Charlie has this fascination with the town of Ushuaia. It's claim to fame is that it is the southernmost city in the world. As we flew in the landscape looked unforgiving and desolate. The snow capped mountains of the Andes stood tall, seeming to warn it's visitors of the depth of the countryside and the intensity this region brings.

we are at the tip of the planet and still farther away from the south pole than barrow is to the north pole. though this city is touted as the southerly most city in the world, puerto williams, chile, just across the beagle channel is actually the most southerly. only it costs an arm and a leg to get there for some reason. coming into this town ...

This is Ushuaia - The end of the world. Arrived into Ushuia at 9 am, wrecked tired but glad that we made it here in one piece anyway. The flight from Buenos Aires was the longest of the three and took 3 and a half hours, unfortunately there was no in flight film and the food wasnīīt mighty, tut tut LAN Argentina!!!! However the scenery was speci...

Arrived in Ushuaia at 8pm, booked into Antarctica Hostel....nice :o) ...but a bit more expensive than the rest of Argentina. Most of the hostels have been between 18 and 25pesos (3 or 4GBP), but this one is 30 (5GBP). It's really clean and friendly and has free internet so happy to pay a bit more. Went to Dublin bar for a couple of drinks with s...

Go to the Summary Page ___________________________ First day in Ushuaia.... itīs bloody cold We walked around town, checked out the tourist information, visited the shops for warmer clothes and hiking shoes, went to travel agencies to look what was on offer. That took us most of the day in fact. The weather was... chaotic: beautiful sun, reveali...

From Los Angeles to Lima to Santiago to Buenos Aires to Rio Gallegos to Ushuaia...all in twenty eight hours! Getting to South Africa didnīt even feel this long! But here I am at the basement of the Cap Polonio Hotel (I canīt believe the name is almost exactly the same as my dadīs! I will check on the origin later today) at the beginning of what ...

What a roller coaster ride we have had for the last few days... We had originally toyed with the idea of maybe checking out going to the Antarctic when we got to Ushuaia. Ushuaia is the place to be if you are thinking about it as its a jump off point to get to Antarctica and here you can get cheap(er) cancellation deals which are more than half ...

Hey Peeps! I had to write an entry from here...it'll look cool on my map, I know I'm sad! I arrived into Ushuaia quite a bit later than I'd expected due to a two hour delay in Buenos Aires (it didn't want me to leave!), which meant that I didn't have as much time on Tuesday as I'd have liked. However, I did get a chance to have a fairly good loo...

Well Tierra del Fuego was to start with yet another bus tour but I and a few others opted out, some time on our own wa...
