To Ushuaia, Argentina

Last night we enjoyed pisco sours with Joyant and Storm Bay at the bar at Micalvi. During the night the winds kicked up and we were not sure if we would be able to go to Ushuaia but it calmed some in the morning.

We walked into town and had our passports stamped and the boarded a van for the 35+ Kim drive to Navarino at the west end of the island. We met Kamil from
Poland who is spending his vacation hiking in Chile. At one point the van stopped, the driver opened the hood and steam was pouring out. The driver was prepared with several bottles of water to pour into the radiator. At another stop he went and checked on his mother. After a 2 hour ride we arrived. At Navarino we boarded a ridged inflatable dingy for a bumpy ride with whitecaps across the Beagle Channel to Ushuaia. Put on your life vest and hold on! We have a few days here before we board the cruise ship to Antarctica.
