Have just arrived in the Falkland Islands at Stanley. Lucky we arrived in almost summer because it is very cold and we are wearing parkas, scarves and gloves.
Unfortunately we missed Montevideo because just as the ship arrived near the port, we were notified that a boat was on fire in the harbour and the port was closed all day. Such a shame!
We have spent the last three days at sea relaxing, reading, eating and having a great time. Last night we dined at the Pinnacle Grill which is the top restaurant on the ship. It is worthy of a Michelin star - Bulgari china, Reidel glasses and the most stunning food.
We have spent the morning walking round Stanley. It is very British. We passed places like Thatcher Drive and the houses and pubs are very British. We have seen Government House the Falklands war memorial from 1982 and will soon be heading off on a tour to a penguin rookery where we hope to see three different species. Hope to send you the photos later.
Tomorrow we go round Cape Horn.

Ohhh Penguins. They're so cute.
I can't believe how cold it is there. And they fought a war over this ice berg?
Restaurant sounds V. Posh, but what did you eat!?
Good luck going round the Horn.
