In Ushuaia

A fabulous day in Ushuaia. We started the day by going

to visitor information center where I was able to send an

email and text the kids (even though they were sleeping

as we are 4 hours ahead).

My information from previously investigating costs of

things to do here said that the double decker bus trips

cost $40US each but luckily it was only $10US each

and was a very worthwhile hour long trip around this

small city.

From there we walked to a fantastic museum that used

to be a prison. This museum is a hi-light location according

to Trip Advisor and was worth every peso it cost to get in.

This place started out as a penal colony housing the worst

of the worst (like Kingston in Canada or Alcatraz in the States).

There was short histories in the cells of some of the more

nefarious men.Yikes!!! Bad people!

Following the museum we headed downtown to have

a meal of seafood and King crab which is a speciality here.

Fantastic meal!

After a walk to the Falklands war memorial we headed

back to the ship.

Today several people missed the ship including two crew

who we saw running back but the ship had already left the dock.

Oops for them.

After two-three hours of sailing we entered a hi-lght part of

the Beagle channel with glaciers everywhere including one

that came right down to the ocean. Mile after mile of stunning

mountains covered in glaciers. OH WOW. There were many

people out taking photos (even though it was C-c-o-o-o-l out).

The weather was overcast except for a 10 minute stretch

where the sun shone; right when we were at the best

glacier.BONUS!!

With so many photo opportunities we just gave up taking any.

We watched the late show at the theatre and called it a night.
