Day 5: Amalia Glacier

We were up early to see Amalia Glacier since we were scheduled to start 1 hour of viewing at 0730.   While it did not quite match seeing Marjorie Glacier in Glacier Bay, AK, it was very impressive.  At first we watched from the top deck at the front of the ship, but as the boat started to turn around, we hustled to our balcony to get some great pictures.  The water was very still so we got some very good reflection pictures underneath a rather stormy sky.

After we left the glacier, we sailed thru a series of channels between islands which was quite picturesque.   I took a panorama of one of the islands we passed.  (Click the link to view) 

After lunch and today's destination lecture, I played bridge and, after talking to the destination specialist, made a change to our upcoming visit to the Falkland Islands to see more penguins.

We had a new Chocolate Journey dessert tonight!  Princess has hired a chocolate specialist to design these desserts and I have enjoyed all of them, many multiple times.  This one was in a pastry shell with a layer of carmel sauce, covered by a chocolate mousse; tasty indeed!

The Production show tonight was one we have enjoyed many times in the past - Motor City.  Love to hear those Motown songs and see the cast recreate the performances of some of the Motown groups like the Temptations and the Jackson 5.

After that show we heard a duo, Brandon and James, play an unusual mix of popular, classical and opera melodies in their show titled "Rock the Opera", using piano and cello.  It was fascinating how they blended very diverse melodies together.

Tomorrow we arrive at Puerto Arenas where we will take a boat trip to an island to see Magellanic penguins.
