I`m a slack writer, i know. i cant believe i havent written any stories since Buenos Aires and so much, so many Glaciers, hundreds of Kms of trekking and camping in the freezing cold has happened since. But again, i find myself inspired- perhaps the location, perhaps side winder stories can be attributed. Regardless...
With Antarctica nearly in view (a mere 1000 km)Ushuaia is very nearly the end of the earth. If you travel west on a boat, you get back here. If you travel east on a boat, you get back here... There is nothing but ocean anmd icebergs inbetween.. The town is spectacularly simple though caters well for the ritzy fat tourists heading to antarctica. Unfortunately, im not one of them... not this time.. but.. i am going on a cruise for 4 days in Chile in a week up through some fjords. Why not splash out on something a little different. 4 days of clean fingernails would be nice ;o)
