saw a sheep sheared. Then when we got to Christchurch, we visited the
Antarctica Centre. 70% of those who go to Antarctica go through New
Zealand. We learned quite a bit by visiting the Centre. In the
picture Marv, Barb, Tom and Ann are experiencing the darkened feeling
just after the picture was taken. We also experienced the cold and
strong winds. This occurred for less than 5 minutes and we knew we
would be experiencing similar weather in a few days in Michigan!
We also saw a 4D movie that allowed the usual 3D effect with penguins
and seals up close with our boat clipping the side of icebergs. The
extra D involved the wind actually hitting us, water was sprayed on us
at times, and we were sometimes rocked in our chairs. It was pretty
cool. There were penguins to watch. There were also many educational
facts about Antarctica.
What a whirlwind, fabulous trip of a lifetime! I can't imagine how you packed for all the temperatures. Seems like you have been around the world. Glad you have had safe travels and enjoyed the blog.
