Day 12: Sunday, December 15, 2019: Punta Arenas, Chile
We arrived in Punta Arenas, Chile at 9:00 am. This purported to be the city with the 4th highest winds on the planet. It wasn't too bad when we departed the ship for our hiking excursion around 9:30 am.
We walked the length of the pier and were loaded on a bus which took us to the ski resort where we would board a lift to take us to the top. The resort was at an elevation of 1200 feet.
The winds was much greater up at the ski resort and it was much cooler. The ski lift was invigorating and it took about 10 minutes to reach the top.
We were at an elevation of 1900 feet at the top of the lift.
One of the hikers got her clothing caught in the lift and almost took an unexpected ride.
Tomorrow we will be cruising north along Chile's coast, passing the Amalia Glacier at some point. On Tuesday, we sail the Chilean Fiords. Our next port stop is not until Wednesday
