a 36 hr voyage through unimaginal beauty! I am sitting here in a little internet cafe literally at the end of the World, the town of Puerto Williams. We had a very memorable ferry trip all throught the Magellanes and Beagle Chanels, seeing more glaciers and fjords then we ever dreamed of. The sheer beauty of which took our breath away (the cold wind too). We were lucky to get our cabin with the bunkbeds, otherwise there was no comfort, just lots of freight and only about 20 passengers. We had to fight for our cabin, as they gave it to someone else, because we did not come by the day before to pay in cash, not knowing that they were not going to use our credit card that held the reservation. So, we were super glad we got on, it was the best part of our trip so far.
The boat often was accompanied by lots of seals, sealions and orcas.
Regarding the pix, they won´t let me download stuff on their computers here, because of virus scare, so you have to wait till we get home.
Off to explore Isla Navareno. !! (Also need to find out how we get across the Beagle Chanel to get to Ushuaia tomorrow, to catch our flight the El Calafate , Argentina. More from there next time. Adios. (no time to hit the spell check!)

And we thought we were being adventurous!! We're in St. Augustine still waiting for shaft repairs but not really complaining since there is plenty to do here and it's still cold & snowy in CT. So glad we met and get to follow your latest journey. You know how to enjoy so keep it up :) Hakuna Matata!!
Even without pictures, you are painting a fascinating picture in words of your journey, Ursula. What a wonderful trip; your horizons are literally being expanded having experiences most of us will only know vicariously; can't wait to see the pix when you return. It is fun to follow along on your travels. We leave Friday for Costa Rica; Meradith is having a wonderful trip to Guatemala so there will be much to share. Thinking of you both, Jackie and Gil
