Today is Sunday………no bike dealers open at 9am…so I took a gamble and headed for Ushuaia with a balding rear tire……stopping to adjust the chain before leaving town. Wind was a factor for part of the day, rain for the last hour…..I had 202 k to cover and had that in by 2 pm….Scenery changed dramatically….real trees and mountains……why at the bottom of the country, I wonder……… even moss on the trunks and branches….like Georgia…. see the road upper right….. Just proof I made it………… Ushuaia…it is a fair size with a busy main drag…..found the Dublin Pub with the help of the Policia… It was closed…maybe as it is Sunday. The Port Tried to book hotels down town ….all full and at over 500 pesos per night. Time to eat….great pizza with a Cerveza
Found a camp ground and guess who is here, Antonio………………………site 60 pesos per night One mother of a camper……..shipped from Africa on a round the world trip….4x4……
Awesome !!!
