South America & Antarctica

A cruise from Rio de Janeiro down to the Antarctic, round Cape Horn and up to Valparaiso, where we disembarked and did a land tour to Santiago de Chile, flew on to Buenos Aires and headed for Iguazu to visit the Falls....more than a month's trip which was well worth the time and effort! And, because our luggage did not catch up with us for the whole five weeks, we learnt the meaning of "wash and wear"...you wash, and then immediately wear, and then wash...repeat, repeat, repeat for the five weeks...and you know well the meaning...!!!!
