The most awesome thing ever... we have arrived in Ushuaia and spent the morning going from travel agent to travel agent trying to get a last minute place to Antarctica. We found a fantastic lady who operates a small agency out of her house, and she has booked us on a 11 day Antarctica cruise with GAP adventures, widely regarded as one of the best operators and the people we are doing our trip to the Galapagos with. We have a twin room with private bathroom and porthole in the middle of the ship (the best for the rough crossing), and it is almost half the cost of booking from the UK, which we were told was sold out.
The boat takes 68 people which is great news for more frequent landings on the continent, and is an expedition boat that also carries naturalists, scientists who give regular lectures. In short.... WOOOHOOO!!!!
We are SOOOOO excited albeit nervous about crossing the Drake passage which takes about 2 days. We leave on the 27th Feb so plenty of time to relax and trek around the national parks here at the tip of the Andes, which are beautiful.
