Sailing From Europe To Latin America
Ola amigos,
After a month, we put forth for a long time ashore (a year?). We are in Lima, Peru arrived. And we have known it. Immediately all the second day to spend in the 'scrapheap' because we do not 'protected' by the good cooking of our cook on board.
Alex, we are brought to the port of Rotterdam and there we saw "our" ship, the Atacama. Even greater than we had imagined and fortunately neatly into the paint; we were immediately impressed. Incoming and "ola, buenos dias' calling, it would be a Chilean crew, the officers of Romanian origin were found to be.
In Europe, we got the chance to spend a day in port, we started in Rotterdam. We strolled through the city and we were asked for a photo shoot for an advert for 'Insurance city of Rotterdam. Perhaps you one of us in the AD or the metro and in the background the town hall. Thus we have earned at the last minute as much as 240 euros. And we would not work this trip, we agreed !! Hamburg, Antwerp (Missed Johan and Marie-Luce), Bilbao and Vigo visited. Yes, and when we went to leave Europe really!
Get an impression what we have seen along the way, see next YouTube slide show video.
