Antarctica Cruise Day 11

After entering the Drake's Passage last night, we continued our smooth journey back north to Ushuaia.

The new year started on deck with small fireworks and a mimosa toast. Everyone counted down to the big moment and we rang in the new year while still in Antarctic waters. We stayed up well into the night singing, dancing, and drinking to ring in the new year on the ship. It was a pretty fun night, and even though things get a bit spotty towards the end, I think it'll go down as one of my favorite new year celebrations, and the first one with my new husband.

The rest of the day was spent recovering. Allan was far worse off than I was. I slight lack of hunger in the morning meant I didn't eat very much at lunch, but after a nap, I was good as new. Allan took longer to feel better, but did manage to eat his dinner which was promising.

It was definitely nice to have two really remarkable celebrations on the ship.Read more
