Last night we finished cruising around the southern tip of South America and were on a northern route toward Amelia Glacier. The trip lead us through fjords and mountains with fantastic views from time to time of the snow capped Andes Mountains. After Larry played some music with his musician cruising friends, we headed to the Skywalker Lounge on the 18th floor of the ship to sit and view the gorgeous vistas that we passed. We ate lunch there, and didn't move for the rest of the afternoon....not wanting to give up our fantastic seats that looked off the starboard side of the ship. We were able to view where the ship was going and look back at where it had been while sitting on an arm that hung out over the side of the ship. IT WAS AWESOME!
We spotted some cute little penguins swimming in the water....making their way to land. We also saw a lot of birds. The captain pointed out some dolphins. We also spotted hundreds of little icebergs that the captain and the Chilean pilot slowly guided the ship through.
We saw the huge blue ice of the Amelia Glacer that expanded up to the top of the cravas all the way down to the water. Larry wandered about the ship taking a bunch of pictures of it...but I stayed inside holding our warm comfortable seats.
That evening we had dinner in our room and watched "World War Z" with Brad Pitt. Nice way to end the day!
