Ushuaia, Argentina

After a long bus ride from Punt Arenas, Chile, we arrived in Uhsuaia, Argentina. We checked in a hostel that was hactic with young argentinian indoor footballers. They shook the whole place. Too much going on even before getting used to the new currency. We were lucky to meet Albert from Catalan. He said he comes from Barcelona, but his name is not Manuel. Being clever but not a wizard, he gave us a lot of good tips to survive in super expensive Ushuaia.

Next day, we moved to another hostel called freestyle. The place was much better but there was another group of footballers. It seemed like footballers booked out the whole city. After moving to a new place, we found out our camera and Youngmi's credit card are missing. We were too naive not puttung our bags in a locked storage while staying in 6bed dorm. Lucky we brought a spare camera and credit card. To get a certificate for insurance claim, we visited 4 police stations. They could not speak in english, so they sent us to other police stations. We finally got a certificate. We should keep it as a souvenier.

While staying in Ushuaia, checked excursions to antarctica. We decided not to go for it this time. We met many people we met on the ferry to puetro natales. Later Alice and Thorsten joined us to the same hostel. We had a walk to glacier martial. A delightful street dog guided us all the way to the summit. She was like a gypsi, so called her as Natasia. Later we were amazed to meet a couple in El Calafate showing photos of the dog they met in Ushuaia.
