A detour, stars, and another night aboard a bus...
So yesterday we solved our dilemma on how to get to the tip of Argentina...basically we had to cough up a bunch of money to get flights to the southern most city on the South American continent, Ushuaia.
The prices were outrageous if we wanted to fly down in the next few days so we pushed it out till Saturday. We hope that the state parks in this part of the Patagonia are still open. We came to understand that it will not be possible to get to Antarctica since the passageways are already iced over. Major bummer because we were so close...basically we should have started our trip from down there and made our way up the continent, you see winter is starting in that part of the world so everything closes down for the season. If we are lucky we'll get another 2-3 weeks of decent weather and we'll be able to see some glaciers and things down in the Argentine Patagonia. From there we will make our way back up the continent by bus hopefully seeing both Argentina and Chile as we make our way to Bolivia and the desert salts flats.
On a bus again and this time we are going straight to Iguazu Falls. Last night we took a detour to a secret place. All we will say is that it was spectacular and the stars were brighter than we have ever seen. You could actually see the elliptical shape of the Milky Way galaxy. Absolutely amazing.
We should be arriving to Iguazu Falls at about 7 AM, so we'll be saving another night of hotels! We've logged thousands of kilometers on these buses, our necks are killing us!
I'll be on the Internet down there for a while, so we'll try to do a LIVE.
Like a dumbass, I left my taxes for last minute so now I need to efile them tomorrow...anybody want to do them for me??!!
