sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, and did a day water/land safari in Botswana in Chobe National Park. <br />
<br />
It was near the end of our time in Victoria Falls that Bobbie began feeling a bit tired and under the weather. Cough, sore throat, ear ache, overall malaise. We flew on to the Kruger area and got settled in at our lodge at Kambuku Sands. We spent 4 nights there. There was a total of 8 safari/game drives - 2 each day. Bobbie managed two of them, then she really started to go downhill. At one point we arranged for her to be taken to a doctor in the nearby town (45 minutes away by car).. He said she had a respiratory infection, gave her antibiotics and said to rest. They didn't help and by the end of our stay there, she was really sick. The staff at Kambuku were wonderful - while I was out on safari, they came to our suite and brought Bobbie food and tea and juices, and did the same again at night when I would be at the lodge with the other guests having dinner. I was really worried about her, but there was little I could do, and she would shoosh me out in the mornings and late afternoons to go on the game drives so she could sleep in relative peace and quiet. <br />
<br />
I knew I had to get her to our next and final destination of Cape Town, because there were better medical facilities there. But I also was afraid if the airlines saw she was really sick that they'd deny us boarding. And then we'd be up the proverbial creek without a paddle. So I arranged with our travel insurance company (YES, people, BUY THE INSURANCE!!!) to be met at the airport and then taken to a private hospital in Cape Town. I told Bobbie that she needed to muster all of whatever strength and fortitude that she had and try to act well enough, long enough, to get us on the plane and on to Cape Town. Well, she did it. And we got her to the hospital and then she spent the next 8 1/2 days in intensive care there, with severe pneumonia and a raging ear infection, secondary to the pneumonia. It was scary. But the hospital took excellent care of her - her doctors were terrific and she soon turned the corner and started feeling better. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, I would spend early mornings with her at the hospital, then go off for awhile and tour around the city, then come back late in the day and spend a couple more hours with her, then head back to the hotel. We stayed an extra 4 days because of her illness, so I was able to see a lot more of Cape Town than I had ever imagined. It's truly a wonderful city and the surrounding areas are also lovely.<br />
<br />
The travel insurance company (Generali Insurance, btw) was absolutely terrific and if not for them reaching out to me constantly and letting me know what to do, etc. I might have stressed myself out as well and would surely have had one or two meltdowns. They also arranged for a nurse escort for us on the flight home, which made both Bobbie and me feel more comfortable, knowing we had medical care available inflight. <br />
<br />
In spite of the medical troubles, both Bobbie and I enjoyed our trip immensely. She did get to see all of the "Big 5" before she became too ill, and other than missing Cape Town, she said she had no regrets at all. <br />
<br />
I've posted a lot of pictures.....get a cuppa and sit awhile. I hope you'll enjoy them.<br />

<b>Chobe National Park Day Trip</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the morning, we took a boat safari and saw a lot of elephants (Bobbie's favorite), birds and hippos. And a few Cape Buffalo. We had a nice buffet lunch at a restaurant then loaded into jeeps for a land safari in the afternoon, where we saw a lot of zebra and impalas. </div>

Hippo Hollow - a place we stayed for one night after we arrived at airport near Kruger. The Reserve gates had closed for the day by the time we got there, so we needed to wait until the next morning. We actually saw a hippo at the hollow!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our last full week of the cruise, we visited Barbados, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Curacao, and Aruba. All are lovely islands, but now, months after visiting them, they seem to blend together into one. The landscape of Curacao and Aruba, in particular, are very similar, and not anything like I expected. They are almost desert-like. Barbados has pretty beaches, as does Aruba. Curacao has a lot of character and color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I thought I'd combine them into one last post for this cruise. And this is my way of saying thanks for reading along with me, I had a fabulous time - the 80 days flew by and I made all sorts of new friends, learned new things (like how to knit!!) and had my eyes opened again with the amazing place our world is. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up (although I've already gone and come back) is a land trip to South Africa and a 3 week cruise to Alaska. And for late summer - a trip called The Voyage of the Vikings. </div>

This little island - Port Elizabeth, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, was the most delightful place. I don't think a single person on our ship had a negative thing to say about this place. Idyllic. Gorgeous harbor, beautiful beaches, friendly people.</div>

<br />
<br />
<b>Devil's Island</b><br />
<br />
A unique opportunity to visit a place most people don't get to, unless, perhaps, you're on a cruise, is Devil's Island. It's actually one of 3 islands in a small group called Salvation Islands, and it's not far off the eastern coast of French Guiana.<br />
<br />
Devil's Island is famous for its French penal colony. Named Cayenne, it opened in 1852 and closed in 1953. The small islands were first settled by the French in the late 1700's and settlers that came there didn't fare too well. Most died of hunger or fever. Later, the island was used as a leper colony. Then it was transformed into a prison for political prisoners.<br />
<br />
Over 60,000 men were housed during the years of operation, but only 2,000 survived. Conditions were very harsh, escape was nearly impossible due to sharks circulating and the inability to really find a way of transport. Prisoners were generally able to roam free, although shackled. If you misbehaved, you were either sent across to St. Joseph island for solitary confinement, or you were put into a hole in the ground with metal bars across the top. Fun times!!<br />
<br />
If you've ever seen the movie Papillon, starring Steve McQueen, then this is the place his character lived for 13 years, before escaping not once, but twice! Only one other person successfully escaped the island. After Papillon escaped the first time (on a boat), he lived with a native tribe, but after he left it, he was (gasp) recaptured and taken back to Devil's Island. The second time he managed to escape on a raft built of coconuts. This time he was more successful and eventually ended up in the United States, where he wrote a book about his experience.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the island itself is very small and very pretty. Lovely rocky coastline, great surf, lots of tropical plants and trees. And still the remains of the prison colony. A small handful of people live on the island, keeping it maintained, as it were. We anchored close by, and then tendered in. I was one of the first to step foot on the island, early in the morning, while it was still relatively cool. I spent several hours walking the road that circles the island, and then going up into the center where the old prison buildings are. Very interesting place.<br />
