We arrived in Ushuaia on Wednesday after a 5 hour flight of sleeping - catching up after no sleep in Buenos Aires!! Was a bit of a shock to the system turning up and it being in the minus degrees! But we had a great view so it took our mind off the temperature just a little..

We spent our first day here just walking around the town, and ended up bumping into two Irish guys we stayed with in Buenos Aires which was good, so we went for lunch with them. We then went back to the hostel, which is pretty quiet, and had a nap, then woke up and went back to the same restaurant for some pancakes and waffles which was gooooooood!!

The next day we thought we´d actually do something productive, so we got up quite early (about 11!) and went to the Glaciar Martial. We found out that the cable car was broke, which we werent too happy about!, so that meant we had to trek up to see it, but again, we had great scenery so it was all good! Every few minutes, there´d be a really big gust of wind which would literally push you down the hill or make you fall over though, so that held us back a bit! Or thats what we like to say made us take quite a while anyway.... We also did it in our trainery shoes, whereas everyone else did it in hiking boots! so everyone just laughed at us! We still made it though! Even if we had slightly wet feet... It took us about 3 hours to climb all the way to the top, and once we got there, like most things, it was worth it. The way back down was a lot easier though, as you can imagine!

Today was our last day here and as it was Good Friday, not a lot of places were open, so we couldnt book a boat tour so we decided to book our bus to El Calafate for tonight instead of tomorrow, and do one there. We wanted to see the penguins but unfortunately, we found out that there are only about 4 left in the whole of Ushuaia which is a bit crap! Its just another excuse to come back I suppose!! So dads, dont worry!

Its actually been quite nice to have a break and detox from all the alcohol and no sleep! Also getting some fresh air and exercise has done us some good!!

Thats about it from the southern most city in the world! Speak to you soon!
Miss you all lots!
