Antarctica trip Jan 2016 Day 5

Very early start, as Leonardo was taking me to the airport, in fact it
was so early I ended up being the first in the queue for checkin. I
think I may now be as close as I'll ever be, to being a native South
American :). I was able to check in for both my flights today (Iguazu
to Buenos Aires and then onto Ushuaia) and they would organise my
luggage to be transferred. A window seat again and I had a quick
glimpse of the falls as we took off - a very spectacular sight. I was
back in Buenos Aires just before lunch time but at a different airport
to last time. I didn't leave the lounge area as I didn't need to pick
up my luggage meaning I didn't need to go through Security again.
Sat around the airport lounge reading a book, writing a few things for
this travel blog and generally being lazy. I had quite a good burger
at the Hard Rock Cafe but I'm afraid Argentinian coffee is not good.
Boarded the plane to Ushuaia and took off about 4 pm, the three and a
half hour trip to Ushuaia was good but I am getting sick of the
biscuits in the snack box they give you and I've sworn off their
coffee with powdered milk. When we got close to Ushuaia the scenery
became very picturesque with snow covered mountains behind the town.
Even before leaving the plane I could tell it was chilly outside as
the workmen had big thick coats, beanies, scarves and gloves. I also
got to see my luggage being offloaded from the plane before I
disembarked which pleased me greatly as I was worried it might go
missing in the flight changeover.
For a change my bag was almost the first one out on the carousel, so I
picked it up and wandered out to the Arrivals area to find people who
were giving me and a few others a lift to our hotel. We got dropped
off at the hotel and in the process I booked a trip out to the
National Park to fill in Saturday morning before we board the ship.
Then it was a quick shower and unpack before having dinner at the
hotel cafe. The BBQ'ed lamb and beef was excellent and the sautéed
shrimp and mussels for entree was also great. The sun only just went
behind the hills at around 10 pm and even now at 11 pm it is still
reasonably light outside. Time for sleep now as tomorrow I'll head
into Ushuaia and spend the day looking around.
