BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA Today is the second day in the Buenos Aires. We were both not feeling much like going into the City today after yesterday’s long day.

MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY This Morning we docked on the pier in Montevideo. No tender or transfer busses required. The pier is pretty well right in the old City.

FALKLAND ISLANDS Good Morning Folks. This morning we anchored in the harbour of Stanley at the Falkland Islands. I hate to say it, we were lucky again. Normally only 50% of the cruises manage to land here, due to the strong winds. As there is no dock to tie on to, we have to tenderContinue reading “February 9, 2020”
