Well after quite a bit of travel, we have arrived in Ushuaia - the southern tip of South America.
Late Sunday afternoon we arrived in Buenos Aires and made our way to our hotel. Yesterday we did a walking city tour to orient ourselves with some of the city. It is a city of uneven sidewalks, many parks, and lovely historic buildings. We learned some interesting history, Kristin got a sunburn and we both got sore feet :)
We returned to the hotel to spend some time by the pool, and relax and repack our bags.
This morning we were up early to head to the airport for our flight to Ushuaia. We had heard many horrible things about how unpredictable these flights are, with last minute cancelations, schedule changes etc, but everything went very smoothly.
It is a sunny afternoon here in Ushuaia, between 8 - 10 degrees. Very lovely. Sort of like Skagway on a quiet day (but I haven't seen any diamond stores yet).
Tonight will be our last sleep on land for a while, and also with our own space. Onboard the ship we will be sharing a cabin with two other people.
Tomorrow we will start the embarkation process around 3pm, and then head off into the Beagle Channel.
Hopefully another update to follow soon!
