And so we had nearly reached the end of our 3 week trip, and what a trip it had been.

Before we reached the dreaded Drake’s Passage, which is a notorious stretch of water that we had to cross, we had some gorgeous panoramic views of the snowy mountains, with low clouds covering the peaks. This view went on for some time, and many photos were taken, although lots were very similar!!
