Ushuaia

We made it to the bottom.

The final stretch was particularly grueling -- 100 hours on a bus without stopping to spend the night anywhere just transfers, bus terminals and one nice walk through downtown Buenos Aires.

The final stretch all started in La Paz. We drove out of the smog encapsulated city at 7pm on an 18 hour overnight bus that we hoped would have a bathroom. It didn´t.

From the border we took a 36 hour bus to Buenos Aires, and from Buenos Aires a 36 hour bus to Rio Gallegos, which ended up being 3 hours late. Only by a stroke of good luck(well just enough good luck to level out the bad luck of the original bus being late) the bus to Ushuaia was also late and arrived shortly after our bus did. From Rio it was only a short 12 - 14 hour bus ride to Ushuaia.

Ushuaia was gorgeous. Not a lot else to say. We mostly wandered around eating, drinking and doing the touristy shopping thing.
Now I´m back in Buenos aires and will fly back home shortly.
