We missed the earthquake in Santiago by less than 14 hours. Lucky. It's been now two full days since we landed in Ushuaia. To be honest, it feels like we've been around for a couple of weeks, not because we're bored, but because days here are so long. Sun sets at around 10pm, and Argentineans start eating at that time.
During the daytime we've been exploring the local municipality. We've seen the ugly parts of Ushuaia and the nice ones. We know the bus routes, we know the shortcuts, I can confidently say we could be tour guides in this town.
As of right now we're staying at a Camping Hotel a few kilometers outside of town in a place called Rio Pipo. Yesterday, as you were able to see through Micho's post, we hiked up to the Martial Glacier (not a lot of glacier, mostly rocks). Before the hike, we spent some time around town and I bought a winter jacket (nobody told us it was going to be this cold in summer here). Finally, in the afternoon, we met up with the Compass group as they arrived to the hotel after 16 days of riding from Pucón (Chile).
