Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 21, 2019 Author #277 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Our next stop was Bridges Island . There are no bridges on the island but , rather it is named for a missionary named Thomas Bridges . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bridges_(Anglican_missionary) Our sister boat arrived first and set out for a trek across the island They were on the high point of the island being circled by an aggressive bird We paused part of the way up the hill for a lesson on the flora and fauna of the island The Cushion plant is found in Alpine regions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cushion_plant Our guide showed us this wild flower and berries While hiking a little further we found this mother bird and her two chicks And from the summit you can see the other group returning to the boats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 21, 2019 Author #280 Share Posted February 21, 2019 We had reached the summit and the view was breathtaking !! You can see the clarity of the water on the West side of the island And a view of the city in the distance Or of an airplane taking off And finally - a video of the island and the bird , now circling us A video of the Zaandam in Ushuaia : 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 22, 2019 Author #291 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Well that was Ushuaia in 2013 but on Christmas Day in 2018 , we were sailing away from Ushuaia toward Puerto Williams . The sky was beginning to clear but it was still quite breezy The scenery and light was nice as we sailed in Puerto Williams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Williams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 23, 2019 Author #297 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Many of the shops on the street that we walked by , and went into , had a distinctly European feel. Except for all of the Coke signs that we saweverywhere ! And a solo Pepsi sign at the Beatles BAR We wandered into the Estancia del Puerto at 11:30 am , and the place was empty And found what we really wanted - Asado on the Parrilla !! The grilling process is better appreciated in this video clip : We found a table and ordered drinks , steak and chorizo . We were enjoying our drinks and our friend's company when we noticed that the place was filling up - Fast . Soon , our lunch arrived and the smell was incredible !! After tasting we realized that we had found meat heaven . It was more than just a lunch. It is the Quintessential dining experience of South America. As you can see in this video - We were not alone ! Before we knew it , it was time to reboard the Zaandam. And set sail for Buenos Aires . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
