In Route to Antarctica

January 19


We spent most of  today walking up and down the Main Street of Ushuaia. After we checked out of the hotel we missed the shuttle into town so a taxi was called for us but we still waited over 30 minutes for a ride. That gave the rain time to move away so we had a nice day to explore the town.
We boarded the Hebridean Sky cruise ship at 4 pm and by 6:30 we had been instructed in ship board safety and done a lifeboat drill, met most of the crew and the captain and had been served champagne. Following dinner we were fitted for boots and and our expedition jackets. As the sun was setting we walked around the outside deck and enjoyed the beautiful clouds and sea. By 10pm we finally unpacked our suitcases and were ready for bed.  

Because we were uncertain if we would get seasick, we decided to apply the anti-seasick patches before supper so they had a chance to get into our system.
