So why did it take me so long to decide to go to Antarctica? A simple 3-word answer: The Drake Passage. This stretch of water, between the tip of South America and the northern reach of the Antarctic Peninsula, is infamous for its storms. And… I get seasick. When Dag went to Antarctica some years ago on a refurbished Russian research vessel, he called me by satellite phone, telling me excitedly that he was up on the bridge next to the captain watching 30 foot waves breaking over the boat. Just hearing about it made me queasy. Seasickness hadn’t deterred me in the past. I’d been on lots of boat trips all over the world, from the Galapagos to the far western shores of Indonesia. When conditions got a bit rough I coped by lying down and imagining I was being rocked in a cradle. If things got worse, I took a Gravol and snoozed. But a trip to Antarctica means two days each way across the Drake Passage, and the thought of spending so long flat out and drugged just wasn’t appealing. Then I met the guys from Polar Latitudes. They told me about their new boat, Hebridean Sky, with its fabulous stabilizers. They sent me pictures of the luxurious cabins. If need be I could curl up in comfort for two days and wake to find myself in the Antarctic wonderland. I had always wanted to go there. And in these days of global warming, and massive chunks of ice breaking free, I felt I had to do it sooner than later. I told myself to be a big girl. I booked my flights. I stocked up on motion sickness medications, and off I went ......... #antarctica #antarctic #drakepassage @polarlatitudes #responsibletourism #AntarcticaDay #AntarcticAmbassadors #LoveAntartica #hiddenplacestravel #hiddenplacesadventures

Ah, our hearts sing! Here’s what a guest said about their recent Namibia trip with Hidden Places: 'This trip was spectacular! The itinerary exposed us to beautiful sections of Namibia, and a wonderful variety of activities. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative, and took good care of every detail to make sure we had an extraordinary experience. The accommodations were luxurious and set in natural, conservation-oriented settings. Each lodge had distinct experiences to offer, with wonderful nature guides. Our time hiking and riding jeeps in the bush, seeing the Skeleton Coast from a small plane, kayaking on a lagoon, quietly watching wildlife at a water hole for hours, seeing the African sunsets and stars for the first time, and exploring brilliant red sand dunes---was transformative. This was truly the trip of a lifetime.” Join Maria on our next scheduled Namibia trip in September 2018! . . . #namibia #africa #safari #tripofalifetime #nature #naturephotography #landscapephotography @beautifulnamibia @africat_foundation #naturelovers#nature_perfection #africansafari #hiddenplacesadventures #hiddenplacestravel
