We awoke this morning to see land. It was such a welcome site, because it meant that the Drake Passage was behind us. We had sailed to the western side of South America and spent the day sailing around it 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. Porter came around in the night to collect the luggage. Then they transport it to the airport and load 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.
