The Missed Bus!My Bus was at 12 so I spent ALL morning sitting in the hostel putting the last few blogs and pics on, knowing I had loads of time. Half way through the morning a guy came in and said is it 9am or 10am? Neither I said, it's 930! We laughed about how his phone had managed to change time somehow and then thought nothing else of it. At 1130, I packed my stuff up to start making my way to the bus station 10 mins away. looked at the clock and it sai...

Ushuaia OH MY GOD my whole bottom lip is COVERED with cold sores! About 10 of them. Ouch!! I went straight to a pharmacy, made a sad face and pointed to my lip. The 2 women grimaced simultaneously before giving me cream and pills. The rest of the day I was in pain, and miserable.Ushuaia is a big town. The weather is weird. Despite it being the most Southern big town, in the sun and with no wind it's actually quite warm. So the jacket comes off. Then the ...

Long Bus Ride From Puerto Natales to Ushuaia (which turned out to be quite short) Bus from Puerto Natales to Ushuaia. No bed. No luxury. Just a bog standard bus. Reclined a bit tho.

Both of them being so close!), oh and a wee extra ferry ride, we arrived at what Ushuaia claims to be the "End of the World". I found my hostel,...

Perito Moreno Glacier Oh My God. I think I may just let you look at the photos. There's nothing I can say really. Need to say tho, we got to the view point, then got on the boat, then walked for 2 hours, then got to the glacier where we donned our crampons, then walked across the glacier for 3 hours. Then back. If you've seen on google, pics of blue caves etc, there were none. I asked the guide. It's the wrong time of year. He says the glacier changes ev...

El Calafate Porito Moreno Glacier. The next big box ticker! The 20 hour bus ride to El Calafate was at 5pm last night. I was told it's a bed bus. Like the one I've had before. Completely flat. But it was not. And the next 20 hours were horrible. I'm stiff and sore all over. My hostel is a campsite. I had to go OUTSIDE in the freezing cold to the shower block, a typical campsite shower block, cold and dirty, for a shower. My room that I'm sharing with 3...
