…that is always the question whenever we
start our crossing! This time everything and everybody was prepared for the
full storm – however, in the morning, we were surprised by a fairly smooth
sea!! So at least the first half of the feared passage could be done in a
rather pleasant way and certainly nobody will complain about this change of
weather – on the contrary, we are all delighted!
We had time to once more re-live our
experiences in Antarctica and/or to enhance our knowledge about this
fascinating place. Either by just sitting and dreaming in the comfortable
chairs of the Observation Lounge, by sorting out photos on the laptop, by
reading books on the subject or by simply attending one of the interesting
lectures. And of course, at the end of
the day, Karsten, our photographer showed a selection of his best pictures.

In fact it is a
good thing to have a few days of relax and digest before returning to our
routine lives back at home. The contrast would be too immense if we had to go
straight – so after all, at least the Drake LAKE is very welcome!
