Tango B&B Ushuaia

... here and there. Easy views are had of the harbor and container yards that help cater to the areas fishing and mining economy. <br><br>Day 2 was the day to be had. It was our day to sail the Beagle Channel on vessel ¨If...¨ and see what is the southernmost point in Argentina. (Chile has the southernmost land in the Americas) It was a beautiful blue sky day with strong winds from the northwest. We were a bit skeptical of the weather to be ...

... montanha perguntei sobre aluguel de raquetes de neve e a existencia de guias. As raquetes podem ser alugadas, mas nao ha guias. Ao sair, descendo as escadas congeladas, escorreguei e caih duas vezes. Na ultima, um taxista perguntou se estava bem, pedi que me trouxesse de volta a Ushuaia.<br><br>Foi um dia legal demais. O lugar eh lindo e pude caminhar um pouco na neve. Nao corri riscos porque soube parar quando devia, apesar da vontade de ...

... indicating that here, Ushuia, was over 5000km south. I wasn't sure that I would get here but after venturing through the beauty of the deserted landscape of Northern Argentina, the beauty of the ferocious water of the Iguazu falls, the beauty of the cheap electronics of Paraguay, the beauty of the women of Florianopolis (Brazil), the supposed beauty of a simulated sex scene in the park of Puerto Allegre (Brazil) , the beauty ...

... looked like geese... I had my heart set on seeing a penguin seen as we are so close to Antartica but they don`t hang around in this part of the island. I did however find a guy hanging out at the post box that looked just like one, so I duly got a photo just in case this was the only one I would see down here. There were two interestingly coloured lakes, (well interesting to the non geographers as they were pretty ...

... Was a lot of fun especially as there were so many people there! Absolutly a great party :) Today I´m actually going of for an excursion on the Beagle, including a walk on Bridges Island which of course I will tell you all about! probably next month :P And Tomorrow evening am of for dinner at the best sea food restaurant in town to try Centolla. The kingcrab. Its incredibly famous here and apparently caugh just of Antartica so am curious about trying it! Will keep you posted, Love Aish

Ushuaia likes to use the slogan "The End of the World" sounds a bit dramatic to me! It is the worlds most southerly city and the end of the Argentinian road more than 3000km from Buenos Aires though. What they don´t like to say is that there´s a settlement just over the water further south than Ushuaia but it´s in Chile and it´s too small to be a city! It calls its self "Puerto Williams - Beyond the End of the World." Ushuaia is a port town and has a ...

... About 20 minutes after Jim left the sun came out in full force and we had a beautiful afternoon. The town is really picturesque - since we were here last year - I didn't take too many photos and won't go into too much more detail since most of you read about it then. On our way out of Ushuaia tonight we sailed by 5 glaciers so we didn't go to the dining room for dinner - Jim was feeling terrible - so we just waited ...

... our own planet changing beyond our control, there is still someone bold enough to tackle the issues that matter. Today we transition from the Pampas and onto the coast (hurrah!), but the much awaited change in scenery is met with an increase in winds (Booo!) and even longer, straighter gunbarrel roads that point deep into nowhere (Yawn). There is also no escaping the fact that the seat on this bike is a relic from Changi prison, skillfully depriving the legs of all circulation ...

... and the hub for Antarctica cruises in summer. It is gorgeous really with its quaint buildings and backdrop of snowy mountains which surround the town and can be seen from almost any street, but there´s not a lot to do here. My plan was to spend some time trekking in the Tierra del Fuego National Park which is meant to be stunning, but instead, I have the flu (courtesy of someone on the ship no doubt) and feel awful. That, coupled with the fact that it has been ...
