They really are sea lions Virginia!

It was a fairly early morning with a quick in room breakfast since we were to meet up with Canal Fun for hiking and kayaking in Tierra Del Fuego Nacional Park.

We first dropped off our laundry to a sleepy Alejandro (sorry!) and met our guides Virginia and Augustin along with our driver, JJ.

We drove back through Ushuaia (were I caught a quick glance of the fire house to be seen later) and westward to Tierra Del Fuego Nacional Park. Our first stop was at the southernmost post office in South America. In this one man post office, we got our passports stamped and sent off postcards and letters.

Carlitos brewing up a pot.

Map of the area.

Virginia explains the area.

Virginia pours some pumpkin soup. A nice treat on the hike.

Perfect for a picnic!

Good stuff even if there were giant gringo tuna sandwiches with hearts of palm.

Nice savory empenada.

Now that's true love right there!

Down the river we go.

There was a D110 with another expeditions company tailing our bus.

In this bay is where we encountered the sea lions. I have to upload the videos.

End of La Ruta 3. Alaska is only 17,000 kilometers away by road.

Appropriate tea.

The Team headed back to our cabins.

Cool Mitsu ute across the street.

New four door diesel Ranger.

Cool micro bus.

Another Defender.

Another recommendation for dinner.

The grill.

These grills were a prominent feature of many restaurants.

More excellent wine!

After dinner helado, Argentinean ice cream.

Mmm, mmm, good.

Cool Lat Long on the street signs in Ushuaia.

Next up: more of Ushuaia, the fire house and we're on a boat!
