El Fin de Mundo

We finally made it to our final destination! The last outpost of civilization before Antarctica, Ushuaia, Argentina. Well technically speaking there is actually one more little town after Ushuaia but its in Chile and the only way to get there is either by boat, which comes and goes infrequently or by plane which costs $100 per person. So for all intents and purposes Ushuiai is the end of the road for us.

It's kind of unbelievable that we have reached our ultimate destination of this trip. It still hasn't really sunk in. Maybe because we still haven't gotten out of the town and explored some of the stunning scenery. It took us over 30 hrs of bus riding to reach Ushuiai from Puerto Madryn. We arrived at 9pm yesterday, but it was still as bright as day outside. Twilight was finally gracing the sky when we finished our dinner at midnight.

We decided to camp it out and make some good use of the tent Sam has been lugging around since Mexico. But of course its pouring cats and dogs now. At least we got the tent up before the rain started. Hopefully tomorrow we will get out and experience some of the gorgeous natural wonders that grace the so called "end of the world."
