We awoke this morning to see land. It was such a welcome sight, because it meant that the Drake Passage was behind us. We had sailed to the western side of South America and then spent the day sailing around Cape Horn to arrive at Ushuaia at 7 pm. I spent some time out on the bow watching the landscape go by. There were several birds around us and even some dolphins.

We had dinner at one of the fancy restaurants and then packed our bags.

We had to put our checked luggage outside our stateroom door by 10 pm. Porters came around in the night to collect the luggage. Then they transported it to the airport and loaded it on the plane. We’ll next see our baggage when we land in Buenos Aires. In the meantime, enjoy these photos of Cape Horn.
