Saturday January 28 2012 Falkland Islands Port Stanley Day 23 World Tour

What a night we hit fog about 2 am and the fog horn blew constantly and it was as though it was right in our cabin. We tiredly woke at 6:00 am to be ready to take the launch in at 7:30 only to find out because of the bad weather that we couldn’t go till almost 9:30 .2012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0052012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0062012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0082012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0122012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 096

Once we finally got to shore we decided to take a tour to the Gypsy Cove were the Magellanic penguins were. We were about two weeks early  and only a few had migrated there. The scenery was breath taking and the wind was fierce almost blowing us to the sea.2012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0152012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 010 2012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0412012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0402012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0442012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0542012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 0572012-01-28 023 World Cruise January 28 2012 Falkland Island 067IMG_2668IMG_2662
