As anticipated, the coastal Patagonia region is impressively rugged and vast with untouched beauty. Aside from one lecture in the morning, I was perched in front of a ship’s window most of the day. Tuesday and Wednesday are scenic cruising days as we travel north through the Chilean Fjords to Castro.
This is the land of glaciers, waterfalls, rainbows and volcanoes. It is unspoiled wilderness and splendor. It is peace and quiet. It is a wonder of the world.
Earth and Ocean, an outdoor dining option and second best restaurant on board, was our choice for dinner Tuesday. We bundled up in our expedition gear and blankets and watched gale force winds blow the sea and rain all around us in an attempt to scare us away. We hung in there, with a few other tables of adventurous diners, for the best dinner of the cruise. Piping hot lamb shanks and truffled polenta was comfort food at its finest.
