Paul got his boarding pass for Amsterdam to Madrid at the check-in desk, but not onwards to Chile. I got mine strangely enough. So it was the start of our first stress, not knowing things.

Our flight from Amsterdam was almost an hour late because the airline was trying to load all the luggage, so that added more stress.

We had to catch a metro shuttle to Terminal 4S and then go through passport control. It was a passport recognition system for EU citizens, and we thought it would be OK with my French residency card. Nope, it didn't work. Ground staff spoke no English but saw my distress and helped me get to see a passport control officer.

We raced to the gate with a bit of time to spare. Paul got his boarding pass printed by one of the ground stewardesses. I mentioned to them about my seat being different to that which I chose and booked. Paul's was ok. She didn't know what happened but couldn't give me another seat because the flight is fully booked. We might try to claim a refund...

Off to Santiago now.Lue lisää

Nice enough flight, but we didn't get too much sleep. Something disagreed with our stomachs, and we spent quite a bit of time in "toilet class", but Paul was a lot worse. The lady on the isle seat was a Saint with getting up so I could access the loo. She spoke Spanish only, so I tried my best to explain by swishing my hands around my belly and down.

Paul had to go separately through immigration as he had a ship representative to take him through as a seaman. He was done quickly, but it took longer for me.

Fortunately, all our luggage arrived at the carousel, so we picked it up and took it to luggage drop-off for the next flight.

We are now waiting for our domestic flight to Puerto Montt.Lue lisää

Arrived at the local airport after an uneventful flight. The scenery we flew over was beautiful - snowcapped mountains, lakes, and rivers.

We are being picked up by a taxi to take us to the port.

The taxi driver was waiting for us and drove us to the port. We weren't expected, according to port security gate officials. They took our passports and Paul's assignment letter, and a phone call soon sorted things out.

The ship wasn't in port, so we had a zodiac ride with our luggage to the anchored ship.Lue lisää

It was nice to be on the ship and get rid our rucksacks. We had been carrying extra clothes each in case our luggage got lost. We had heard of nightmare stories at Puerto Montt’s airport where luggage didn’t turn up.

We were so glad to have a much needed shower.

We are in a crew cabin on level 3. The cabin is basic and comfortable. We are not complaining though. I believe that we might be moved to a guest cabin in a few days' time, depending on capacity. At the moment, the ship is fully booked for this current cruise.

I think we will have an early night tonight!Lue lisää

We had hoped to sleep late but woke up around 6am. We had almost slept around the clock so we can’t complain.

We went to check out the Bridge and later met the Captain.

I tried to have a nap and Paul went to a quiet area of the ship to work on a IAATO (International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators) course.

We went to the 6pm briefing for tomorrow: what is planned and what to expect. After that a few expedition staff gave short talks which were interesting. Remember, an expedition cruise is all about learning. One talk was a brief history of Puerto Montt. He was a very good and accomplished speaker.

Afterwards we went to The Club for sushi. Someone played the piano and guitar as we relaxed. It was a nice atmosphere.Lue lisää

Guests took a zodiac ride to the village and were able to watch a cultural show or spend time visiting the area.

Paul and I decided to go for a walk along the wooden promenade along the shore. It was pretty. We met a friendly dog or two along the way. We took a different route back but it barely existed in places! There were lots of missing planks and it took a while to get back to the town.

We walked in the opposite direction, along the pier, towards the main town but got waylaid by a ginger cat sunbathing on the steps of someone's house. It was the highlight of our morning, and by the time we had finished taking photographs, it was time to head back to the ship.Lue lisää

There was supposed to have been river zodiac cruises in the afternoon
but they were cancelled this afternoon because of strong winds. A guided hike, birdwatching or beachcombing was offered around Calet Tortel instead, but Paul had a course to attend, and I was still jet-lagged and ended up having a nap.

Later on we went to the Bridge and then it was time for the recap and discussion of tomorrow's event, as well as a few short talks.Lue lisää
