Holidays under a clear blue sky

The day started with an extraordinary sunrise around 6.45h. For a short while the color of the sky changed from orange to red and violet. The dawn is a very short occurrence in this region. You have the feeling that someone switches the light on in the morning and switches it off in the evening. So you must be there at the right time with your camera to get the picture.

Later in the morning after breakfast we had our first lecture on this cruise. Friederike spoke about seabirds and invited us to a trip around the world. Hopefully we will see some seabirds during the crossing with our own eyes.

As the weather was so nice again we spent a lot of time outside on the open decks.

But nobody wanted to miss the “teatime with the expedition team” in the lounge at 16.00h. It was nice to sit together for interesting talks and of course to enjoy the nice cakes and cookies.

In the evening we had a BBQ again. Nobody was thinking at this time about the cool and wet weather at home. We had a summer feeling and enjoyed really every minute.
