Ushuaia

Today was a travel day. We spent the morning hanging around our hostel catching up on emails and took a 2pm flight to Ushuaia. It was only an hour flight. We arrived to a raining overcast city and hopped into a cab to our hostel. Ushuaia is the most southern city in the world. There are smaller towns further south but they still claim to be ‘El fin del mundo’ (end of the world). The town wasn’t exactly what we had expected. We had heard how touristy and expensive it was going to be but expected it to be a bit quainter. At first look, the town was a hodgepodge of different types of buildings in various needs of repair. The town has one main strip filled with restaurants and souvenir shops. The town would take a bit more time to get to know.

What was left of the day was spent exploring the town, getting groceries, making dinner and determining the activities to do over the next few days.Read more
