Here we were out there in our open Zodiacs, when suddenly

another Zodiac approached with a huge yellow flag flapping above
the stern. Wonder of wonders! It was the “hot chocolate

delivery” boat. Our hostess gave everyone the choice of plain hot
chocolate or hot chocolate with whiskey. Well, we didn’t want to

ruin a good cup of hot cocoa, so we took ours “straight.” What a
great surprise!

It was a treat to be in Magnus’ zodiac as he was full of wonderful

stories about his experiences in Africa, Kazakhstan, and in service
with Lindblad. He knew much about the early explorations in this
area and was good at sharing them with us.
