View through the windscreen, in the camp site. Today we get ready for a few days holiday…:) Won’t that be nice. We haven’t had a holiday for at least 3 months..;) Making sure we have everything that we need, packed. Phone and computer chargers and adaptors, camera and charger…toothbrush…etc.. As…
Museum of the end of the World Another route march into town this morning. It was a chilly, cloudy day, trying to rain as we walked into Ushuaia centre. Our first stop was the Museum of the end of the World. Telling Tierra del Fuego’s cultural and natural history. Signage…
A day of achievement..:) Well, on a very minor scale. Underachievement would be a better description. We both got haircuts. Another walk to town. We decide to walk instead of uncoupling the Caranex. Mmm, the legs are complaining just a little bit, but that has to be a good sign?…
It is quite nice to be in one place for a few days. We didn’t have to rush to get up and on the road. We spent the morning tidying up and doing some minor repairs and maintenance around Poki. After our usual cheese and tomato rolls for lunch, we…
Our camp last night was very basic, but despite the rain coming just after erecting the Caranex, it didn’t last long and like the wind, stayed away all night. We both slept well. As there was not too far to drive today, we left the camp at 11.30am. The countryside…
We had a good night’s sleep, but in the morning the wind returned with a vengeance. Our camping spot wasn’t very sheltered and the Caranex was flapping like a mad thing. Fortunately, it seems to stand up reasonably well to wind. Better than can be said for rain. Heading for…
Another day of borders. A Mirage fighter of the Argentinian Air Force. Probably of Falklands vintage? Despite Jen’s fears, we had a night uninterrupted by visitors, once we had established approval to camp in the sprawling soccer field complex. Our hosts were quite accepting of our presence, once they had…
Monte Leon National Park Pleasingly the day dawned sunny. We’ll be able to go to the penguin colony after all. While Dennis started taking down the tent, I walked to the one toilet, only to find our camping neighbour using the sink to wash up his breakfast cooking utensils. Last…
It’s time to move on. We have had an enjoyable, if not terribly productive rest day. I’d be quite happy to stay another day but Jen is anxious in case we don’t have time to get to Ushuaia in time, despite it being a two day drive and having 8…
We didn’t rush to get up, as today is a non-driving day. Our number one task is to get the laundry done. My wardrobe is exhausted. Dennis has more clothes than me, although he will deny it, but our bedding, towels etc are all in need of washing. We can’t…
