Lennox Hotel Ushuaia

Is echt geweldig dit couch surfing. Zo grappig dat iemand gewoon een bed aanbied aan iemand die je uberhaupt niet kent en vervolgens ook gewoon de sleutel van haar huis geeft, je in de stad afzet en eten neerzet. Ik vraag me af of ik dat zelf ook zou doen. Gaat om de ervaring denk ik.<br>Ushuaia is heel mooi gelegen aan de baai van Ushuaia. We zijn vandaag op de boot een stuk het Beagle kanaal opgevaren. Was erg mooi, maar erg koud. Moet me ook echt inhouden niet ...

... Interessante que sao 5 pavilhoes e a maioria das celas foi convertida em pequenas salas de exposicao. Como o predio foi utilizado pela marinha argentina por algum tempo depois de fechada a prisao, algumas coisas foram alteradas mas muito do original premanece.<br><br>Tudo foi construido pelos proprios presos. As paredes de 80cm de espessura sao de pedras e argamassa, nada de tijolos. O piso das celas eh de madeira, paredes cinza claro e escuro ...

... and now I have to pay $50 more to get in the park without any mention of this in town when I paid the initial $50. It is typical South American culture so I play along. The park officer comes up to me and asks where are you from? I know that I can not get away with it. I look so different from a local and probably do the worst thing possible and act like I don't speak Spanish. She then asks in English and I act like I don't speak English. She then says where is he from to the driver? I ...

... she said, i will never be alone. I really injoyed her enthusiasme and joy de vive, but she also had a point. To finish off a already interresting day, we all went to are first SAABA room peraid. Now to make you understand what saaba is, i have to go back to the favaellas, How it goes, is each favella are sponcerd by huge conpanies, to help them suport there saaba act, and what i mean by that, is a closter of about 5 thousand ...

... what you would normally atempt to do in a week. We´ve got it all wrong! Yet at the same time the days seem that they have gone to fast and you know that the clock might be ticking before you will find yourself caught in the trap again. Now we´re off to see the Falklands anding base Rio Grande, before we head to see the penguin colonies and then spend three days camping in Torres Del Paine....bring it on....

... not produce the fine pelts we see in Canada so now they are just a nuisance. Our first obligatory stop was at the southern most post office in South America where we mailed a few cards (Dru, did you get your card?). We came prepared for the cold and were very soon taking off layers of clothing as the sun rose higher in the sky with the temperature following in kind. We stopped for a coffee (hot chocolate if truth be known) and pastry at a beautiful restaurant inside ...

... their natural habitat. I´m assuming they don´t have rabbits in Brazil either judging by the way the Brazilians were taking photos. I didn´t have the heart to tell them my brother and sister have one in a hutch in the back garden! I also went on a boat trip on the Beagle Channel, which I really enjoyed. We saw lots of seals on the rocky little islands in the channel; they didn´t do much apart from lounge around, and they smelled really bad, but they were cute to ...

... head wet. only the top inch is warm, now you must think were for sure crazy swimming in Antarctica. We are also going to half moon bay to see more penguins and possibly the only maccaroon penguin there, you know the one in Happy feet, which we saw the movie last n8ight in the lounge. they sometimes have movies at night, tomorrow is our last day than we began the ...

... is cheaper than renting them and the hostel in the park doesn't provide bedding. I am hoping to see some beavers and also climb one of the mountains. However our legs are killing from the trek yesterday so will have to play it by ear. There are so many great things to do here but the organised tours are so expensive. I would really like to do some climbing but it is over a 100 pounds and we just don't have the budget. It has also proved quite difficult to get ...
