80 things we love about Arta: 20

20. Keep Travelling with Arta

Since I learned from Tonia yesterday how to post correctly, sort of, I will finish with South America travels with Arta.

It took us a day to cruise through the Panama Canal. The ship is only 1-3 feet away from the side of the canal. There are two lanes, one going each way. 

And here we are just come out of the Panama Canal.

We sailed on the Celebrity Infinity. Arta and Greg are leaving the ship here and are on the dock of Punta Arenas. Punta Arenas is a city near the tip of Chile's southernmost Patagonia region, located on the Strait of Magellan.

Arta and Greg took an 8 hour bus ride to travel the country and see animals only found in this region. Wyona just took a trip around Punta Arenas because there was a warning on the long excursion that Arta took saying it was bumpy and bad for back problems. When Arta and Greg returned they told me I had to ride a bus in the badlands of Medicine Hat for 3 hours because that is what it was like. Except they got to see Patagonia hares, guanacos, pumas, armadilloes etc.

And then there was a nice said through the Straights of Magellan. Who would have known that when I studied the Straights of Magellan in grade five that I would actually have ever done it. 

And then there was the trip to the penguin rookery, from big ship to little ship. Arta and I are busy taking all the photos we can of the penguins. We were not allowed to get off the ship but just watch from the deck.

Oh we did have some fun times!!!!
