Landing on Cape Horn - Nov. 14, 2019

There is more to this photo than meets the eye. The box is our laundry box which holds our clothes when they are returned to us. When Linda checked it was missing two items we had sent to the laundry, my plaid shirt and Linda's black sweater. She called reception and they said the room steward would be by to check on it. Marco is super and we really enjoy him. He even cleans the bathroom twice a day. Anyway, he soon stopped by and pointed to the closet rod where both items were hanging.. Linda sure got a good laugh from that. Today we go ashore on Cape Horn, which is actually an island. We travel ashore on zodiacs, 12 passengers at a time. Because of the restrictions on the number of people allowed ashore at any one time, we are assigned groups. Our group is 'light mantled snooty albatross'. The first ones left at 9 am, and it was after 4 pm when the ship finally left the Horn to head across the Drake Passage to Antarctica. Approaching the landing area. Becau
