UWC Day 037 – Cruising Day – Port Stanley Cancelled, An Extra Day at Sea
Got another nice cruising day that was semi expected. Sad to not be able to see the penguins, but wallet is a little happier. Lots of time to start getting caught up on pictures. Morning Announcement Was getting ready to mentally wake up to my alarm, when the announcement tone went off in the speakers…

UWC Day 036 – Cruising Day – Back through the Drake Passage
Back through the Drake Passage! Unfortunately, not much happened today, because I was fighting a migraine. Waking Up I think I slept on my pillow the wrong way, or maybe my body was just overwhelmed by all the awesomeness of Antarctica and was just like….SLEEP. MORE SLEEP. Slept in, and woke up around 11, but…

UWC Day 035 – Elephant Island, Antarctica – Enjoying the Big and Small
Windy and cold day, but really fun enjoying scenic views of Antarctica as we cruised along, then searching and finding the small creatures amidst the gigantic views everywhere. Lots of people were taking one look and then going inside assuming there was nothing to see, but you needed to have discipline, vision and patience to…

UWC Day 034 – Gerlache Strait and Paradise Bay, Antarctica – Mind. Blown.
Words (and photos and videos) simply can’t encapsulate the experience. I’ll do my best though. Simply amazing views, life changing might be underselling it a bit. So much wildlife and incredible panoramic views in all 360 degrees around high and low, and SUPER calm waters as we just cruised along. Super peaceful and good for…

UWC Day 033 – Cruising Day – Drake Passage
Cruising through the Drake Passage! Supposedly it was really rough in the morning, but I slept right through it. When I woke up around 1pm, it was just a light swaying which I personally quite enjoyed. Went to the back of the windjammer and enjoyed the fresh air and the breeze as we cruised along…

UWC Day 032 – Cruising Day
Cruising day as we go toward the Drake Passage to get to Antarctica. Attended some presentations and caught up on some rest. Top Tier Event I usually don’t go, cause I’m not awake, but I happened to be awake so went to the top tier event. Mostly nothing to write home about, but they did…

UWC Day 031 – Puerto Madryn, Argentina – Península Valdés
The tour from day 29 was originally supposed to be to the south of the peninsula, and I was going to see the north originally back with Royal Caribbean, but since the south side of the peninsula is closed at the moment, I had already seen the peninsula. I thought about trying to cancel the…

UWC Day 030 – Puerto Madryn, Argentina – Punta Tombo Penguin Rookery and Town of Gaiman for Welsh Tea
Amazing day out amongst the penguins. BABY penguins. Then followed up with a lovely bonus trip through Gaiman for some welsh tea and laidback relaxing. Logistics This was definitely one of my most looked forward to tours when I had booked them. Seeing penguins in their natural habitat and hatching a couple weeks ago, we…

UWC Day 029 – Puerto Madryn, Argentina – Península Valdés Wildlife
From the research that I did a couple months ago, from what I could tell, there were like 3 different directions you could go in Puerto Madryn to see different wildlife. Península Valdés is kind of like a Yellowstone or Glacier NP, in that it’s ginormous, and it takes awhile to see the whole thing.…

UWC Day 028 – Buenos Aires, Argentina – City Photography Tour and Flight to Puerto Madryn
Flight to Puerto Madryn to catch a few extra tours was at 5pm, so instead of being rushed all day I cancelled my tour down the river a couple days ago, and opted for an AirBnB experience instead. I considered a couple different photography tours and settled on one in the morning with Carolina (AirBnB…
