Landed in Ushuaia yesterday - the southern most town in the 
world!! (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. 56 degrees south) The flight down was pretty awesome; stunning views of mountains, glaciers, rivers and the terrain that we will be riding through! Its pretty cold, especially after Brasil, less than 10 degrees here!!! And its summer!!
It was pretty funny arriving at the airport in Ushuaia and setting our bikes up. Its quite a small airport and we were taking up half of it with our shit everywhere. Managed to break a spoke while putting new tyres on, but Shane fixed it quickly. Once the bikes were set up, we loaded them up, and stepped outside. It was sooooooooooooooo windy and we nearly got blown off our bikes just biking from the airport into town. Welcome to Patagonia!
Today we got supplies...food, fuel for cookers, cash etc... We also went on a boat trip in the Beagle channel for 4 hours, it was pretty awesome!! Scenery is wonderful!!! Also saw lots of cool birds and sea lions etc.. and went for a walk on one of the islands. We were also lucky enough to see a huge orca come right up onto the beach and grab a baby seal. Matilda got a great photo, but was extremely close to getting eaten herself!!!!
