Now to the tip of South America. First Full Sea Day – Day 3 of cruise March 2017

We are finally at sea. The Zaandam departed Montevideo, Uruguay on March 23rd at 6pm. The weather is 77 degrees, calm winds. This photo shows our favorite part of the ship. This is called the Promenade Deck because you can walk all the way around the ship on this deck. Outside! Four times around is one mile. Our cabin is just to the right of where I am standing taking the picture of the sunset. We have a window and could see this beautiful sunset. Those chairs have soft cushions where we lounge most days after lunch on sea days. Ahhhh. Our favorite part of cruising – after I have rounded this deck about 12 times anyway.

Exploring the world has always been my dream. These aren't "vacations". They are travels to every corner far and wide. We are 'budget' travelers and always travel light. Our goal is always to get to know the locals and avoid tourist areas. We do use cruise ships but not in the normal way. We don't drink nor gamble so that saves us lots of money. We might only see each port for one full day but have been known to return later on our own. View all posts by Marla Vannice
