Ushuaia, Patagonia
Last night's Tango show was spectacular and Spirit is all set and ready for departure.
Air NZ managed to loose a bag on the flight to Auckland. It was found in time (on the next flight) but meant that we were at the back of a long slow queue for Aerolineas. So lot's of time standing and not even time for a beer before being bundled aboard for an 11 hour flight that is always a challenge to sleep on.
A short walking tour of the Recoletta area was enjoyed by all. Some were focussed on shoe and leather shops, others more attracted to antique tools, bars and pastry shops.
This trips Tango was at the Madero Tango. Stunning views across the marina and a superb floor show, but desultory service, tired seafood and inedibly tough steak. The Senior Tango is apparently the place to go.
Back to the Impala Hotel about 12:30am. While it felt like home,we were up at 6am for the flight to El fin del Munde (The end of the world) as this place is known.
It's 7 degrees C and raining - a contrast to the heat of BA. The yacht is looking well prepared for our trip (possibly because Darrel was expecting us yesterday). The current plan is to clear Customs and Imigration tonight, have a big Assado dinner and then head off at first light.
Hopefully Joy will post some photos later tonight.

I need to get in touch with Joy urgently. Is there anyway Joy can call me (+6421932402) or email me on davemoore@xtra.co.nz. Don't worry it is not life threatening and Joy and Bretts house is still standing. I need Joys signature for a trust doc that BNZ have dropped on me as part of a property deal. It needs to be signed by March 31st.
ReplyDeleteHope the trip is going well :-)
