Ethiopia
Well done. You always seem to have interesting trips with this company. I will have to look them up. We would like to get to Ethiopia sooner than later.

I already understood that you enjoyed the trip
I didn't have to read this blog entry to understasnd that you enjoyed the trip. Some other day I will have a go at the rest of your entries. Thanks for letting me follow you on your visit to Antarctica. /Ake

Sorry about the bad weather
Sorry to hear that you had some bad weather and the excursion was cancelled. We had something similar happen to us in Spain during Easter. With the big difference that we can easily go back some other time and have a another attempt at that tour. You really can't I guess. /Ake

Penguins
I also love penguins. I watched an episode of Planet Earth TV-series a few years back where they went to an island called Zavodovski Island. There are millions of penguins there. It looked really awesome on TV, but in reality it is supposed to smell pretty bad there. /Ake

Probably an urban legend
I have heard a story that there somewhere in Antarctica is an abandoned station where they left hundreds of movie reels behind when they left. Supposedly those films are really valuable since many of them are rare movies from early 20th century. That's probably an urban legend though. It sounds too good to be true. But reading about the scientific station it makes me understand why such a legend has appeared in the first place. /Ake

Lalibella
We were in Lalibella for Timket (the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist) in 2011. What an inspiring place. I'll have to check my photos as your pic of St Georges Church shows leaching that I do not recall but adds to its allure. I will post this in TB's "Cathedrals, grand churches, mosques & places of worship" thread in the Photography Forum. Check 'em out.

Nice to read about Argentina
I have never visited Argentina but I am sure I'd like it there. Palacio Barolo looks awesome actually. Interesting that it was inspired by the Divine Comedy. /Ake

Antarctica in her beauty
I remember how we felt when we held this flag. Awesome.

Beautiful photo
Fantastic.

The joys of the zodiac
I love touring in zodiacs as you are so close to the water. Antarctica is one of a kind.
