Day 5 - At sea |
| This journal is constructed as one web page for each day of my journey, including the arrival day in Auckland, and the final two days, which I spent in Hobart. I have tried to keep the picture images of a reasonable size for easy web page loading. To see a much larger view of (practically) any image, just left-click on the photo. |

Today we are at sea. Quite fascinating to just
watch the water all day - you begin to wonder if there really is land
somewhere. Since we have no landings today, we did get lots of lecture
sessions - a history talk from John, Nigel gave a presentation on birds, we saw
a video about the rat extermination on Campbell Island from Stu, and a video
about Ingrid's work with Orcas in New Zealand.
Every evening we get an itinerary for the next day. Each one includes a Russian word/phrase to learn. Today's is "dobrey vercher" - good evening. Also, Art is good at trying to teach us some Russian. |
