Hosteria Mustapic Ushuaia

... like it here and I like my roomies.<br><br>I take an extra day to get well and relax. My Irish friends Nicky and Stefan want to see some huskies so we venture out to the mountains. We find the huskies they are no longer running them because of the lack of snow so we take pictures, no petting. They look so sad which disturbs me a little. What can you do? From there we head for a quick "empanada stop" which turns ...

... island with lakes and fishing villages, cheap dentists (thank god), amazing bars and clubs blessed with Brazilian women, stunning beaches blessed with great surf but, also with severe rips that would placed me in the situation of having to rescue 2 girls before the were turned into human shish kebabs by being screwed onto muscle ravaged rocks. All in a days work but with gammy shoulders as I this was closer to a messy ...

... penguins, which sparked my excitement for a second. I don´t know why I was more eager to see penguins in the wild then any other bird I hadn`t see before.. I guess I just like them. On the next rock we saw seals and sea lions. You can actually smell the sea lions before you see them. They were all huddled together hiding from the wind on the sheltered side while the seals were swimming and jumping around the boat ...

... Sol and a 3 week old baby. Their home was designed by Gustavo and built by a friend of his. It is basically a remodel with the kitchen and one bedroom left from the original home. Our snack is empanadas, brownies, lemon bars, tea and coffee. I had another chance to try the traditional Argentine drink, Matte. It is a somewhat bitter tea-like drink made from herbs grown in northern Argentina.

... on the lake and the stones on the ground, and I know we were less than 1000 feet above ground level. I guess with so little air traffic, they do not enforce the minimum 1000 feet AGL rules here. Once we took off from El Calafate, the flight to Ushuaia took about an hour. The sky was overcast, but it cleared up just before Ushuaia, and we were rewarded with a panoramic view of snow capped mountain peaks on barren land. It was ...

Today was a wonderful day... We woke up around 9:30, showered, ate breakfast, then caught the 11am bus to Tierra del Fuego national park. So many people from our hostel came too. We set off on a 3 hour hike with everyone and had such a blast getting to know them.. very interesting people with lots of stories to tell and knowledge to share. The park was beautiful and ...

... constant presence of wind that would send me nuts in a week. It tells you something about the Pinochet regime that this guy chose to live in this rather than face what was going on at home. Like those 70 year old Japanese warriors found in the Burmese jungle in the 1980's, someone should do the decent thing and tell him it's safe to go back now. The World's Fastest Indian is our movie to take us into the late afternoon, where, unlike Burt Munro, we mould ourselves to machines ...

... and then collapsing under it´s own weight about once every four years. lindsey was able to determine using dubious methods that we were within a week of a grand collape, but we figured it would be a bit difficult to justify spending 24/7 on glacir watch to see some ice fall down.... still we happlily spent hours munching ubiquitous ham and cheese sandwiches (here known as J&amp;Q) and watching small ...
