Punta Arenas

An early morning anchor wake up, and suddenly we have civilisation. Surprisingly warmer than the past few days.

Welcome to….

This recognised the story of Ernest Shackleton and the failed Antarctic expedition of Endurance.

And of course Mr Magellan is likewise celebrated.

The obelisk in commemoration of the first circumnavigation of the world in 1520.

An impressive amount of street art.

And, of course, a fab viewpoint at the top of a hill.

The museum in town was very interesting, most of which had English translation.

There was also much about the indigenous people of the area, which then moved on to the arrival of missionaries and their impact on the locals. I couldn’t help finding myself this time in the middle of a different musical, especially on finding a photo of the first children who were baptised!

Ok, one more place we need to visit! Ding dong!

Mañana es un último día!

This evening’s entertainment was from the main singers and dancers together with a few more acrobatic entertainers.

An absolutely amazing show with a fusion of music genres more out there than you would ever think would work. We had Eine kleine Nachtmusik with drums, and the one that topped it for me was Wonderwall meshed with Hans Zimmer’s Time (from Inception).
