Today we are off not quite to the end of the world but pretty much to the end of the Americas.
Ushuaia, Argentina.
We were hoping to catch a ferry to Puerto Williams, the community just across the Beagle Channel that Chile claims as the southern most town in the world.
All in the general neighbourhood.
We will for about eleven of our twelve hour journey pass through the vast barrens of the Patagonian desert.
Our relatively short ferry passage will officially deposit us in Tierra del Fuego.
Soon after we arrive at the Argentinean border.
Each passing day of our travels, and since I and we have begun travelling many years ago, reconfirms how forever grateful we are to live in and come from Canada,
except..........
when visiting Argentina.
Someone in Ottawa must have pissed somebody off here, as only Canadians and Australians must pay a one hundred buck "tourism fee" to enter.

This smiley face in the seat ahead of us kept popping up every one hundred kilometres or so.
Glad you did!
The world needs a little(a lot) more of this international language.

The last hour or so will see us pass through a rather significant mountain range that backdrops the city.
The range also makes this area an end of the world ski centre in the winter.
Welcome to Ushuaia, Argentina.
There have been some bus journeys that we questioned which stop to get off.
Not here.
