We were due to depart our dear ship at 9am. Of course, it took more than an hour more to
say good-byes. Some people were heading
straight home, some staying one or more nights in Ushuaia, and others traveling
onward! We all scattered to our various
domiciles and planned to meet up later in the day.

I spent most of the day with Elisabeth and Heidi, shopping
and wandering through the small town of Ushuaia. We constantly met up with folks from our
trip. In the evening we met up at one of
the local bars then went out for an incredible bar-b-que dinner. It is nothing like anything in the States…
incredible! We all ate waaaay too much!

Then back to our rooms for the last night. Major travel home starts tomorrow.
Buenos noches.

Had a great shower (did not have to rock and roll with the
pitch of a ship!) and a wonderful night’s sleep. Got us this am for a nice leisurely breakfast
and met up with Heidi for a walk to and through town. It was clear and actually rather warm
weather! We walked by the marina,
surrounded by the snowcapped mountains.
Very beautiful. Stopped at a café
for some “hot milk with dark chocolate bar” (an awesome way to have hot
chocolate!) and some dessert. We were
definitely in sugar overload by the time we were finished!

Then it was time for final good-byes to her. I returned to the B&B for my bags, had a
taxi ride to the airport and was on my way home.
Met up with several more of our group at the airport in
Ushuaia, and again in Buenos Aires… but that was then end of it. We are all scattered to the wind once again.
There is no way to describe the bonding with these folks,
the immensity of the trip and the feelings of awe and wonder. You may just need to book a trip on the Bark
Europa and experience it firsthand.
Signing off,
