Journey to the End of the World

Math came to Ushuia ,in 2013 and its been on my go to list ever since
It is the southern most city in the world . It's known as the End of the World .From.here ,the ships set sail for the Antartic cruises
4 people on yesterday' s experience had just returned from.an Antartic cruise
So,a 5am start....and last min emergency research on the address we found last night
Googling Saen Pena ...it turns out there was a district in the Province of BA with this namw,so futrther out of the centre.This might be more conducive to the District 13 reference. On snap.decision,as time was short, i went with my gut instinct ,that this probably needed more investingation..before daahing off ....and to reconcile that if the building we found on Google maps is the one ,then i have stayed incredibly close for the past week
Relying on uber for the quick dash to the property we found and then on to the airport wasnt going to work ...Language barrier snd Uber's point to point system doesnt give much flexibility for a situation like this
So i said my goodbyes to.the Night receptionist ,who had been told by the evening receptionist that.we had found an address !...and headed for Jorge Newberry Domestic airport for the 3hr flight to Ushuia,the end of the world.
In looking for an argentinian travel.adaptor, i fell for purchasing an epic bag that has the strap to go over the handles of my cabin bag...Its expandable ,waterproof has usb charger and water bottle holder.
And , is also samsonite ,but i havent seen it.on Uk sites . Initially saw it in black and resisted but went round the other side of the display and dammit ,there it was in.yellow....I was sunk.!...I put my bag inside it ,bearing in mind my riding hat is in my backpack and it fitted perfectly ......🤦‍♀️🤣....That ! Was a very expensive charger....I do have multiple chsrgers but here is unique
On arrival,it felt like any thing but the end of the world....It was Busy !
I've realised thanks to a booklet from tourist info at the airport ,there' s far more to do here ,than the info available to me at home suggested or suggested by the Travel Local Travel agent....She is just that ...! Local ! And supposed to suggest stuff to do...I would have stayed longer ..its possible to Horse ride here and I wasnt told and didnt know
The scenery coming into land and driving to the hotel was beautiful....
The hotel has an amazing reception with Panoramic views of the harbour snd out to sea
It waz Unbelievably windy !
After a while in my room,I went into the centre in an Uber....Again it was busy!
I found a place to eat and ordered something with lamb.. When it arrived ,it was like dark brown ravioli .....i didnt really enjoy it but ate some...The Argentinians are great for giving bread with a meal so In made the most of that .
The travel agent told me to make sure I got a stamp to say id been to the end of the world.This is obtained in the Tourist Information office.Things seem to stay open till 8pm so i had quick walk along the pier and to the right place....I actually got a certificate which I stamped and dated
On my return to the hotel,i completed yesterday' s penguins watching the panoramic views in Reception,before acquirng a pot of tea from the hotel restaurant
I have now visited the Northern most tip of Europe ,Honninsvag in Norway and the Southern most City in the world ...These 2 places are about 9000km apart
They could not be more different
Honisvag feels like end ...but to me Ushuia doesn't ...as its so busyRead more
