We arrived in Ushuaia on the afternoon of the 19th. It had taken almost a week of driving, but, on arrival we were not dissapointed. If the dull pampas had bored us with her repetitive emptyness, Ushuaia excelled in beauty. The pampas had been flat, the road into Ushuaia was made up of mountain pass connected to mountain pass, passing glacial lakes and birch forest. As our truck trotted up the final pass we stopped for some photos, and no one really seemed to min...

I listned to my ipod read, looked out the window. My ipod ran out of battery. I slept then I read a bit. The lands...

Okay, hopefully this will be the first entry of many, but due to the fact that Southern Argentina and Chile dont have broadband yet, and taking into consideration that when I tried to upload the '1st blog' a few days ago, after about an hour of typing the computer decided to stop working when I tried to post, I think this may be a slightly harder process than previously thought. But here we go..... Buenos Aires 9th of March to the 13th of March We arrived in B...
