Finally, after 3 days/4 nights on a ship bopping up and down on the waves, we are now back on solid ground and tonight we can sleep in a double bed again, instead of two tiny beds in a very small cabin which we shared with two more people ... they put an Dutch/Swiss couple together with an Austrian/German ... and it worked out very good .. it was actually very nice!
Basically the weather on this trip was bad and worse: rainy, cold with a lot of clouds and only sometimes one could imagine with a lot of phantasy that the nature around us would have been really wonderful with sunshine. bad luck!
One of the nights the sea was very turbulant and rough when traversing the "Golfo de Penas" (Golf of Pain) - and the name was not exaggerating - we thought we would be rolled out of our beds. Renate was fighting agains the sea-sickness by "meditating" :-) and Mirko achieved the same result after 2h of REAL PAIN by getting rid of all available alimentation in his body on our toilet ;-) ...
With us on board were hundreds of sheep, horses and cows .. I dont know how these poor creatures survived withouth being able to throw up :-)
... inspite of the bad weather and the fact that we were reminded 3 times each meal to return the tray to "the door behind the self-service" :-) it was an experience worth taking ...
At the moment we are on the island Chiloe which kind of resembles Irland ....
We send the best regards to all of you!
