Fun experience - seals, flamingos and pelicans

5.00Guides were lovely, fun and knowledgeable. Although quite a long time in the 4x4 after driving all day, we say pelican, flamingos, deals (sadly dead ones too), pink salt plains and learned about the life on the coast. The guides were so passionate.
Beautiful Island and Beach ... Such an Adventure!

5.00We visited the Falkland Islands on a Quark Antarctica Adventure. We actually spent two days in the Islands, but slept each night on our ship. We were transported to the islands by Zodiac. We really hit it lucky because Princess Anne was visiting Stanley on Veteran's Day to lay a wreath at the War Memorial. The whole town was there, and there was still front row room to see the princess and the ceremony. We also went to Gypsy Cove where I saw several beautiful birds, but NO penguins. Others saw penguins; I guess I just didn't go far enough. The beach at Gypsy Cove is stunning ... a beautiful shade of aquamarine and pure white sand. We had gorgeous weather; one day it was in the high 60s. I loved the little town of Stanley; it was just delightful. We had lunch in a cute little cafe and did lots of souvenir shopping as it was our last port in civilization!
