Los Notros Ushuaia

... to the south. It was also the shoulder season - it snowed often but it melted within a day - thus it was too warm to go skiing or husky sledding but too cold/wet for any trekking. And too early in the season to nose around for last minute trips to the antarctic. Thus there wasn`t much to do that interested me - there were boat trips on the channel, a museum and a tourist train...but, well, i didn`t do them. Perhaps ...

... assim mais abrigado do vento e da neve. Subi ateh que uma seta vermelha apontando para o chao indicava o fim da trilha. Nessa altura, percebi que era uma trilhar curta mesmo e que ja tinha as botas totalmente enterradas na neve. Muito fofa, estava na altura do inico da copa das arvores ao meu redor, dava para perceber que eu era o primeiro a passar por ali hoje, nao havia outras pegadas. Tirei umas fotos mas tive que parar porque o "olho ...

From early childhood, I remember my memories of twisting the globe around with my father.  I was fascinated by places such as the southern tip of South American and southern tip of South Africa. Like a normal young boy of 5 or 6, I assumed that the further south, the more hot it was.  Living in Florida, I said, "how hot is it down there?"  My father explained that it gets colder the further south you go below the equator.  This ...

... temperature on my trip as been in the region of 30 C, arriving in Ushuaia it was a balmy 12 but with the windchill felt about 0 or -5. And this is early Autumn. Madness Ted! Hopefuly the cold and hiking around should shock my body back into recovery from the last months exertions. Just outside the airport I was approached by Sebastian, a French guy, looking to share a taxi into the town. We both had the same ...

... le tango and the ocho and do a little dance.....while Rogier is 6´8" it was a little challenging at times it was muchos divertidos. Then it was time for late night drinks on the street int he warm night air..... But now I´ve moved on to Patagonia...if I hadn´t booked a plane ticket and organised a tour I think it would have been a lot harder to tear myself away. Though it was a relief to escape pretty weird Gustavo.... I´ve just ...

... that are at the moment capped with snow, our guide today tells us that this snow is not normally there so this is an added bonus we drive up a glacial cut valley which now has In the valley floor a peat bog area with the peat being up to 20m thick in areas, funny stuff to walk on its like walking on sponges. We drove through the mountains and reached our ...

... road ahead will be long and soul destroyingly dull. Driving along the roads, filling up at the gas stations and you can believe that car designers around the world simply dropped their sketchpads in 1964 and said their work was done. Argentina's roads outside of the capital are literally crawling with Citroen 2CV's, Indiana Jones Renault 4's and American pickups plucked straight from a Bruce Springsteen video clip. It's nice to share the roads with these characteristic ...

... een kaartje gekregen.. sorry!! Diverse wandeltochten waren er mogelijk, we hebben er dan ook zoveel mogelijk gedaan om van het uitizcht te kunnen genieten! Voor Lester zelfs genieten mét biertje!! Opzoek geweest naar Bevers in de bevercolonie én er zelfs een gespot!! Dit na langdurig zoeken weliswaar. Na 15min stil te hebben gezeten kwam hij zowaar 5 meter naast ons een plantje uit het gras rukken ...
