Argentina (Rio Gallegos, Tierra Del Fuego, Ushuaia)

Welcome to the slums of Puerto Gallegas
and the Edward Scissorhand high class neighborhoods
where I had to come to fix this (what happens to a cheap chinese sprocket after 5000k and a stretched chain)
The most excellent SM Moto Gang put me back in shape, only charging me double what it shoulda cost
and on the road South for the final stretch to Tierra Del Fuego
The ferry crossing to Tierra Del Fuego
Some Mexican and English bikers met enroute
and me
Welcome to Tierra Del Fuego, the end of the earth
Helping future travellers
Mossy trees slowly replace the everlasting windy plains
and just before reaching Ushuaia it turns back to mountains
Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world
a port town with some heavy industry
through the nacional park
to the very end of the road
there aint nothing further from here
Lapataia Bay - the southern most point of my tour
and one more shot before i turn back North
camped out in the park and back the next morning
for a better experience

from the mirador
back in Ushuaia
where I regretfully missed the last boat to Antarctica by only minutes
where to go from here?
anyways, it was a nice place to relax
a good mix of industry and tourism




where sailors from around the world dock on their way around the famous horn
an afternoon lift up to the local glacier
no where near as impressive as any of the others i have seen so far
but still a nice day



on my way back North after a week of rest



the rains begin
my lonesome cabana in Chile Chico
