We are happy campers. Our luggage arrived this AM and we board in a few hours. Sunny, brisk, cold wind, white caps on the Beagel Channel. Most folks staying at this little hotel are going to Antarctica or have just returned. Ushuaia is THE srarting point for most cruises that go to Antarctica. Way more of an industry than we imagined. The town is dependant on tourism as you might imagine.
Spent some time this morning conversing with a couple from Austraila. They are going too. but on a different ship. Discussed politics, energy, cameras and more. They are happy Obama was elected. As they said about Bush and McCain, their time is over. It is time for younger leaders.
One man showed us his video of crossing Drake's passage when they encountered a wave so huge it knocked out the electricity for a short time. Here we go.
Took a walk in some outlying Ushuaia neighborhoods and have included some pictures.
From here out, we will have less internet access, so don't worry if the communication tapers off a bit.
Cheers.
