Southern Exposure

Ushuaia.

It´s just stopped snowing and we´ve gotten in 2 hours late at about 10:30 pm.

It´s about a seven block hike from this joke of a bus station to the Hostel but Ushuaia is a surprisingly big town. All that´s here is Antartic expeditions and tourism and two Irish pubs.

The Freestyle Hostel lives up to it´s reputation and provides a spectacular vista of the Harbour from it´s guest living room.

Navigation on the Beagle Channel yesterday. A little trek on a small uninhabited island, Thomas Bridge´s Island to be exact (oh yeah, I forgot to mention we crossed the Magellan straits on a ferry during the bus trip from Rio Gallegos to Rio Grande! = FUN!), the sea was as calm as anything.

Nothing like the Stewart Island catamaran from Invercargill, New Zealand.

So Sea lions, Fur Seals, Penguins and Comorants...

Wild life.

Just like the Ushuaia locals.

Had a night out, lost in translation style last night... Two Portugese, Two Argentinians, a Mexican and a guy from Ireland walk into a bar...

A recipe for disaster in any man´s language.

It´s snowing right now.

And we´re about to hop into a canoe in Tierra Del Fuego National Park.
