This morning, as we steam towards Puerto Madryn, Argentina, peeping through my curtains, I gaze upon a cloudless horizon with the sun due to rise, right now at 06.44. Land has just come into sight and the shore opposite appears close. A fine day is forecast, in contrast to the “Blackpool summer’s day” of grey skies, tempestuous seas and a fairly spectacular thunderstorm! Temperatures were parsimonious also. That, in turn, was in contrast to the previous day at sea when I basked for too long on Deck 10 with now “established travel companion” Jo !
While in Buenos Aires, on St. Valentine’s Day, in the evening, we joined a party of around 60 people for a splendid night out. Around 30 vintage cars had been hired by Cunard for an evening of fine dining, superb floor show and seductive Tango, all at a very high-end venue. Another splendid night I shall remember for years to come.
This morning, we are edging our way into the port of Puerto Madryn. I am due to check in for an 8 hour shore excursion which I shall write about later in the day.
Please forgive the lack of illustrations. I am still encountering difficulty including them in my blog. Nevertheless, I shall continue to take photographs in the hopes that my writings can be amended at a later stage. Thanks for reading, David: 07.03 hrs 18th February 2020.
P.S. My recent blogs do contain captions for pictures which failed to materialise! David
