La Posada Ushuaia

... vrijdag stappen met een kennis van Julia en zijn huisgenootjes en die vertelde dat hij er heen ging. We zijn eerst in Palermo naar een tent gegaan, die een super leuk dak terras had en daarna naar een Club, waar de muziek zo slecht was dat ik dat niet zo lang volgehouden heb. Bij slechte muziek stort ik zo snel in. Na ja we waren al met al om half 5 thuis. Julia moest om 7 uur haar bus naar Santiago halen, want die zou de volgende dag weer terug naar Duitsland ...

<br>Oi pessoal, espero que todos estejam bem. Hoje fui ao Glaciar Martial que fica pertinho, somente 7Km de Ushuaia. Soh para ajudar a entender, a Wikipedia define glaciar como:<br><br>"uma grande e espessa massa de gelo formada em camadas sucessivas de neve compactada e recristalizada,<br>de várias épocas, em regiões onde a acumulação de neve é superior ao degelo. É dotada de movimento e se desloca lentamente, em razão da gravidade, relevo ...

... about where I am on the map. I feel so lucky unable to really understand how many things had to happen for this trip to become a realty. I made it down and I am living a dream that I will never ever regret and will always remember the rest of my life. l continue my run and hit a trailhead that says Do Not Enter after 12PM noon. It is 4PM and I really want to check it out. I decide to err on the safe and continue along the lake. The vegetation is so different. I can't remember what if ...

... them as a glamourous catamaran edged towards the island and stopped while people swarmed to one side of the boat and had to snap away at the penguins from a distance. It was bloody cold though. We were just in time to see the penguins before they migrated either back to Antarctica or further up the Argentinian coast. We left Ushaia and travelled on to El Calafate with 3 others we had met in our hostel on our most random bus journey yet...

... for that day was not in fact booked for that day at all but for the day after and we were stuck at the end of the world for another day. I am glad I went to see the place but Ushuaia itself isn´t much to rave about. There is a certain bleak isolated feel about the place but the town is set up for rich people cruisng to Antarctica and it is expensive and has lots of shop that backpackers like myself would never go in for fear of breaking something and having to ...

... s only park with an ocean shoreline. If borders with Chile to the West and the Beagle Channel to the South. With an area of 63,000 hectares, this National Park is situated in the southwestern area of Tierra del Fuego, along the international border with Chile. It has a typical glacial landscape, with a mountainous area and deep valleys, rivers and lakes, ranging from ...

Well the trip to the Antaqrtic is over and we are back at the end of the world. Its a strange little place, its a waiting town. Everyone is waiting for some thing, a trip to the antartic, a flight back to normality or a ship to sail round the world. Nothing really happens in this town. Very senic, great views and fantastic natinal parks.

... cost anywhere from double that to 10 times that amount... i know, it wasn´t in our budget. instead, we met a lot of people who did check out the great white continent and heard some pretty cool tales about the place. Ushuaia itself is nice city. located along the beagle channel (which leads to antarctica) it sitting surrounded by snow capped mountains in all directions as far as the eye can see. also, the terrain here is as far from ...

... and Yaakov. There were very nice and the only other English-speaking people on the tour. It always strikes me as poetic when we meet people from half a world away while traveling at the opposite end of the planet. Americans and Slovenian finding common ground through the English language at the southern tip of South America! Who would have thought??? It was a fabulous day. Enjoy the photos, and thanks for reading our blog!

... die Route 3 von Ushuaia aus zu erreichen. Es gibt sehr schöne, nicht viele, Trekking Pfade im unteren Teil des Parks. Leider waren wir mit einer größeren Gruppe unterwegs und hatten somit nicht die Gelegenheit die wenigen Trekking Pfade im Park zu erkunden. Es war aber auf jedenfall eine beeindruckende Erfahrung die unterschiedliche Vegetation kennenzulernen.  Wir beschlossen darauf hin ein Auto zu mieten und weitere Ausflüge auf Feuerland zu unternehmen. Bis später... Barbara &amp; Ulf
