A walk in the woods

 

 

On the way back to the ship we stopped at the Rio Simpson Museum ( it was closed but we could walk around the park area ) and the Puerto Aysen Suspension Bridge for photos .

Our cruise through the fjords was overcast , grey , and misty . Not the best for photos .

 

 

 

The featured highlight was the shipwreck of The Captain Leonidas

 

 

But it is a pretty area as you can see in this video clip :

 

 

 

We decided to go watch the organ play in the Atrium

 

 

 

 

A video clip of a timely tune :

That organ! Wow - amazing.  My cousin had a recognition at her church a while back for playing the organ for them for 50 years.  What a talent.  Misty grey days at the fjords, not the best but it is what it is.  I had to go look up the Captain Leonidas.  Very interesting.

Sailing through the fog and mist is spooky and enchanting.

Thanks for sharing your day.

Great pictures and videos.  Loved listening to the organ on the Zaandam.

 

Sorry you had a foggy/misty day in the fjords.

It was spooky that nobody was playing . We would have loved to have see a concert on that organ .

That would remind me too much of Phantom of the Opera.

We saw him at Her Majesty's Theatre in London and quite enjoyed it .

We didn't know which glacier that we were going to early in the morning but we have been to Amalia twice 

 

 

In 2007 we had wet snow on the NCL Dream

 

 

 

In 2013 on the Zaandam it was better

 

 

 

 

And so what would it be this time ?

 

 

[scubacruiserx2]

 

 

We were up early for the sail in and we were not alone .

 

 

In fact they brought the Artillery

 

 

It wasn't too crowded when we first got there

 

 

 

And as we drew closer to Brujo the business picked up

 

 

 

[scubacruiserx2]

 

 

 

 

We almost forgot that we had ordered breakfast in our room so we hustled down

 

 

So the rest of the photos would come from the balcony

That is one mighty large glacier.  Beautiful pictures.  Love the reflection in the water.
