Yes that is what they say end of the world! The travel here went with no drama, met interesting people and I slept some. I left at 8 in the morning of the 11th November from Ventura and came to Ushuaia 2.30 local time the next day. Got to the Ushuaia hotel and checked in. Nice hotel with panoramic views.

From my room I can see both water and snow covered mountains. My body wanted to relax so I took a bath with lavender oil and contemplated my wonderful life! Rested I left for a walk. The hotel is located high up and the walk is down down down, lots of stairs and a feeling of being in back in Monaco, although somewhat more rustic! The buildings are very cute and original or very how can I say it without being rude, not taken cared off, maybe.

On my walk down to the main drag, I asked a young fellow where I could find an internet cafe, him not able to speak English and me not able to speak Spanish we played charades and had a good time doing that and then he showed me where to go! I could not post anything yesterday could not get into my account, silly me forgot my log in! Today though I got it and here you go , a little longer description about my adventures.

I am amazed how good I can handle this not being able to communicate as much as I want. It is a great lesson for me to practice being open although I am not always understood. Had dinner down town, fish of course and it was great. Walked back up up up up !

My Tee time is at 11. I had a taxi come to pick me up. It is raining, not just a little…a lot. However I am prepared.

The cab driver is great, in between us we can understand some and he likes to play golf too. The drive is about 10 minutes and it is still raining, well it then started to snow! Extreme it is.

I see a flag and a green and there it is Ushuaia golf course the most souther golf course in the world. I am exited!.

There are no cars, no human in sight….my mind goes back to North Cape where there where no person either, here though I had a confirmed tee time. The cab driver, Richard stays with me and we walk around and he took a couple of pictures of me.

No one to be found…

Then he says he can play with me in the afternoon. I gratefully say ‘thankyou’ . In my mind I pray that someone will be there then in the afternoon so I can rent the clubs they promised, since I left mine at home due to the quick trip down.

I am now at the internet cafe and it is 1 in the afternoon. You will get the report tomorrow!

I love the adventures and the not knowing that is exiting!

the saga continues…

I am packed!!!!! Well let’s rewrite that, for now I am packed. I have exact 8kg(18 pounds).Should be ok for a carry on.That is if they do not weigh my backpack where I have all my personal things like lipstick and mascara and…..you get the picture.Yes Yes I have packed my flip camera, did I officially say Thank you Tom for that gift,it is now said Thank-You, Tom. It has been and is such a great tool.My regular camera has gotten extra batteries and I am ready.
I will not take my computer with me,for sure there will be internet cafes and places where I can write to you guys. I will be in Ushuaia until Sunday (12th of November). Will land in La Paz Monday morning (17th of November)
Have read about best remedies for altitude sickness, and lucky me I still have some cocoa tea from Peru.
It is cold in Ushuaia so my long john, fleece, gloves,hat are packed. I am very proud of my self ,I have managed to back in a little carry on and the clothes color are black white and red!
The golf will be played in my red shoes and my glove and my balls and tees!
Its exiting to see what kind of clubs I get to rent and if I have to carry a HUGE bag, well that will keep me warm….always see the positive.
For now

bye Anna-Lena
