Good evening everyone. Amy and I are in Ushuaia. The End of the World. The Land of Fire. And we are only one day late! Yes, we were supposed to be here last night, but guess what? We were stuck in Buenos Aires for an extra day! Wanna hear about it? You know you do! Yes, I will get to the good stuff about Iguazu and Ushuaia, but first let´s all read along with Derek and Amy´s fun adventures yesterday!
We arrive back in BA about 10am Friday morning after our 18 hour bus trip from Iguazu....
Our first full day in Ushuaia is just about over, and it was great! Ushuaia is incredibly beautiful! Nestled in between the mountains and the sea, it is basically a fishing and tourist town these days.
Today we went to the Tierra del Fuego National Park and hiked around on different trails for about 4 hours. Such a beautiful park! It is definitely comparable to Yosemite or Glacier park. They are just coming out of winter here, so there was still snow everywhere. As a matter of fact, it...
Good afternoon (I guess it is still morning in the U.S. technically). How was everyone´s Monday? Ours was pretty fantastic I must say. I think I have said this the last couple of posts, but Ushuaia is beautiful! Yesterday we had snow, today we had some clouds in the morning and blue skies in the afternoon. Couple that with the water and the snowy mountains and you have some amazing scenery.
Today we took a cruise around the Beagle Channel, which is the area around Ushuaia - basically a...
Well after 35 hours, 6 airports, 5 aeroplanes, 3 countries, 2 times zones and with the helping hand of BA no bloody Luggage.We have made it to the bottom of the world. All I can say is its been one hell of a start to the trip. Its been like the wackey races trying to get on planes which are either delayed or cancelled. Never mind we are here now and if some body offers me a cheese sandwich I will scream. The food on the flight was *****, choice of cheese sandwich or cheese sandwich. You all k...

... eerste eiland, laten we het voor het gemak Groot Brittanie noemen, woonden twee volksstammen in volstrekte harmonie. Allereerst de Christelijke soort wannabe pinguins en daarnaast de Moslimse zeeleeuwen. Om dit zo te houden, lieten ze geen mensen op het eiland toe en zeker geen onrustzaaiers als Wilders, groot gelijk. De wannabe´s geven altijd zo´n vertederend gevoel, echt grappig hoe ze heen en weer waggelen over het eiland, maar onze interesse ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina heinlisenka... old, different nationalities, lot of bird watchers, and also many for whom this is not their first time traveling to Antarctica (and people asked me Why I was going to Antarctica) As some of you may already know, there is no regular tourist/passenger service to Antarctica. Quark expeditions charters Russian Ice Breaker ships with ice strengthened hulls which are designed to navigate in frigid seas, with Russian crew who is ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina alpanjayWell this morning, Marie and I had a 6 am flight down to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city at the very tip of South America. It is next to Tierra del Fuego National Park, which we will explore tomorrow. The approaching descent to the airport provided breathtaking views of the region. The mountains are all snowcapped and fantasticly dramatic. We are staying at a little hostel where we have already made a few friends ...
ushuaia, Argentina simsinchile... myself enjoying it all for a moment. But then the wind picks up again and Ruta 3 degenerates into its usual 4:4 rhythm. A BMW GS (the ones that Charley and Ewan cadged) passes us going at 150 km/h and I know that both of us momentarily thought " Oh I wish that was me" as we chug along at a Clydesdalian 105 km/h. With 230 kg of weight versus our puny 147kg the wind seems to grant his bike some kind of immunity from persecution, so it's very easy to hold onto some horsepower envy ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina barneyandpier... some of the way across. (Incidentally, the second photo uploaded is a cheat which I found when trying to identify the type of dolphin - only photo on this site not taken by us! - but it was taken off the same ferry. I wasn't ready with the camera in time to get such a good shot.). Things really start to look up about one and a half hours before Ushuaia when the bus actually makes a 10 minute stop at pretty Tolhuan, where there is a bakery with excellent ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina aandl... get in. The steak was lovely and so was the wine. Outside it was bitterly cold and we were glad to be inside. <br><br>On our way back up the hill to the hotel we found that the franchise of Ireland really has reached everywhere with The Dublin Pub. It was actually a bit of a locals' affair and we ended up on the locally brewed dark beer. <br><br>The next day after a really nice hotel breakfast and an email ...
