Ushuaia 24 Dec 2017

Had coffee at the back packers while our host gave us information on what to do and where to go. Her first advice was to hire a car. We walked down to information and got a map and car hire prices. They were really organized. We chose Tiger cars as they were cheapest and close. All their cheaper cars were taken so we took the pricier one and went to La Anonima for groceries before the shops closed for Xmas eave. Cheese, rolls, olives and chips (really expensive!), no pesto available, hair conditioner (I brought 2 shampoos by mistake), red wine and champagne. All set, we went to look for our yacht, Selma, and were relieved to find out she'd arrived an hour or two ago, no crew around though.  Is she red or orange?

Rushing before the shops closed we unsuccessfully looked for mits to go over our gloves (oops) but managed to get Roy some goggles.

Now to the glacier.

It was a long walk up but pretty.

Wet didn't make it all the way, but had a picnic, instead of energy bar, apples and water, we had cheese, biscuits and red wine.

Roy photographed some stupors on the way down.

A lot of the trees looked like bonsai trees.

A mountain called Roy..

Loved that these guys had their dog carrying a load (you can't see the dogs back pack in this pic, but it's hour a bag ppb each side).

Then we went back to our yacht and met the crew who had just arrived, all from Poland. 

They invited us for drinks later so we went looking for an open restaurant. The only one looked awful and was charging R700 for a set menu, so we had pasta at our hostel before heading back to the yacht club. Now to bed!
