Days 5 and 6 are "At Sea" as our beautiful ship cruises down the coastline which is filled with magnificent fiords. We woke up early to sweeping views of the Darwin Channel. Later we checked out a photography workshop complete with tips on enhancing our shots. There are many interesting lectures about Chilean culture, too. In the evenings, there is entertainment in the Star Theater. We heard a fabulous 'straight from Broadway' act with singing and fantastic acoustic guitar playing by Matt & Lainie. We also enjoyed a guest entertainer Dennis Daye who played many instruments - fabulous piano, trumpet, wooden flute, etc.
The highlight was the Almalia Glacier that skirts the northern rise of the Reclus volcano. This ice flow journeyed here millennia ago from the heights of the Andes and is one of the world's largest continuous ice fields, known as the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
then attended a Port Talk on our next destination, Punta Arenas. Tonight we tried Manfredi's a specialty Italian restaurant. Wow, the food was sumptuous!
