i have just landed in antartica and the plane's
windows are all frosted over.
we all get off the plane to a small airport that has only 3 other planes (not including the one we arrived in). it is absolutely freezing... it must be under -5°C .
i quickly pull my parka on over the top of several jumpers and place my beanie over my red ears.
in the distance i can see glaciers and ice shelfs everywhere. everything is white and frozen over. i can hear the chatter of the penguins as they slide into the icy water and the sqwaking of the albatrosses as the glide over the frosty ocean. it is mag-nif-i-cent.
as i walk along the icy graound i can see a sled and a bunch of huskies inj front of it. i look at the 'driver' and he tells me to get on. i get on and away we go.
we reach a hotel in the middle of nowhere and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful.
and then as i am standing there out the front of my hotel i can see a polar bear and its cub in the distance. it is gorgeous. they have white fluffy fur covering their bodies and the cub is walking in between her mothers legs and nipping her ankles... its obviously a game.
i start towards my hotel and get inside to the heat.
ok speak to you soon
♥ laura xoxo
