    Great to know, @barbult

    The story of floating piece of ice seems interesting - looking forward to it.

    The story is about how I fell backwards on land and conked my head on the rocks. I seem to be OK, though

    Also my husband spotted a little floating piece of ice that looked like a frozen Richard Haseltine.

    No one told me I needed to upgrade my coat!

    I hope the pictures of frozen you turn out well.

    We have taken many hundreds (thousands) of pictures. We will need to sort through to find the good ones. We are now leaving to return to Argentina and then Miami, via Colombia, and finally home. Drake Passage is still ahead of us. It will be a couple more days before we see land again in Ushuia, Argentina.

    Keep an eye on it (not too literally as that would definitely not be OK)

    Take Care. Sounds as if it's a trip to remember.

    Regards,

    Richard

    I were never been there, so I have used my imagination on the net laugh

    We are now in the Drake Passage. We are lucky; waves are only about 3-4 meters, they estimate. The ship rocks from side to side, making it challenging to walk and use the stairs. Elevators are closed for safety. Artini, that is quite an image from your imagination. Thanks for it. My husband took pictures of me while I was on the ground, he said. I haven't seen them yet. I was instantly attended to by expedition personnel, so he was free to document the "event". It is forbidden to touch the ground, or sit or kneel on the ground, or place anything on the ground. He (husband) said I violated the rule the hard way, and was probably the only passenger on the trip to actually touch Antarctica! Maybe so, but that is not what I was thinking about while on my back on the ground.

    barbult how can you go there without touching the ground?

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 10,771

    Thanks, @barbult

    Great, that everything is ok with you and your husband.

    We wear special rubber boots and we walk through a boot sanitizer machine both coming and going each time we go out. We travel to shore in zodiac boats.

    Thank you all. We disembark tomorrow.

    I like your image, Artini. Is that AI? Due to multiple flight delays, missed connections, and reschedules, we've been stuck in Bogota for about 24 hours. We hope to get a flight to Miami this morning. Cross your fingers for us.

    Wishing you safe trip home.

    We are in the air, bound for Miami. Your crossed fingers must have helped!

    being mired in Bogota at least fits the name, looking from an Anglophone perspective.

    Glad to know, @barbult

    Hope to see your story continue, after you take a rest at home.

    I'll have to look that up, unless you are just referring to bog. We are in Miami now!!!

    or even bog o' tar, though that "refinement" didn't occur to me until after I posted.

    Glad you are back OK. 

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 10,771

    Great, that you are back, @barbult

     

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 27,106
    Thanks,guys. We went to Zoo Miami for a couple hours and are staying overnight. We'll drive home tomorrow (about 200 miles north of Miami), but we have to go via Longwood near Orlando for an errand, so that will add some time and miles. I'm longing to get home.
  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 10,771

    Great to know. Drive safely.

     

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 27,106

    We are home! We got home about 8:00 last night, exhausted, and went to bed. It is good to be home!

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 27,106

    By the way, I love the bog o' tar description heart. That was so clever and so apt.

    Hope you had a lovely time.. It'd be nice if you could share a few photos when you're ready and decently un-shattered.

    Regards,

    Richard
