A Navini Out And About Day.

Fresh fruit. Before I forget to mention it, Linda absolutely loves the fresh fruit bowl we have with breakfast every morning.

Well, to be totally accurate, Linda loves everything they serve for breakfast. Clean Plate Linda.

Big resorts have line after line of activities. Navini is a lot more laid back, and that is what made it so appealing. The next to last line says what Life is all about.

Off to a big resort to see how the other half “works” at relaxing.

Just to show you how bored we were at the big resort we went to on the morning outing, Linda and I climbed the mountain that rose up behind it.

Still climbing. I can assure you it was long before the smile had vanished form Linda’s face, and the words, this is as far as I’m going were uttered.

One of the views I saw from the top.

What most of the views from the top were like. Smart Linda for not climbing to the top.

Snake plant in the wild. This was the real reason I climbed the mountain as there was a sign at the bottom detailing the various plants that could be seen along the trail. Of course I never saw any at all on the way up. Coming down I did discover this small patch of snake plant about 30 feet from the bottom. There are some things that just aren’t worth the effort. this was one of them.

Wouldn’t you know it, the view from where I saw the snake plant was better than the view from the top. Some things really, really, aren’t worth it. Tired Bob. Not Tired Linda.

Pretty picture. Another of those, I don’t know what it is, but it sure is pretty moments. The tree that is, the pretty woman is my wonderful wife, the one who was yelling, “Not there, over to your right. Are you sure all the tree is showing? Now take the photo.”

How everything gets to Navini.

All the ice cream here is made here. All the ice cream on the plate gets eaten. The cake also.

Footwear comes off before you enter any building. Linda quickly decided it was easier taking off flip flops than her shoes. and bought a pair. I guess you could say she flip flopped on the footwear question. Groaner Bob.

 

Linda snorkel update: Today she got brave enough to to go out into waist deep water. It took quite a while, but she eventually picked her feet up off the bottom and and began swimming on the surface. Watching underwater I could see that every once in a while she would get into panic mode, with her legs thrashing around madly as she tried to plant her feet on the bottom, though in time she became more and more confident and got out to shoulder deep water. I was the good husband and never strayed more a few feet from her. The best part was she actually saw several small fish. I now call her Linda, the soon to be snorkel queen. Proud Bob.

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

Image
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
