Camping in the mountains

22nd March, 2008

Hi di Ho,

It´s about time you hear something about me. I´m still having a wonderful time!!! Way to go! Last night we were camping in the mountain in tents, and it was quite an experience. Different from the camping I was used of in Europe. It was cold and there was no real toilet, so I decided to sleep with all the layers I had, in the sleeping bag. It worked fortunately, I didn´t suffer at all. No cold feet nor cold hands whatsoever. But the only thing was, I couldn´t fall asleep, and when I did it was superficially, and on top of that I needed to go to the made up lavatory. That was not fun! But I made it and it was a big relieve, thinking of an empty bladder, and keeping Antarctica clean.

Actually we´re being kept pretty busy, no time to get bored nor to meditate. Time is going fast, and before I know it´s over. Two more days are left for the South Shetlands and than 2 last days to go back through the Drake Passage.

After that we´ll spent 3 days in Buenos Aires and than back home. I can´t wait to tell you all I´ve experienced!! See you pretty soon!

  4. Hi Arthur, I hope you had a long enjoyable Easter Weekend, Penguino style! On the news this morning, the British have noted a large piece of ice ready to break off in Antarctica. Have you heard about it as well? Apparently it’s huuuuuge! I am hoping to receive a great shot of A3 in Antarctica before your return to Curacao. Would it be possible to send the pic to us by tomorrow? Tonight the Netherlands Antilles plays against Nicaragua and SDK is sold out! Keep us posted on life in Antarctica and greetings to Diane and JC! Cheers, Barbara
