Preparing physically and psychologically to leave Ushuaia for Buenos Aires by plane this afternoon. Thank God by plane, otherwise it would be a rough more than 48 hours bus ride. Today the 200 years of anniversary of Argentina starts here in Ushuaia and a few huge sailing boats arrived to the port from all over the world to participate. This morning we will take a look at them and maybe also visit the prison museum here.
Yesterday we had a nice day hike in the Tierra del Fuego National Park. It resembled a Nordic forest in Europe. Finally we have seen the typical autumn mushrooms there which I missed so much in Torres del Paine. It was strange to have the many berries over there without the mushrooms. Here the landscape was not that awe inspiring as in Torres del Paine, but still was very nice. The highlight was to pass by a beaver colony. It was on a small creek and all the trees on the shore were chewed down by these creatures and they made small dams out of them on the creek. Unfortunately we did not see the beavers themselves. But we have seen quite many birds (Magellanic woodpecker, kelp goose, sea gulls, cormorants, skuas, chimango caracara, ringed kingfisher etc.) and Kaarel's favourites, the rabbits. Some of them were very tame and we fed one some apples.
We reached the southernmost point of our trip in the park there.
