Ushuaia, 0 miles
We woke up with our legs and arms entangled in each other so close and tight, trying to keep and share whatever heat we had in our sleeping bag. It was cold, but not cold enough to get us out of bed early, we slept in until about 10AM, which for around here, where the sun never quite goes away at all through the night, it was rather late.
It is so nice that our campground has a huge and warm communal area to sit in as well as cook. We had our showers and headed to the kitchen. We bought a bunch of groceries the day before, so enjoyed some hot oatmeal (thanks mom!), cereal and tea. After a long drawn out breakfast we sat around the table and watched the rain come down…looked like we weren’t going to get much time outside today, I didn’t mind too much because relaxing and reading a book sounded perfect.
Mike took Yosh down into town to try and purchase the ferry tickets and I enjoyed some more tea and reading. Success! We have tickets for the ferry which will take us and Yosh from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt! It’s not only going to be amazing to see such an isolated and beautiful region of Chile, but skipping some repeat roads we already did is another bonus for our journey up!
It was pretty much, hang around and eat day, soon after we finished up our breakfast we made lunch. Toasted tomato cheese and salami sandwiches. It was so nice having the kitchen facility to make our own food. Mike and I get so sick of eating out all the time. Just making something simple is very missed.
Since we made it to the bottom of the road, we thought a celebration dinner was in order while we were in Ushuaia. Although we were hoping to enjoy some of the often sited King Crab, after realizing the price was about 3 times as much as a steak or anything else on the menu, we stuck with fish and steak, and left the King Crab option for the many tourists just off the cruise ship.
We had a great dinner overlooking the bay and saying our thanks to each other and Yosh for taking us safely this far. I remember looking at the atlas before we left on our trip and being amazing at the fact that we would even attempted riding our bike such a distance. Here we are, in Ushuaia after riding every single mile on Yosh from our house just about 3.5 months ago. It’s a long way home!
Our ride back to the campsite was cold and only seemed to be getting colder as the night went on. Lots of rain and the mountains were slowly being dusted with more snow. It’s going to be a cold one tonight! What a way to break us back into camping! Freezing our butts off!
The snowline is getting lower...
