Fin del Mundo - Take Two


'The Sign'

After a day off, internet, more washing, and most importantly, checking the weather reports, we head back to Ushuaia. If we're going to do the Trans American, we should at least start it properly.
It turns out that Ruta Tres (3), that we have been following pretty much all the way from Buenos Aires, actually finishes about another 20km or so past the city of Ushuaia, in the National Park. This is where 'The Sign' is.
Embarrassingly, we have to tell all of the people who are congratulating us on finishing the Trans Am, that we're in fact, only just starting it. Most people start in Alaska, hence the name of this blog, Trans Am Upside Down.
More photos, a quick look around the park, it's still cold, and it finally feels like the adventure has started.
To make the most out of our second visit to Ushuaia, we also embark on a tour cruise on the Beagle Channel. I suggest to all of you that if you ever get the chance, then get to Ushuaia and the National Park. It is stunning. But you could miss the Beagle Channel cruise if you wanted, especially if you don't cope so well with sea sickness - or the smell of sea lions.
