Hosteria del Recodo Ushuaia

... around Ushuaia - basically a large area of water surrounded by mountains with a lot of islands in the middle. We took off from the port and traveled to several of the more interesting islands including one populated by sea lions, one populated by cormorants (sp?), one island with a old lighthouse on it, and another big island where we were able to hike around and get some great pictures. The boat was a small one and there were only 5 passengers plus the ...

... com o pessoal, descobri que a agua corrente de Ushuaia, apesar de ser amarelada como um cha de camomila, eh potavel e nao me fez mal mesmo. Tenho bebido direto da torneira agora sei que nao faz mal. O problema de tomar agua fora de "casa" eh que mesmo sendo potavel, devido a diferencas na composicao, pode causar transtornos gastricos.

Amanha vou a Tierra Mayor andar na neve e no treno com Huskies...

... running down. I boarded a bus, then a ferry leaving Uruguay but entering Buenos Aires (Good Wind) and the culture that awaits. Its hard to find fault in this city (as for being a city) except the greens on the golf course were under repair. But that did not stop me shooting a 40, 1 over on the back nine...front 9 didn't count. The doning of a supporters shirt and then the a football game at the infamous Boca Stadium home to ...

... around in various directions in a small overheated space. Leader Agustin rated the nights weather as a 7 on a scale of 1-10 and I couldn't help hoping we get a burst of 10 at some point, just to see how bad it can get! Day eight dawned and we had arrived in the vicinity of Half Moon Bay, our proposed landing site, but the winds were too high for the boat to approach: apparently little of the ...

... toch iets meer uit naar de Moslims. Op een gegeven moment zak ik dat een vrouwelijke zeeleeuwin naar mij kijken, ze keek me recht in de ogen aan, en dus maakte ik in mijn beste Zeelands dialect een hondenachtige brul naar haar. Fantastisch die reactie: ze rechte zich op en met een gigantische brul die door merg en been heen ging liet ze me weten dat ik op moest rotten en dat ze heerlijk met haar twee vriendinnen tegen hun vent aan lag te slapen ...

... 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 ...

3 Feb we are now in the convergen area, rough is the word to descibe it, but it could be alot worse, that was a rumor about the seat belts on the bed , just the top bunks only hsve them , we have lower bunks in our room, you use the hand rails to move about the ship. We ate a hearty breakfast and Susie is feeling better today, she dont like ...

January 25th The final day of riding to the Fin del Monde, everything I do today is deliberately intentional. My senses tuned and appreciative off all the familiarities of my machine and gear.The familiar click of the panniers as I latch and lock them to the motorcycle. The careful preride inspection, oiling the chain listening to the familiar tick, tick, tick as it rounds its sprocket. The zip of my jacket zipper. The opening of the choke and the gentle push of the ...

... clothing. How the Shackleton's, Mawson's and Hillary's of the past handled their expeditions in only wool, cotton and furs is testament to how time has softened our species. Here we are in the middle of summer, 2000km from the South Pole dressed up in the finest technical fabrics technology can afford and we have the nerve to comment on the weather! The worsening conditions however add to the feeling that we really are heading to the end of the world. Trees my dear ...

... elkaar staan) wonen welke zéér typisch zijn voor Patagonië. Lijkt ons wel heel eenzaam; zo hard werken in de middel of nowhere en in een guur klimaat. Ushuaia, wordt trouwens ookwel Vuurland genoemd. hebben de Spanjaarden bedacht. Schijnt dat zij vanaf hun boten een constante rooksluier over het land zagen hangen... Later toegevoegd; foto's van de reis naar Ushuaia!! Tot snel maar weer!! Annemarth en Lester
