Costs 22gbp research shows.

For the same 600k journey, no additional stay in Rio Gallegos plus the reduced travelling time from 12 hours to 50 minutes this has to be the wise option.

After one night in Rio Gallegos I make attempts for exit toward final destination Ushuaia.

Ushuaia is south.

We have to cross the river +600km extra by bus.

Not having a guide book for Argentina, I haven’t researched or memorized such travel detail (like every good traveller should).

I looked for busses to Ushuaia at the bus station last night when we got off the bus.

Travel Agency
After consulting in a. Am instructed to revisit the bus station.

The bus to Ushuaia, after searching around and eventually having to ask, is located in one of the outbuilding toward the side of the station.

Desk
Burley men provide front desk duties, which speeds things up a little with their one-sentence, enquiry-reply method of communication.
The next bus is tommorrow, 10am sharp.

I have to wait one more day in Rio Gallegos if I want to catch this bus which I think is wise.

27 hour Bus ride.

Partially in the Andes (the ‘exciting’ part).

Rio Gallegos
This is a bus journey to somehwhere named Rio Gallegos a town sometimes likened to Puno (Peru).

Puno had wild dogs and rats fighting for scraps in the streets.

There were a few strangely idiotic people in Rio Gallegos but nothing resulting in a fight.

Have been down to Ushuaia.

This is in Argentina situated on a navigable sea lane of sorts; The Beagle Channel

Named after the first ship that navigated it surprisingly.

There are no shoals of beagles thrashing around.

Ushuaia
One of the first problems you will encounter with Ushuaia is pronouncing the name so as the locals can understand.

Its ‘Oosh-schwyaa’.

I’ve been to the southmost city in the world eating Lamb and drinking beer and fuck this blog and all that it stands for.

Fucking blog.

AND ALL THAT IT STANDS FOR

After wandering Peru and Chile for the past 2 months, SM l Andes is a real bite of the capitalist apple.

As I was chatting to a guy in a fishing shop high in the lake side country terrain he explained the reason for this apparent wealth.

“In CHile you got the really rich and the poor, in Argentina you got the rich, the poor and a well developed middle class”.

I did have his name and address and I said I’d mention him because he gave me a spoon (fishing device).

Well here’s to you dude, and if I find that piece of paper again…

Capitalist
San Martin, that means shops things that are nice to buy and spend all our money on.

You remember now.

Not being a subscriber, I don’t want to spend my money and town is boring.
Nice and boring.
