Antartica...
The journey was long and not really confortable, but exciting as well.
After an 11 hours flight from Paris on 1st of december we visited
Hong-Kong for a day. Honk-Kong is an amazing city, mixing modernism and
tradition. After walking 10 hours through the city we flew to Sydney were
we had a short stop (but long enough to have a drink on a terrasse,
enjoying australian summer...) and finally we took our last plane to
Hobart, Tasmania. There the boat was waiting for us, and the day after we
started with our final journey, a 7 days-long trip through the agitated
antartic ocean... I got terrible sea-sick and spent 4 days in bed. But
when I got up, I could see the first icebergs, penguins, and seals from
the boat wich was slowly making his way through the ice... Amazing...
The boat finally got stuck 30 miles from the coast and we had to finish
our journey by helicopter to reach the station.
And we got to know our new home, with the thousands of Adelie penguins
nesting on each single rock of the island, the amazing landscape we have
from our dormitory, the nearby emperor penguins colony...The sea-ice is
about to disapear around the station so we enjoy the last walks around
before beeing stuck for the rest of the summer on our small island. We
have to be carefull on each step, few people already had a cold bath this
week..
Pictures are to come in next posts...
Y tu andadura no ha hecho más que empezar... ;-)

Un abrazo desde el viejo continente.
Hola Sophie!
ResponderEliminarQue sepas que desde que te has ido,el dia 1,me he acordado mucho de ti,de como te iria por esas tierras,de si estabas bien,de donde dormias,de que comias....me alegro mucho de que hayas llegado bien.
Al leer este primer post de la antartida tengo que admitir que al principio me diste una envidia terrible con lo de que estuviste unas horas por Hong Kong,siempre he tenido ganas de estar por esas tierras.Y luego con que fuiste a Sydney,sobre todo porque alli es verano...
El resto del viaje no apetece demasiado jeje,pero bueno,siempre te quedara como el comienzo de esta gran aventura de ir a la antartida.El viaje en barco ha tenido que ser mortal,pobrecita.
Pocas personas tienen la suerte de estar viviendo lo que tu ahora,pero no te esta pasando nada que tu no te hayas merecido con tu trabajo y esfuerzo,y en muy pequeñas dosis,como no,de un poco de suerte.
Un besito guapa.
Pilar
Madre mia..
