We are continuing our journey down the west coast of South America and will have two sea days before reaching our first port in Chile.
At breakfast this morning, another favorite waitress from the World Cruise spotted me, and Grace and I had a wonderful reunion. I think that makes about ten crew members who sailed with us on Viking Sky.

I enjoy behind-the-scenes tours, so I signed up for the Laundry Tour to “discover the magic behind fresh linens and spotless towels.” Executive Housekeeper Goran showed us the wonderful machine that dries and folds all the sheets, and he explained the various laundry processes and protocols that Viking follows. We also peeked into the linen room where all the clean items are stored.

The ship’s Laundry Master then led us through the process of cleaning and pressing both guest and crew laundry. Although many items, such as shirts, are still ironed by hand, my favorite machine steam presses some shirts and jackets. When in use, it looks as though the jacket is being blown up! For the first time, I saw a similar machine that does the same thing to pants.

Next up was a Viking Octantis Officers' Roundtable where we learned about life onboard the ship. The officers fielded lots of questions and elicited a few laughs.

The time changed tonight, and we had to set our clocks forward. Losing an hour is not nearly as nice as gaining one!
