Today we stopped at Puerto Chacabuco. . The way in was via the fjords and this was a wonderfully scenic approach with snow-capped mountains and narrow channels. The town itself was rather small and disappointing being the major salmon farming and freezing town of a few hundred inhabitants in the area. We walked around the town and to a rather fine hotel on a rise above the town. We were followed for a long way by a rather down-at-heel dog who needed a very good wash and brush but was very cute and had those appealing eyes which said, when we arrived back at the tender to take us back to the ship "You can't leave me here", but, of course we had to and we did but he was obviously very disappointed.
We were invited to a cocktail party in one of the owners' suites with Harvey and Barbara from California. They are a wonderful couple who are very engaging company. Harvey is a constant wise-cracker who keeps everyone in stitches and his wife of 55 (count 'em fifty five!!!!) years, Barbara, is an equal match. Their suite was gorgeous and we had a great time there. Then it was off to the Grand Dining Room for dinner which was also excellent.
I have a 7.15 a.m. take off to go glacier visiting tomorrow, so it is to bed early tonight.
I can tell.
