We
wake up at dawn, driven by an inexplicable
energy. The team and new nomads
leave the chalet as the sun lights up the
southern sky. Still half-awake, we
eat a healthy breakfast and methodically
stuff ourselves with hot chocolate and toast
plastered with 'dulce de leche' (a local
butter-scotch spread): this should give us the
sufficient energy to face what will be a
very demanding day, fighting with the
elements. Ushuaia is certainly very strange...
being at the sea-side and the mountains all in
once... is this possible ? First
things first... As
you certainly know by now... we've been
having several technical problems and haven't
been able to access you the results of your
votes.... but at last the pages blinks at us
and we discover that you have decided to send
us: (1) bathing in the so very cold
water (should have known better) and, (2) on a
expedition to find the lighthouse situated at
the end of the world. Once
again, you have been quite tough with us
but as always, we shall execute
your very wishes and even maybe some of those
you chose to ignore ! Mission
1: we head off to the breathtaking National
Park of la tierra del fuego and as always we
have recorded this amazing event: check out
the video (click on the photo 1). Mission
2: we explore the Beagle Channel on a old boat
christened " The Barracuda" and
manage to get to close to the famous red and
white lighthouse... which has the heavy task
of keeping all visiting ships safe and sound.
Theo
is in great pain: he has lost a filling... just
a week after Maya (is this a coincidence or
what ?).
Tomorrow,
we will be meeting up with the famous anthropologist,
Pr. Ernesto Piana and later on in the day with
Hernan, a famous husky breeder.
Stay
tuned, Virtual!
