Falkland Islands (found penguins)

After a sea day on the 20th we arrived at Stanley on the Falkland Islands. We had a private tour booked with Rob, a local who took us to various places. We started at Gypsy Cove and Yorke Bay. Unfortunately, avian flu has decimated penguin populations. Then we went to Cape Pembroke where we saw a sea lion resting in the grass. Huge creature! After that Rob took us to another beach where we saw some more penguins.

After a bit more touring we explored Stanley and I had a pint of warm beer in an English pub. It really is a British outpost but quite charming. We now sail for 2 days to reach Montevideo in Uruguay.Read more
