Light winds and calm waters greeted us as National Geographic Endurance entered Port Stanley this morning. We disembarked after a breakfast, and the Zodiacs brought us ashore, where morning excursions awaited.
Some of us enjoyed a visit to Fitzroy Farm, while others took a tour of local highlights. Some guests enjoyed a walk through town for some shopping. The streets were peppered with spectators and colorful runners for the annual local marathon.
The afternoon offered the option of a second excursion, including one to Gypsy Cove. Detailed stories from local guides related eyewitness accounts that could never be found in books. After a long day, the winds picked up, and it was time for an exciting Zodiac ride back to the ship for a very special dinner. If that wasn’t enough, the evening’s entertainment was a local band brought on board by our ever so able and creative expedition leader. We could not have hoped for a better end to such a full day.
