3rd November 2018 – day of departure towards Antarctica

This afternoon I will board the ship, Le Lyrial and sail away at 7pm. You can read about the ship here.

You can read about the particular cruise I am on – titled The Great Adventure – here and here.  The specific details of each day is here.

I expect to be without internet communication for the next 15 days. When I arrive back in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the end of the afternoon on the 18^th November I may send an email or two. However, the big Antarctic blog will be uploaded on the 19^th if all goes to plan – and because of the 14-hour time difference to Australia – that I am 14 hours behind you (sorry Pauline and Amanda- not sure of the time difference to you) I can only imagine you will see the story of the Antarctic experience on the 20^th November.  So, I suggest you plan to have a nice glass or two of wine or a cuppa handy, a comfortable chair and prepare to settle in for a long read – and hopefully some brilliant photos.
