• Sea Day off the coast of Chile

    March 4, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

    A sea day as we move up the coast of South America. Today was an off and sunny day with rain. Better today than when we have excursions.
    We did see some Sea Lions playing in the water around the ship and were able to get some pics. Still looking for the Orca whales... In the afternoon we attended a Mate lecture and sampling. It's the way the people from Patagonia make their tea and share it with others. It is a very social thing for them and a part of their daily routine - make Mate / tea and enjoy it most of the day. In one of the shops we did purchase a Mate cup, straw and some Yerba Mate tea.
    Also we met with the travel consultant and booked another cruise for next year. It's the Capitols of Eastern Europe river cruise on the longboats which are much smaller, but dock in each city and you walk to the city for excursions.
