Punta Arenas

PUNTA ARENAS, CHILE

One had to be tough…
To endure this “tender’’ ride that was very rough.

25 minutes before we reached land
With everyone holding a barf bag in their hand!

But once on shore
We felt sick no more.

A stroll to the market place.
Changed the color from green to red in our face.

But getting back on the ship
Became an unforgettable trip.

We were in line for more then an hour
While the passengers mood turned sour.

The ride back to the ship was 45 minutes in agony
While only splashing and crashing we could hear and see.

We were packed like sardines in a can
All had a scared look, even the man!

The promise when rubbing the toe of an Indian’s statue to return
We had wanted to earn.

But after weather of this kind
We changed our mind.
