UWC Day 051 – Cusco, Peru – Exploring the Incan Capital
The protest blocking Machu Picchu continues, so we instead went on a very flexible, changing itinerary through the Incan capital of Cusco. Morning Start To start, we were told that we were starting at 9am. I didn’t sleep super well, as I couldn’t get the temperature right in the room, and I’m bougie, and brought…

UWC Day 049 – Cruising Day
Another relaxing day at sea. Catching up on rest, pictures and overall just enjoying life.

Ended up downloading Two Towers from my old purchases and listened…

UWC Day 047 – Cruising Day – Wolf Moon Sighting
Nice relaxing day at sea. Caught up on some photos and posts (and sleep), and mostly recovering from some full days on tour.

UWC Day 046 – Coquimbo, Chile – Elqui Valley Tour
Tour to the Elqui Valley was a severe disappointment. The valley itself is beautiful and would have enjoyed it a lot more, but the tour company and description was super misleading and completely incorrect. The day ended up being a mixed bag and kind of a waste of time. All in all, the first bad…

UWC Day 045 – Valparaíso, Chile – Natural Monument Isla Cachagua to see Humboldt Penguins
Awesome day with Matias (we need to form a club) up the coast to some smaller beach towns and lovely views and hikes to be out in nature. 10/10 would recomment Matias for your guiding needs if ever in Valparaíso or Santiago. Logistics Tour was set to start at 7am, but it was also a…

UWC Day 043 – Cruising Day – Relaxing Day with Minis
Woke up to find that I had just naturally slept for 10 hours, and I felt AMAZING. Slowly got ready for the day, then went out to see what awaited me around the ship. Weather First I went up to check how the weather was, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Super calm waters, sun was out…

UWC Day 042 – Cruising Day
Took the day to get caught up on photos and the blog. Lovely day cruising the Chilean Fjords, and it was really quite nice out, but apparently windy so they closed the top deck for the time I was out there. Quiet Spots Went to the aft of the ship and found a quiet spot…
