we made it! or "the airline made it" .. we really reached ushaia yesterday and - although nobody really believed it - also our luggage !!! ... and what a good thing THAT was !! ... because here the ("so-called" - haha) summer presents itself with steady rainfall, snowfall and/or strong wind. We are still not sure which combination is worse. Ok, I must admit, not to do unjustice.. we have seen the sun at least ..hm... 5 minutes.... ok...6 minutes.. behinde clouds ... but that´s the maximum! in the shop windows they have signs saying "summer outlet" ???? are they crazy ??
today we did a trip to a glacier... but there was such heavy snowfall, so many clouds and fog that we actually could not differenciate between the lying snow and ..was there also some ice somewhere.. a glacier ?? hm ?? ... also the "incredible" view mentioned in the guide turned out to be one of about 3 meters for us. but we decided to see it postive... at least it was a check of the equipment .. and here we really can report something positive.... we were warm and dry beneath our ten layers of cloth, functional wear and rainproof overclothes... fairly good, no ? :-)
But we are full of hope for better weather .. I mean.. hey... if they managed to bring out luggage, everything is possible, even wonders, and maybe from tomorrow on the sun will shine .... :-)
Therefore - full of hope, or still overmotivated - we have planned to do another day-trek to "laguna esmeralda" tomorrow to check out whether the promising name can also be veryfied under worst thinkable conditions of heavy snowfall and fog. Maybe we can see the water if we put our face real close to the surface of the lake .. probably will stumble into it.. but... testing the quality of the gear is always a good thing :-)
I hope you all feel nice and cosy now in your warm offices and flats... you are welcome ..I always feel glad if I can help :-)
we send you a lot of regards and hope you are all fine !!!!!!! xxxx kisses
