Ushuaia (by car!)
Wow! I can see why so many people want to visit Ushuaia. It´s marketed as the “city at the end of the world” and its in an incredibly beautiful setting with snowy peaks rising up around it in all directions. Photos don´t do it justice (well, mine dont anyway!), the scale of the peaks is quite overwhelming and the contrasting flatness of the Beagle Channel somehow adds to the power of the place. We had a great weekend, being tourists, looking around the shops, eating out, driving around and walking up towards the glacier behind the city. We also met up with Carlos again and met some friends of his and Monica & Marcelo´s. We briefly called in at the 2 kayak clubs in Ushuaia and met a few of the local paddlers. Now we are back in Rio Grande. We have had 12 days off paddling and tomorrow Barry will try having a paddle here to see how his wrist feels.

Fingers ultra-hyper crossed! I am knotting them! Please give us back some good super-good pieces of news…
We are cheering for you guys. I hope Barry’s wrist will recover sufficiently to allow him to paddle. I love the pictures. The picture of Barry in the yellow rain coat is hilarious. (First time comment, long time follower)
Wow! Ushuaia looks amazing and we love your photos, especially the one of Barry carrying that heavy lamp. That won’t do his wrist any good will it?. I’ve never noticed that he has such podgy fingers and little legs before.Barry, hope your trial run goes well for you and your wrist doesn’t trouble you at all.
All the best to you both,
lots of love.
