Sheering sheep in one piece in less than 3 minutes• Cape Horn – END OF THE WORLD!!! – What a miserable experience. We climbed the 160 steps in heavy rain, strong winds and cold temps. The weather has not changed a bit during the visit to the memorial statue and the lighthouse. Natan had difficulties to see the Bird in the memorial statue, and got upset when Maggie tried to explain to him where to look. He finally saw it. With all the enduring discomfort we can now checkmark it on our “been there” list.
• The afternoon excursion was a 2 km hike at Wulaia bay to a top of a hill from which we had wonderful vistas of the bay & islands. The not very interesting museum at the bottom of the hill reflects the history of the encounter of Darwin with the local aborigines as well as other local history and legends. It felt good for a change to hike without having to fight the wind and rain, and even enjoy some sunshine.
• The Grand Finale Dinner was very good for a change. Natan had some issues with the prior dinner’s main courses quality & quantity.
• The after dinner farewell party was fun. Natan felt tipsy and wanted to bid on the navigation map which was auctioned at the party. Maggie stopped his nonsense after his first bid. It finally sold for about $300.
We received an immediate response from Kassandra who reserved our cruise as soon as she got a confirmation from us. Maria and Jess also were in touch right away.

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
