here we go
oh my God we get to go in the helicopter again can you believe it Superstar dream come true
the first time I feel so addicted to that helicopter oh my God and they said hey we're
gonna let you do it again today for free you know included outside there's like no wind
uh clouds are super high so we'll have a good view super bright out you probably can't see
anything if I go here except for Emily's uh free Orca food sign which we've seen many
orcas since she put this up only since she put us up we're still south of the Antarctic
Circle here and this is gonna be a stunning second flight scene if you could have told
me three months ago that I would even be in Antarctica much less on this 22 day long trip
somehow miraculously I would not believe you I would not believe you but the weird part
is
[Music] thank you

just took our second helicopter ride and it was so cool this time the coolest part was
that the ship was still sailing as we went on our helicopter tour there wasn't as many
beautiful peaky mountains that we went over but I did get to see two humpback whales as
we are coming back to the boat and just seeing the boat breaking through the water was really
really cool from this guy [Music]
do you see those humpbacks [Music]
foreign
past the Viking Polaris right now the bike the boat that got messed up in the storm the
last time you can see the three the windows that have a steel plate over them there's
a lot of Windows this boat they told us it would be out for the season you know on our
last trip this was the ship where the American lady died and seeing the boat next to us is
not that encouraging honestly cork is a high quality company it does look pretty nice though
but yeah yeah this is supposed to be their Flagship and it and those windows got taken
out it's more sad than anything I just feel so bad that someone got so seriously injured
and and passed away
well that was our last Excursion we're heading North now back to schwaia I never really thought
I'd go on a cruise as an adventurous budget traveler they really don't check all the boxes
but these Antarctica Expeditions we've done have been so beyond meeting my expectations
being on a ship for so long with people really builds a sense of community Quark has done
such an amazing job hiring the most knowledgeable and interesting people and making itineraries
so even the sea days are memorable we've gotten a break from planning camping searching all
of our worries have melted away thank you
thanks Ricky they are but the amount that I've missed our pets is astronomical I really
can't wait to be back in the van relaxing in the middle of nowhere at a campsite with
them again of course first we have to cross the Drake for the first time on this Cruise
through our day tomorrow but looking at kind of three 3.8 throughout the day tomorrow so
this is around two o'clock and then coming in just a cressing four I've been watching
kind of the flow of our journey and based on the forecast on Wendy that I've been watching
it kind of looks like the forecast is maxing at four which is uh favorable oh no you guys
it's gonna be the end of the trip so soon oh open ocean out there and the dreaded time
has come it's that part of the trip where you receive upon your bed the gratuities form
everybody has been so good this service I gotta say look here I got that's a go beer
from the dinner they're such great people down there like I said to go empanadas sitting
right here and it looks like they're asking for a suggested amount for the hotel team
420 dollars I think they deserve it but then they just say Expedition team up to your discretion
so I think they're better paid you know than the hotel Staff last time maybe we went with
you know half to the same amount as the hotel team crazy that this trip is coming to an
end you know when this is your life like it is for us um we haven't actually spent any
money this whole trip basically except for the gift shop you know a couple little beers
or something hard to go back to the van but good to go back to the van compared to going
back to work a lot of these people just feel so intense going back hard to quit So speaking
of money the ship is hosting an auction for charity and I have a feeling it's going to
be way out of our price range and one thousand dollars so
it's sold 2
is so good morning we are heading off of the boat today it's pretty sad yeah the last time
whenever we were heading off the boat we knew we were going to be getting on a new another
boat not long after and this time it's like not only are we ending the Antarctic travels
we're going to be heading north we don't have any other reason to be here down in the Fuego
in baragonia so it's kind of a sad Bittersweet day we had such an amazing time in Antarctica
South Georgia and the Falklands on the plus side I am really really really excited to
see Grandma zambrita it's been way too long it I have felt some really lovesick for the
pets and I'm excited to see them so we're gonna go and pick them up now I think after
that we're going to just hang out in ushuaya for a couple days so that we can recharge
our batteries it's and also do some laundry do the pet paperwork do some pet paperwork
to cross the border again it's just crazy that we're heading north it really is like
the end of many trips not just trip that we just finished completely new story that we're
about to tell so I'm really excited to bring you guys along with us [Music] all right so
Emily had to wash the bags while I grabbed the van but look oh the van's looking good
and here after I've checked the oil checked the coolant I checked the tires let's turn
this beast on
oh it's alive [Music] that's some good news oh my God I think I'm gonna let it warm up
because it hasn't ran in a month but we might as well look under the hood while it's well
it's warming up here this is where the van has been here in New schwaia the whole time
a couple other overlanders here a ton of motorcycles just took off yeah the van's looking good
engine sounds normal but the coolant level looks good but it looks like the oil hasn't
really leaked much while we've been gone sad to be off of the ship but pretty stuck to
be back in the van first stop off the boat from the vegan place oh man
it's really too good it's so good but by the way the boat is already left oh the ship is
