John - you are definitely on the right side of the ship, nice photos - all we can see on the starboard side is desert and a few odd settlements.

Well that's a first. I'm usually on the wrong side.

 

Nice shadow.

How long did your entire transit take? I noticed that there was lots of room at the helipad -- did you go up there after a few hours of transiting (ie, people had moved elsewhere by then)?

I think around 9 hours. Went to Helipad both before 10am and after 11:30. It was never crowded. We were supposed to enter at 4am, turned out more like 6am

 

FWIW, our original g.j final schedule was enter at 9pm

Since I'm stuck in Lotus, I'll share some pics of PC lunch. Al Fresco, buffet. Our host was the HD, Santiago.

Lunch, continued

 

Local cuisine for the most part. Very spicy.

 

Wine was Bordeux. Someone may have had the pink Beringer.
