End of the World


We are at the end of the world!


Today we docked in Ushuaia, Argentina after the most amazing sunrise. Initially there was some problem leaving the ship as there were a few protestors claiming The Falklands were Argentinian and as we had been there we shouldn’t be allowed to dock. They set a few wheels on fire but there was such a police presence that  it just meant a delay.


This is the most southerly city on the planet and somehow again we managed to bring, for this part of the world, excellent weather!

We were on a trip into the national park and boarded a narrow gauge railway built by convicts in the 1930’s.


It was very pleasant winding our way through the valley and woods with magnificent views on both sides.



A coach then brought us back to the ship and we walked around the town which was very pleasant.
