USHUAIA, ARGENTINA

This morning we woke up in Ushuaia, our stop for the day. We had booked a bus tour to Tierra del Fuego Park. During the tour,we made stops at Lapataia bay on the Beagle Channel, Roca Lake and at the end of the world highway. This is the end of the highway what runs all the way up to Alaska. On our way back the bus dropped us off in town. The town made me think of Banff, a lot of outdoor stores for hiking, climbing and mountain biking. It is definitely a young people town. Lots of small restaurants, cafe’s and coffee places. After we had lunch, the best spinach pizza I ever eaten and some local beer. We strolled the town for the rest of the afternoon. The scenery in this town is stunning in every direction you look. the mountains are towering up right behind the town and snow capped mountain tops in every direction you look. We were so lucky with the weather here today ,15 deg C and clear sky’s. I talked to a fellow, he said this was his 4th time visiting but the first time he seen the sun here. When we sailed away, there was a stunning view of the town and mountains. This evening we watched the Super Bowl on the big screen in the theatre.

Cheers
