I love Ushuaia, it has a real buzz.

There are tourists everywhere. They are either just about to go or have just returned from their Antarctic cruise. Many of those that have returned said they have never seen so many animals together, hige colonies of penguins and birds.

One lady did say that the sea had been 'a bit rough'.

'What do you mean by a bit?' I asked.

'Well I thought it was very rough but the captain said it really didn't rate that highly.

'What happened?'

'Well, firstly the chair in my cabin fell over because the boat was rolling so much and secondly when I was in bed the whole of my head and upper body came off the matteress every time we fell off the top of a wave. It went on for seven hours.'
