... States for the same items. The food is still cheap though!<br><br>Tomorrow we are planning on taking a cruise around the channel. We were hoping to see some penguins but unfortunately they are not yet in season. Oh well. The cruise should still be fun, and cold!<br><br>We have also met a nice Portuguese couple staying at the same B&amp;B. They are traveling around Argentina as well. We have actually met and talked to a lot of different people ...

After catching a 5 hour flight to Ushuaia we were immediately hit with the Cold. I got off the plane with shorts on and flip flops to see snow topped mountains outside the Terminal. We stayed in a class hostel called Freestyle Hostel run by a bob Marley look alike. he was one cool dude and met us with a hug at reception. We immediately felt at home and as seems to be a theme to this trip ended up ine the Dublin Pub on the first night.<br>We took a ...

... peso to go up the lift, there is a walk for around 30 mins when you get to the top, you can either go to the glacier or you can do what I did and go over to the panoramic hill with a much better view of the town and bay. I saw more and better glaciers in Antarctica. After the chairlift I went into town and spent the afternoon walking through the old Gaol which has been converted into ...

... sometimes. :) Once at the end of the walk, while waiting for the bus a Japanese asked me to take a picture of himself. Tired and with cold hands, I dropped the camera, it fell straight on a rock and gave up the ghost on the spot. It was an accident, but as I try not to be a jerk I contributed to the cost of a new camera. Given the prices in Ushuaia, it set me back 500 Pesos Ar... :( So the next day I didn't do anything, I ate as little as possible and I didn't go on a boat trip on the ...

... for the next day and explained the hikes in the park. He was a fellow fisherman we discussed sea brown trout and catching the big one and Alaska. Went upstairs to drink wine. I got drunk again with Mallory &amp;Bryce along with Mike and Grant. Then went to play ******* holland version (twos are best card and 10's clear no socials). Went out to the irish pub. Had a dark beagle channel southern most microbrew?? Lunes 16/2/09 Woke up late 9:45 ...

we were able to watch game not looking good for Cardinals. We hear a rumor that the Drake is the roughest its been , we may have to put our seat belts in Bed!!!!!!!, actually only the upper bunks have seat belts, we had 2 lowers with no belts, we just slid back and forth in the beds.

... revs as we pull away. We travel 213 kilometers to Ushuaia, the grasslands change to pine forests barely hanging onto life as the bright green moss chokes the trees on every limb. The moss frozen in time as the constant prevailing wind forces them to hang sideways off the branches. The pine forest gives way to deep black mountains and the flat road begins to curve its way around the mountainside as we approach the city. A big grin on my face as we leave the last ...

... islands and the South Pole being your view to look out to. It is growing at the speed of a frontier town, with Antarctic tourism being the new oil. The main street is lined with shops selling all manner of technical outdoor clothing, being worn by a all manner of very nontechnical looking indoor people here on their "tick the box, saw the South Pole" Abercrombie & Kent level tours. The steep streets that lead down to the water have me thinking about car chase scenes from The ...

... wohl mit den vielen gesammelten Daten passiert. Wenn man sonst nichts zu tun hat :-). Danach geht es zügig weiter - wir wollen ja auch mal ankommen. Die Landschaft ist wunderschön. Der nächste Stopp ist der Route 3 Pass zum Lago Escondido (Aussichtspunkt). Die Strecke führt weiter ins Tal und kurz nach dem Lago Escondido führt die Straße (links ab) zum Lago Fagnano. Die Straße ist nicht asphaltiert - hoffentlich hält der Mietwagen das aus ...
