There may be a slight hiccup to our early morning travel to Heathrow on Thursday via the Piccadilly line. If so we will take Heathrow Connect to the airport.

The last time we were here the moat was filled with 888,246 ceramic poppies representing the British and Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives in World War I.

We were back to the Mexican restaurant we ate at the other day because the matinee we were attending was just a couple of blocks away and also because the food was so awesome.

Dessert. Linda almost licked her plate clean. Great Food. Great Theater. Great time.

The play was The Mousetrap which has been running continuously for 64 years. After the performance Linda couldn’t, for the life of her, see why it had even lasted a month let alone decades. Wow, that sure made me feel better. Now I know why I have such a hard time pleasing her, just because I’ve been around for a long time doesn’t make me special.

Linda wanted to see Jersey Boys again.

Our first time ever not sitting in the stalls. Never again. We really enjoyed the show, but like Linda said, we want to the the sweat on the actors faces and the spittle spew from their mouths. The reason we were up here was because they had no seats available in the stalls. The Easter holiday was the reason. Linda clapping her hands to the music while a million watt smile lite up her face said all was good no matter where we were sitting.

Punta Arenas to Santiago - Nov. 29, 2019

Image
With our luggage taken away last night we didn't have much to pack this morning, just a few items to go into our day packs. The view from outside on our balcony showed we were docked at the pier in Punta Arenas beside another Antarctic expedition ship, The Megellan Explorer. Baggage being loaded for transport to the airport where it will be checked for us, meaning we will just have to pick it up at baggage claim when we arrived at the airport in Santiago. Breakfast was served early, though it didn't matter for us as we were in the last group to depart the ship which would be at 10 o'clock. Linda knew how to pass the time as she waited from 8 o'clock when we had to vacate our room until we left the ship two hours later. I took advantage of the time to write another blog post, having uploaded the photos during the night. Posting the photos at night had worked great, except for when we were in extremely rough seas when they simply didn't go up, like

Last day at Sea - Nov. 27, 2019

Our trip is in its last stages. Today we will continue traveling from the Falklands to the Straits of Magellan. While there was some rocking during the night my traveling companion continues to wake up with a smile on her face after a restful night's sleep. Happy Linda makes for happy Bob. While I am no wildlife photographer our balcony makes it easy to photograph any creatures that may happen by weather in the sea or the air. The wrist strap on my camera comes in handy as I can operate the camera with one hand and have the binoculars in the other. Meanwhile, inside, Linda is slowly working at packing. And yes, it all fits with room to spare. As usual we way over packed in some areas, especially as far as cold-weather gear was concerned. We know that layers is the secret, the problem is that we go for far more layers than we need when we pack. Plus we brought our snow/rain boots which we didn't need as the ship supplied for the trip. As we traveled along we

Nesting Albatross and Rockhopper Penguins - Nov 26, 2019

In the launch room ready to board a zodiac for the trip ashore. The laughs are because I once again volunteered when they needed one person to fill the zodiac. Linda told everyone what happened the last time I did this, so everyone was reminding me to stay at the landing area until her zodiac arrived. After the 'polite' way Linda informed me she was less than pleased with me the last time I did this I assured everyone I would be right there when they landed. Standing on the loading platform before getting into the zodiac. Did she take this in case I went down with the ship, so to speak? Bad Bob. Proving I was as good as my word. A photo of Linda being helped out of the zodiac. Good Bob. The island we were on, and it location was in its name. As has been the case, there was a good deal of uphill hiking. One of the reasons we travel. Once up on top of the hill, the fog was definitely in. I took this photo about 20 feet from the caracara. Mile
