Alba's Bed & Breakfast Ushuaia

... ourselves onto a boat for our trip into the Beagle Channel. After the best hot chocolate Caz has had since we´ve been in South America, we got on the boat and started our trip. First stop was a rocky outcrop that was home to a group of sea lions that were making lots of noise and were performing for the tourists with cameras! We then headed onto Les Eclaireurs lighthouse which was built by ...

... doces. O cheiro eh mesmo otimo mas o gosto da carne nem tanto, incluindo o cordeiro. Um pouco sem tempero, mas valeu!

Amanha fico em Ushuaia mesmo, Museus do Presidio e Yamanas e descanso. No Sabado vou a Puerto Williams onde verei a cidade e pouco mais vissto que os parques estao fechados pela neve. Valera pelo passeio de lancha e por conhercer uma cidade tao pequena e remota, fora do roteiro turistico.

... of Southern Bolvia carries on through the northern parts of Argentina with a landscape that intimidates, by virtue of such beauty, even the most traveled of travelers. Scale, depth, colour, richness work as effective as any adjectives in describing it. Hitting Tilcara is the best one can do to attempt to absorb the same for this gorgeous place and one can not hep but feel like they are in Arrowtown with uncanny similarities in ...

... way up . The view from the top wasn`t bad although the glacier itself is really small. Still the first glacier I have ever seen. I spent the evening trying to map out my next two weeks all the way to Santiago. Getting around these parts is teduious, very tedious as I was about to find out over next week or so. Thursday, with time running out here I opted for two tours for some rapid sightseeing or speed tourism as ...

... and deserted campsites so far...but there`s always the option of pulling into a layby in the future! eeek! So far we`ve stopped at a beautiful beach and camped right next to it...although it had slight gale force winds! We camped one night at the ferry port at the Magellan strait ready to cross the border from the continent in the morning, only to be woken up at 5am by raucous laughter and screams...the tents where flying away in a massive storm!! Our one was the last one ...

... airline started to call out my flight number and I had to go to the front of the line as it was departing soon, now comes the good news, an upgrade to business class thank you very much, ok so here I sit I have arrived in Ushuaia after a false start on the plane you see this was a flight that stopped along the way, the only problem with that was that I could not understand the stewardess and so I got of the plan and was standing there waiting for my ...

... its nature at its best, we awoke to a inch of snow on deck this morning. It is a overcast day, but sun is trying to peak thru, hopefully, This afternoon we are doing a landing at Petermann Island, suppose to be Adele penguins there, probably more seals to see. also 2000 breeding pairs of Gentoo penguins. There are two camerman on board from BBC tv network in England who are filming a documentary on Antarctica on a new Planet Earth series. we are ...

... have all the svelte aerodynamics of a Chesterfield lounge suite in this ferocious onslaught. To try and minimise the battering received, both of us have our heads down on the speedo, bum planted on the seat and chest strapped to the tank - the kind of positions seen only on Airline safety cards. Try maintaining that for 2 hours straight and your first week at the chiropractor is on me. The wind is picking up as we go into the day and I wonder just how the sheep stay planted ...

... the same at home really). The sub-antarctic weather was changeable to say the least! In the space of 10 mins the temp could drop 20 degrees and in one day we had sun, rain, wind, snow and hail! All the kit performed well - we now know we can survive the toughest sub-antarctic conditions! We saw extensive damage to the forests all across the area from beavers - they made our trekking difficult and their dams didn´t even provide ...

... thought I'd be climbing the steps up to it myself.

We did the usual photo call and tried to basically cover as much ground as we could in a short space of time.

All too soon we had to get ready to go back to the ship. We were on the last zodiac back! All in all a magical experience to be at the bottom of the continent and in such a remote place.

Back on the boat it was time for breakfast and ...
