Ushuaia - End of the World
Entry 1 of 10 | show all | print this entry |
|
Here I go again starting another trip. I am in Ushuaia, Argentina, a former penal colony which has the distinction of being the southernmost city in the world. It is also the most frequent gateway for trips to Antarctica.
This is my third and final night here and I'm sitting in the lobby of the hotel at 10:30 in the evening looking out at the snowcapped mountains in the background of Ushuaia. I am filled with anticipation as tomorrow I embark on my 9 day trip to Antarctica. Since being here I've had the opportunity to talk to a few people who have just returned from the "White Continent". They have all raved about their experiences and have told me I will have a fantastic time --- "just bring some sea sickness medicine" they said. So along with all the cold weather clothing I have packed I stopped into a pharmacy today to get just that. This will be it for a while as I'll be out of reach, so check back in about 10 days for loads of pictures of icebergs, glaciers, penguins, sea lions, and some whales amongst other things.
