New Island
Our first landing was at a tiny remote island in the West called New Island, which has a population of exactly 2 residents, John and Charlene. New Island has superb wildlife, most notably giant colonies of Rockhopper Penguins – the little guys with red eyes and spikey yellow eyebrows!! They are curious little fellas who are not shy to walk right up to us (even though we weren’t allowed to get near them, but if they approach us then it’s okay). I spent several hours just staring in amazement at them.On our way out of the island, we all jumped little boats (zodiacs) back to our ship. The ride was only 10 minutes long, but there were 5 dolphins jumping around our boat the entire way back! It was amazing!!!
