I've jst had a fabulous week down in Ushuaia. Had the best crew staying at the hostel I was at and we had an absolute blast every day. Mostly we just ate great food, there were a couple of girls there from Barcelona, Dany and Silvia who were amazing cooks staying with us, so every night they cooked us up some amazing dish that we'd never heard of before, then we'd stay up to all hours drinking red wine, dancing salsa and trying to teach me spanish, it was awesome. The other two main guys from our group were Micheal and Shawn from America, top blokes, and both of them pretty much spoke fluent spanish so with all they're powers combined I learn't a lot of new stuff. I'm getting there slowly but I definately need to cut my self off from the tourist world soon and study for a while.
We also had pretty good weather most of the time too so every now and then,(between meals) we'd go and stretch our legs in the Tierra Del Fuego national park or check out a museum or something. The national park was pretty cool, plenty of nice easy walks and some cool wildlife like eagles and beavers. One day we did a tour of the "Beagle Channel" on a big catermeran, and got to see some albatrosses, sealions, seals and some little penguin looking birds that apparently worn't penguins. it was nice. I didn't get to do any Dog-sledding though which was abit of a bummer, it was a bit early in the season so there wasn't enough snow. ahwell
Well we just met an Argentinian girl that might be driving up north tommorrow and is looking for some company so hopefully something works out there.

Our boat ride was in the afternoon and we got the best sunset coming back into Ushuaia.
