Antarctica » Antarctica » South Shetland Islands December 19th 2012

Wednesday December 19, 2012 Mikkelsen Harbour and Cierva Cove We make it through the Drake Passage and are now in the South Shetland Islands. Francine is now vertical. The excitement to finally get onto land is overwhelming. We all hurry down to the zodiac boarding area to take the short ride to the island. We are going to see the penguins up close and personal. We were warned about the smell so we are somewhat prepared. The worst part was falling down through the softening snow and land in the penguin pooh! The Gentoo penguins were so much fun to watch. The best and most favored nesting sites are the ones at the top of the mountains/rock hills. It is so amazing that they climb all that way and back down again to get food and ... read more

tijdens mijn reis in Las Vegas wilde ik heel graag iets spannends doen alleen wist ik niet wat . na lang denken en informatie kwam ik erachter wat ik wilde! ik wou een helikoptervlucht maken boven de Grand Canyon een geweldig hotel waar ik zelf ook verbleef. eigenlijk durfde ik de vlucht helemaal niet te maken , maar toen dacht ik misschien zal ik hier wel nooit meer zijn. dus ik besloot om de vlucht alsnog te maken. ik was de hele week zenuwachtig! toen het eindelijk zaterdag was had ik er heel veel zin in . voordat ik de helikopter inging kreeg ik een koptelefoon en een soort van microfoontje . ik stapte in en mijn hart begon harder te kloppen! toen stegen we op toen voelde ik een kick en het was GEWELDIG! het ... read more

Asti was nice to walk around both in the evening and during the day. I prefer old cities with a bit or a lot of history to glass and concrete and skyskrapers. The hotels breakfast was ok , not German style but ok. The breakfast hostess was alaugh though, some old tart dressed up to kill with 12 cm heels and made up to go, a red lamp would have made it complete. Last day are boring, you just mope about waiting for your train, ferry,flight. I decided on taking a detour to Alessandria, to check it out for future reference. France has nice name for it's cities but methinks that Italy beats the frogs hands down. Costliglioe d'Asti, Nizza Monferato, Aquiterme. Inchisa Scappino, Castel nuovo Belbo just to mention a few. Note to self: most ... read more

Travel is fatal to prejudice
All peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go


Overall, the person who has helped me the most is my advisor, Ms.Rosales, shehas always been there for me when I have needed anything, or just when I needed to talk, she always was on my side when she felt I was treated unfairly and pushed for me to be treatedunfairly. She pushes me and always let's me know that I can do anything that I out my mind to. I would have never made it this far without her, she has been my biggest cheer leader through out my entire journey here at UICCP, I will Defeintley remember and be greatfulnfornall the thinks she has done for me.... read more

Come ogni donna, mi piace lo shopping, i vestiti di shopping, scarpe, soprattutto il cibo, i serpenti, il mio preferito. A mio parere, la cosa più bella del mondo per due cose, uno dorme, l'altro sta mangiando. Naturalmente, sonno non avrà alcuna difficoltà, ma esigenze di shopping. Devo camminare così a lungo a prendere quello che voglio. E 'davvero un compito problematico per me. Mentre, non possiamo negarlo. Chi mi permetta di essere una donna? Shopping è la natura delle donne. Inoltre, con l'età cresce, gli occhi per le cose che sono esigente, il che significa che abbiamo una lunga strada da percorrere. hah, a volte, ci piace. Tuttavia, a volte, siamo stanchi di questo. La cosa più importante è che, ogni volta che abbiamo bisogno di trovare una scarpa adatta per confortare i nostri piedi ... read more

Hey :) Morro de Sao Paulo is like paradise, palms trees, beaches and no cars in the main area. The boat over to Morro was nice, we sat on the front with our feet over the front just being travelers so that was nice, we were warned that the boat was reallly bumpy so the girls took dramamin to calm themselve but it wasnt bumpy at all! Then we walked down the cobbled street to the beach walkway and found our hostel. Is a nice hostel, colourful and guy seems nice. The streets are mainly sand and the pousadas (hotels) along the beach are beautiful. They sell pastys that are similar to georgian hajapury which i love (and they are a good greasy late might snack)! We then walked up to the lighthouse and watched the ... read more

When getting into Vegas we drove up the main strip and saw all the incredible hotels! It was like nothing we'd ever seen before! Caesars palace is huge and trump tower looked amazing. We are staying at the tropicana which is a he'll of a lit bette than the car! Got a double bed each and a view if new York new York which is a surreal hotel! Literally just has all the main buildings of new York connected into a hotel! Then we had a huge burger at hard rock cafe with dan and Sarah and went to gamble! I lost three dollars and had no idea how the slot machines worked! Just made noises then sometimes gave me ten cents! But it was fun! Also saw the incredibly cool bellagio water show and the ... read more
