Day 1 Punta Arenas & MS Fram 😀

Early morning alarm ⏰ at 4 am. Take away breakfast and then the logistics of getting 157 people and their luggage to the airport, checked in and onboard the 4 hour flight to Punta Arena. Lovely views of the Andes. Then a visit to an estancia (ranch) called Sombras de Fuego Treated to a gaucho (cowboy) horsemanship display, seeing the lamb being cooked over an open fire and a lovely meal of lamb and a very nice red wine.
On to Punta Arenas and got checked in to MS Fram 😀 A lovely ship. My cabin is on deck 3, number 327, has a round porthole ( on the red line) and is near the gangway. So it's supposed to be the most stable part of the ship, low and central - we will see 🤢
I like my cabin very much. Very Nordic and the remainder of the ship is very much like the MS Maude that I was on in the Arctic.
We set sail at 7.30pm, sailing through the Strait of Magellan. The weather is lovely, blue skies, sunshine and calm seas. Time for an early night 💤Weiterlesen
