Beautiful sunny day again. Now we are wearing sweaters instead of parkas. Many Gentoo penguins, Skuas and their babes. Avalanches across the bay. Beautiful lookout view. Fun slide down the snow. We paddled around Cueverville. We saw dolphins.
This was our actual landing on the Antarctic continent. I sat on the pebble beach and enjoyed the antics of the Gentoo penguins vying for the perfect pebble.
On the way to our camp site we saw Crabeater seals lounging on icebergs. Had a frigid bar-b-que on the aft deck.
Tonight we camped on Hovgaard Island. What a beautiful site. Yes it does get cold sleeping on the snow, but I felt it was worth it. The girls hiked with Phil as he told tales of his mountaineering excursions throughout Antarctica. I made friends with an elephant seal. Got to watch the sun go, not down, but across the sky. We are very near the solstice. We saw our first Adelie penguins as well as more Gentoo.

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
