Ushuaia Day 3

This morning we disembarked, after trying to stuff ourselves as much as possible at the last breakfast buffet. I'll really miss being able to get fed easily, and have so many options.

We headed to the Albatross Hotel for a bit to get a start on looking at onward travel and catching up on notifications and admin that we missed while on the boat. I was devastated to learn that my Duolingo streak could not be saved with the lack of internet 😭.

After hanging out on the comfy couches, it was time to make our way to the hostel around 1200. After not having to carry heavy bags for almost 2 weeks, the 27 minute walk felt rough. We got there in the end without any complications though. The little place was definitely just where this woman lives and rents out the roo few rooms for an extra buck. It wasn't the cleanest, but after the shit hole that was the hostel in Easter Island, it was fine, and only for the night.

I tried to nap, unsuccessfully, so got up and started looking at our flights and destinations for the next half of the trip. It's not as straightforward as the first half, we knew that South America and Antarctica were the main locations, but after South America, things aren't as clear. We spent time looking at the flights we know we do need, and have some ideas.

We went for a walk in the late evening searching for somewhere cheap for dinner. It was not easy, and ended up being pretty late by the time we found something, a pizza place, and ate. I can't believe how normal it is for Argentinians to eat at like 10pm. Very different to western culture. Then, we went back to the hostel and did some more planning for the Sambadrome for Carnival. That took a while because of all the different options, and before we knew it, it was 1am. We booked our incredibly cheap flights to Australia and went to bed.Leggi altro
