Ushuaia - End of the World
Ushuaia was the perfect way to see in the New Year. The "End of the World" for the "End of the Year." It was a random night including some traditional Lithuanian folk dancing, drinks on the beach with some Brazilians and kittens running around the bar at 4am while the sun was high in the sky! Looking forward to what 2007 will bring.
Tierra Del Fuego - The Land of Fire
To shake off our New Year's hangovers we took off on a 3 day hike through Tierra del Fuego National Park. It was fabulous with incredibly beautiful scenery- just when you think you`ve seen enough mountains and glaciers. But this one skirted the ocean too, which was a new experience for us. The weather came in really bad on our 2nd night and we were camped out in the open. We got smashed by Patagonian wind and snow and rain and woke up warm and dry with our tent covered in snow. But it was a ridiculously beautiful spot with forest below us and waterfalls cascading down green cliffs across from us. And then a view through a tight valley to the ocean. Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego are one of our favourite places we`ve been too.

hey joel, paul bell here, of going bush cameraman fame. just got your blog page link from jen, as it happens i am on my way to ushauia in mid feb, for departure to antartica for job. wanted to try and access some of the area when i get back early march, so am inspired by your adventures, can you give any more details on the park and how easy it is to get around, would love to do a 2-3 day walk, but not really rigged up with the gear and by myself. but could do a tour, not normally a fan of them but may be only option, let me know what you think anyway, have also a couple of days in buenos aires too, so any clues as to what to do would be great. i presume you will not be around still by then, or we could catch up for an aussie lager. where do you go to next......pbell@westnet.com.au
