    Drake passage and first ice

    November 25, 2022, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌧 3 °C

    … the sea got more and more restless as we started our way through the Drake passage (supposedly one of the worst passages). We had very high waves and lots of people struggeling with seasickness… fortunately i was prepared and had already patches with me (which i definitely needed)
    I have never been on a ship like this before so this was definitely an adventure. Not being able to walk properly when the ship is tilted to an angle of 24 degrees. Funny at first but also exhausting trying to find the balance everytime, not able to sleep because your bed is constantly moving..
    Definitely this was the most challenging part of the trip! Luckily we had good weather and saw the first ice after 2 days! Getting closer to Antartica!
