Ushuaia, Argentina

Our next port of call was in Ushuaia, Argentina. Ushuaia is southernmost city in the world. We woke up to a beautiful sun shinny day. This first picture is of Ushuaia taken from the boat.


We took a city tour by bus which lasted about an hour. After the city tour we still had lots of time before our boat sailed. Chuck suggested since the weather was so nice we should go to the local airport and rent a plane to take us up for a view of the area. Here we are with our plane. Of course a pilot came with the plane.


Here is Chuck enjoying the view.


This is a picture of Ushuaia from the air. Our ship is the white blob in the middle of the picture.



We flew over the mountains and viewed the next valley. It was beautiful scenery.



Before we landed I asked the pilot to buzz our boat so that I could get a picture of it from the air.



After our adventure in the air we walked back to the ship. We had a wonderful day. It was our last stop in Argentina. I took this last picture from the boat deck before we sailed away.



The next day we enjoyed sailing through the Chilean Fjords. I will share those pictures with you next time.
