Frenchy’s Fracas

So now it’s come to its final ending conclusion, closure-wise ;o)

Car-shot: highway toll booths..

Busy, busy, busy..

Just one of my fave pix

Big-ass flag

I have seen/experienced: beautiful cities, unbelievable whales, way too many penguins, not so friendly leopard seals, fantastic landscapes, incredible glaciers, friendly people, excellent wines, no seasickness, a lot of open sea, so much (blue) ice and icebergs, in short:

It’s official!

Here’s a passport stamp worth having ;o)

Well, the party is really coming to a close now.. Here are some pix of the ship that has helped us enjoy this excellent adventure, the Gregoriy Mikheev.

My favorite place on the ship - the smoking area on the 3rd deck!

Well, interesting flight to the city of Ushuaia. The drop in temperature was very, very noticable from 30 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees, brrrr…
But just the plane flying along the mountains was such an incredibly fantastic sight!
Really nice hotel, and in the evening I watched the final of the South American Cup football championship in the restaurant/bar with about 20 totally mad Boca Juniors fans. Good thing Juniors won after a penalty shoot out, coz these people were in agony and ecstasy during the whole match..
Next morning I went for a walk, finishing me final preparations for the boat trip.

Ushuaia Airport

Wha? Wait.. Huh?

I guess The Motorcycle Diaries movie had quite some impact on people..

Ushuaia Harbour

On board and ready to go

Yes! The adventure begins!!
