Saturday, January 8th
That morning we woke up to our captain parking TW in Hercules Bay. And what a job he did! We felt like we could almost touch the rocks; jokes were told about being parked just about on the beach.
WG’s adventures started with a zodiac cruise at 8:10am. We cruised around in some high swells (of which I am not a big fan), but it was really worth it to see the Macaroni Penguins! Back on TW around 9:30am.
During lunchtime we sailed to Grytviken, the capital of South Georgia, where we anchored in the bay. This time we could go ashore by tender (so no wet landing).
The 3 of us went on the afternoon hike from Grytviken to the overlook to Maiviken. It was nice to be able to stretch our legs for a while. Nice views and good weather yet again.
After the hike Alison went back to TW, while Stephen and I looked around some more. We visited the cemetery where Sir Ernest Shackleton is buried and had a look around the museum and shop.
