The End of the World
Ahoyhoy and how are you both?
I am well and am in Ushuaia also known as the end of the world as it is the most southerly city in the world, only Antartica is left if you continue south! It was a good 12 hours in and out of the saddle yesterday to get from Rio Gallegos to here, across an estury by boat, two border crossings, several hours of unmade road and some more wind but we are here. Alas whilst pootling down the beautiful last of the Ruta 3 I noticed Sir Humphrey Bikelby bledding petrol all over the floor. Surprised by my own calm I turned one fuel tank off which reduced the flow and on pulling into our hostel for the night turning off the other stopped the flow all together so I am pleased to guess it is a leak around or in the crossover pipework so I am off to sort that now whilst my temporary travelling buddy Jean is off to see some penguins of his own.
A few things of note in Argentina = Pink Flloyd is still very popular as it should be, all petrol stations are attended and only take cash, there are lots of posters and car stickers claiming the Falklands belong to Argentina and all Argentinians I have met go out of their way to bring the subject up saying it is a political problem and there is no problem between our peoples.
Time to get greasy. I hope to check in later with some more pictures.
TTFN,
Tigger
