All the passengers and crew, Captain Cookie, Lieutenant Montblanc, the two stewards, got off the airship when we arrived at the port in the Chilly Peaks. One of the stewards tied up the airship with a rope (the rope I tugged in the Cocktail Lounge) to stop it floating away.
The port was a small flat ledge near the top of one of the peaks. There was a sign saying "Welcome To Chilly Peaks", and another sign saying "Soup. Coffee" and another one saying "Customers are advised and warned that because of slippiness it is not wise to walk near the edge of the ledge".
I looked around at all the passengers as they stretched their extremities on the ledge before rushing in to the "Chilly Peaks Shack". Mostly penguins, a crane, and one or two seals. They didn't seem bothered by the extreme chilliness, but I was glad to get inside the warm shack, even though I was wearing a big coat that one of the stewards had provided.
