Los Acebos Ushuaia

... sfeer!<br>- shoppen en daar ga ik zo verder mee, want dat is een leuke bezigheid met dit rotweer ;-)<br><br>We hebben overigens weer gecouchsurfed hier, maar ben vandaag ingechecked in The Ritz .... (het hostel haha) en dat voelt een stuk beter. We waren een beetje bij een alternatief meisje in een heel klein en donker 1 kamer appartementje. Ze was erg aardig, maar het was een beetje ongemakkelijk allemaal.<br><br>Nou ik ga weer op pad! Dikke kussen!<br><br><br><br>

... um plano soh. Pra quem estava em esquis ou pranchas de snowboard estava otimo, mas minhas botas nao sao boas para o gelo. Como todo teleferico, as cadeirinhas nao param e eu nao queria cair com minha mochila e bastao de caminhada para atrapalhar.<br><br>Passei uns bons minutos avaliando a situacao. Tambem nao sabia como estava lah em cima da montanha. Me sentindo bobo, comprei o ingresso por AR$ 30,00 e fui... Apesar do gelo no chao ...

... nice guy. He tells me that he plans on reporting his car stolen in Argentina and selling it to someone in Uruguay rather than paying to ship it back. Nothing surprises me anymore, but this guy, although nice, concerns me for some reason. Probably good that we don't meet up with him. <br><br>I think about how great of a place Ushuaia is. Perhaps each of my trip keeps getting better as I travel on, but I wonder if I will think the same when when I look back on this. I think about Kristin ...

So I can saw i have been to the most southern city in the world, but that is not the only reason why i came here, I came to try and get a last minute ticket to Antartica - how cool would have that been!!!!. However we were a week too late, as the season is now over. Ushuaia So what have i been up to here i wentto on a cool little boat trip where we criuse along the beagle channel. We get up close ...

Week 21 March 23rd - 28th Monday, Grand Slam Saturday seems like a distant memory even though it was less then 48 hours ago. It still hasn`t sunk in yet! OK I`ll shutup now and push on here with the blog. Well as you would have seen I had a "holiday" in the middle of my trip, partying away in Rio and Buenos Aires and relaxing in Ilha Grande. Well now it was time to start seeing some of the sights again and make the ...

... all also be fondly recollected. I´ve also been fortunate to meet some really cool people who I hope I haen´t seen the last of.... I´ve also learnt about the Madres de Plaza Mayo, the mothers and grandmothers who want Argentina to remeber their sons and daughters which went missing in the dicatorship of 1978 to 1983. I´ll do a seperate entry on them later. My last night was definitely one to remember. With my second gorgeous steak ...

... minutes you stop 10 minutes into the trip to get of and takes in the fabulous view of the valley. The rest of the trip is very slow by design so that you can easily take photos from the moving train. Once at the other end the bus meets up with you again and you continue into the national park this is something else as the view are ones that we do not have anything like in Australia, the mountain peaks with the lakes and snow in the distance makes for ...

... is really special. with incredible forests full of trees where leafless branches go in every which direction to lakes and lakes, this area gives you the feeling that you are indeed at the end of the world. we first hike along the beagle channel before heading inland to lakes and more lush vegetation. that´s where we actually got to see a couple fuegian foxes.... when hiking, animal life is always a plus! now, let me explain the name ...

... last litres of petrol from our 30 litre tanks, we have pressurised them by breathing into the top hose and sealing it off with a simple tap valve. But 100 km down Ruta 3 my bike cuts out, with Pierpaolo's following suit 30 minutes later. It makes for exciting overtaking but on balance is not a good start to our big adventure. Pierpaolo eventually overrides my half baked engineering advice from the web and, shock, lets the tank breather tube actually breath! Sure enough this ...

... veroorzaakten, zijn in de jaren daarna door de kolonisten compleet uitgeroeid. Schijnt dat er in deze regio zijn vele schepen zijn vergaan, die men vaak niet meer, of amper heeft kunnen traceren. tevens laten ze ook schepen gewoon stranden en laten ze die dan 'vergaan' zie foto.. Gelukkig was het de dag erop een stuk beter; het zonnetje scheen en de stad leek wel tot leven te komen :) Vandaag ...
