Another great day, sunny and clear when it needed to be. AM shower gave way to a beautiful afternoon. Drove with Canal tour guide Augustino to southend. Like his fellow guide at Canal Augustino was very knowledable. He drove us to a zodiac dock. The ride across the Channel was windy and cold but even Cathy didn't care because we were going to the penguin rookery! (In the interest of full disclosure we should mention that Cathy is a little nutty about the little guys in tuxes. She will only drink a martini shaken in her penguin martini shaker). We both had a ball but Cathy was the proverbial kid in a candy store. We walked the secure area next to a nesting area. We were an arms length away from hundreds of penguins and their chicks. What an experience! We returned to boat (Cathy had to be cajoled off the island) to our next destination, Gable. The weather has been getting warmer all day long. Augustino led us on a great hike across the island. We took our break at a perfect location to enjoy the view of Beagle Channel. Our hike continued to an old shepherd's hut for lunch. More great eats and great local wines. Returned to the zodiac and across water, stopping to view and enjoy wildlife along the way. Rain on the road on the ride back to town.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
