Dear All Yep, 2 blogs in as many days. However today was kinda amusing and as I recover from the walk I thought I'd do so by writing the blog and giving you my feelings about Ushuaia. I really like this place, not because it's the most beautiful place in the world, nor because it's Tierra Del Fuego or the end of the world (or as 1 local said given me in a kilt 'The Arse of the World'- she's seen Braveheart) but because of the people. I felt accepted and the peop...

Dear All Welcome from Ushuaia, in Tierra Del Fuego, officially the End of the World.

It is a stunningly beautiful place. Not unlike the wilds of Scotland actually, but with more glaciars and fabled names like the Magellan Straights and the Beagle Channel. These are but ...

Err no, not compared to Iguazu So, Los Cataratas de Iguazu have come and gone. The guid...

Well, it seems odd for me to think that I´ve only been away for some 2 weeks. It feels longer and yet no time at all. In 2 days school ends and my Spanish will be as is- time to really put it to the test. I´ve been busy trying to learn and the while school doesn´t fill me with joy, I am a lot better and getting more confident to speak. Okay, it´s not war & peace but it´s enough to generally get by so far. I am continually surprised a...

Okay, no school internet so a day later than planned an update on Bue. Apologies for my usual efficiency Do I like Bue? I guess yes. It's not simply the 35+ degee weather either as it can be very humid and sweaty out here. I've a photo which I can't add here of 'perfumeria Alan' which sounds like a rather good idea. It really is a big city but all you need to see is central. I walk everywhere and feel safe irrespective of the time. The city is really quite run...
