After a great hike up Cerro Banderas mountain, with view over the Beagle Channel and a fun night at the Puerto Williams Yacht Club, mingling with sailors from all over the world and hearing their stories, we then got a ferry (Zodiac type inflatable!) to cross the rough channel to Ushuaia. This is a big town with lots of tourists coming from cruise ships. The claim to be the town at the end of the world, but it really is Puerto Williams, being even further South, but in Chile. We found their is not much love lost between these two countries, as they would not exchange our Chilean Pesos here for Argentine $. But they are happy to take USdollars!!
We had fun touring the harbor, looking at boats and checking out the Argentine Navel museum.
Off to El Calafate tomorrow, catching a 10am flight. Well I finally managed to get a picture on. This the "Italia" glacier we passed by in our ferry boat, it was just breath taking! We saw at least 6-8 glaciers in a row !!
