Apart Hotel Los Pinos Ushuaia

... Went into town to a fabrication shop because we had lost one of the feet and needed a new one making. Got that sorted with no problem. We then went to the main car park to stop for a while whilst we went shopping along the main street, on our return we spotted a couple of British vehicles, one from Perth in Scotland and the other from Huddersfield in England. The Scots were at home so we had a quick word with them and both vehicles are moving to the same camp as us tonight. As a ...

... at them from the bottom, and then hiked up to the top to do the upper trail along the top of the falls. We took lots of pics, but no video since it was raining off and on and the video camera is not waterproof like the still camera. It was really really great. Afterwards Amy and I decided that this was probably the coolest and most spectacular thing we have seen on this trip. It beats out even Machu Picchu in our minds (and MP was awesome!)

We took the bus back starting Thursday ...

... along the way in bolivia or Peru.
We took a Boat trip out into the bay but unfortunately we didnt see penguins as it was out of season for them. We still got to see some sealions and seals and it was really good to relax after a day of hiking.
Had a great time in Ushuaia and would recommend it to anyone. On we went to get our bus at 5.30 am. An 18 hour journey lay ahead or so we tought! Bob Marley said his goodbyes to the Irish Brothers!

... least give it an alcoholic related name. I suppose a green one would be called the absinthe lake or some other green liquer.. I´m not sure why the green lake is green as they had no explantion but the black lake is black because the area is a turbal.. or in English (a peat bog).!Apparently 90% of all bogs in argentina are in Tierra Del Fuego. It eseentially sucks the life out of everything around killing all the ...

... surprisingly large, flat expanse - almost like a super-caldera. The forest was sparse - then we saw many dead trees. Fire? Disease? It was a bit hard to tell.

Eventually, it was time to turn around, so we would not exceed our 200km limit. We retraced our steps, still with a gorgeous view. On our return, we stopped at a "typical" Argentine restaurant - cabin-like, with a smoky aroma. We arrived at the same time as a busload of (Argentine) tourists, but the restaurant ...

El Fin del Mundo: beaucoup d'argent perdu à Ushuaia El Fin del Mundo: a lot of cash gone in Ushuaia ------------ Que j'étais bien à Punta Arenas... Si ce n'avais pas été l'envie d'aller voir ce que l'Argentine me réservait, j'y serais bien resté un peu plus. Mais c'est ça aussi le voyage, partir pour arriver dans un autre endroit! J'ai donc fait la route de Punta Arena à Ushuaia, une journée de bus et une traversée en ferry dans des paysages hors du commun. Une fois arrivé à Ushuaia c ...

... also were quite fascinating ... Since there was a great offer from our hostel for free entry to a club right on the other side of the street we planned to go there afterwards - being unable to move though that plan delayed for a couple of hours :) ... The club was very nice - although you have to get used to the way Argentinians go out (we didn't believe it when were told that the clubs are ...

HELLO Feb 8 830pm leaving Antarctica heading for the Drake 2 day passage back to the Ushuaia We had a nice afternoon at halfmoon bay, saw lots of chinstrap penguins, many more seals, I watched a couple of seals playing in a inlet sliding as the water surged thru the gap. The biologist on board found a new plant that had only been seen by less than 10 people in the world, Halfmoon bay was a very senic area, very rugged with lots of rock formations. we are starting into the ocean and ...

... thus the name of Tierra de Fuego. The border between the two countries in Patagonia is very intricate and from what we have been told, causes continue disputes and debates. Ushuaia is known as the last city on the South American continent. We heard Chilean arguing that this is not true, because their ******* (I can't remember the name) is the last, at which Argentineans reply offended, "Yeah, but it's only a town, where we have a whole city!" Regardless of ...

... to Santiago, where we will stay for 3 days before getting a coach across the Andes and into Mendoza ....... wine making country!!! Finally, forgot to mention something Lorraine said on the glacier the other day, and only the guys on Big Random will get this so I apologise for all the blank looks the rest of you will have........ On the glacier, in the freezing rain... Lorraine .... "I feel like Scott of the Antartic!" Oh how I chuckled!!!! Until next time, Adios Chico´s!
