Officially in South America, however I've only seen the inside of airport terminals and a brief taxi ride.
The weather here is hot, a steamy 28C when we landed and that's at 10pm in the evening, things will cool down tomorrow when we reach the southern most city in the world Ushuaia. The temperature further down south is much colder at 4C so jumpers will be going back on.
The taxi ride between airports was a white knuckle ride with 120km/ph on the speedo and only 4ft from the bumper in front, with crazy motorcyclists weaving in between cars with the smallest of gaps. Stuart and I have safely travelled some 8000miles and have been awake for 22hrs, we are feeling tired, ready for a sleep on our next flight which will take nearly 4hrs.
I have visited Argentina before, when I caught a flight to Punta Arenas on my backpacking travels to Chile, that was 20yrs ago but I still have vivid memories. It's good to be back and so close to my goal of standing on Antarctica.
One more flight and the scariest sea crossing to go!
Get a nice big full English inside you before setting sail. Bon voyage, safe journey and most of all have a riot.
