Slightly off the beaten track

What are your future travel plans?

Holland America Cruise Ship Oosterdam

Planned and booked our next big journey

Slightly off the beaten track.

Flying first to Buenos Aries

Santiago coming back.


Meanwhile places we’ve not been to

On the good ship Oosterdam

Can’t say I am not excited

Looking forward? Yes I am.


Round the coast from Argentina

Dropping in on Uruguay

Visiting the Falkland Islands

And its Penguin colony.


Dropping down to the Antarctic

Sights we won’t have seen before

Wildlife witnessed on the ice floes

Penguins, seals and many more.


Sailing back towards Cape Horn

Up through the Magellan Straits.

Hoping not too rough a passage

but one to boast of to our mates.


Up the coast to Santiago

Where we round our journey off.

Flying back from there to Heathrow

Three weeks cruising quite enough.
