rounded the Horn. An unbelievable experience! Wewere lucky and had a relatively calm and clear day - so the spot where around 80 ships are on the sea bed along with over 10,000 souls,we rounded safely!!
Then off to the Veuve Cliquot champagne bar to crack open a bottle at around 11am with our table mates. A nice champagne shall we say!
Then it was off for a bit of lunch as the Queen Mary 2 prepared to head down the Beagle Channel. After we rounded the Horn, the ship headed towards the Chilean fjords. We were disturbed at lunch by the sight of... penguins! Families of penguins off the right hand side!
Here is the view from the QM2 - down the fjords and then of Puerto William, the world´s most Southerly city.
In the afternoon we had the most spectacular views of all. As we sailed down the Beagle Channel, we had the sight of glaciers to our right - unbelievable! The second one had a waterfall where the ice is clearly melting on its way to the sea. An amazing sight!! 
So on to dinner, a few more drinks and then a special cake made by our kitchen staff!
