Falkland Islands:
Carcass and West Point Islands
Thursday 15th November 2018
 
 
 
 
I love zodiacs. Being close to the water, combined with the wind and the speed, is exhilirating!
 
 
That's me on the right. Even I had to look twice before I could confirm that!
 
We were going to walk to the farmhouse in the distance for tea and cake, from where we would return to the ship from the local beach. Firstly, however, we were going to walk across an isthmus to another beach to see penguins and other wildlife.
 
Like Steeple Jason, this island look pristine and very beautiful, but unlike SJ, a few people do live here.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Looking back as we walked towards the farmhouse, we could see the place where we landed on the right and the beach we walked across to, on the left.
 
 
 
 
It was really good to stretch our legs, but we were looking forward to tea and cake!

Tea and cake with the expedition team and local caterers. It was well worth the hike!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After a lovely morning, it was time to return to the ship for lunch.
 
 
 
 
Unfortunately, a sore throat was bothering me, so I didn't do the afternoon trip,
but at least I have some photos to see what I missed!
