Graham is currently writing his and his wife’s story of their travels to Antarctica and being isolated in their cabins off the coast of Montevideo, Uruguay for 3 weeks on the ship Greg Mortimer. We returned to Australia with another two weeks quarantine in the infamous Rydges Hotel then released to home quarantine back in Maitland for another 2 weeks. There are so many twist and turns with a huge helping of inefficiencies along our long road to home.
Story coming soon with some very beautiful photos of Antarctica.
