Take closer peek.....

THE MOST AMAZING DAY!

First up take your time (get your glasses) look really closely its like where's wally not my bobble hat but my new red hat ........I am in there get looking 

Have you found me...it is tricky even for me.....? 

Do you want a clue. I am next to a baby one does that help? they are more furry brown.

Go on take some time try zooming......

Between the one that is looking left and the one with its back to us......

Mwah ha ha, here I am

Its a picture but you had fun right and just for a moment you didn't think of anything else right, but where's Libby?! Oh how I am crying and chuckling. 

Also saw the southern lights

A cool museum, anyway, I will come back to that. 

In actual fact it was a lazy day today got up late though here everyone seems to. Nothing really happens until 1000. Good job as is raining and grey and I imagine the weather can often be like this. Perfect day to go hiking on your own right?! Everyone had said I must go to the national park and end of route 3..... we will see why.... and try and get to the Maritime museum which isn't actually the maritime museum work that out! 

So I need to put a firecracker under me brave the weather and see if I can make the 1200 bus, though secretly hoping I won't and therefore have a dry indoor day!  As I also haven't gone equipped with my flask of tea or enough clothes.....hmmm...love a well made plan!

Made the bus yay! Its snowing yay! Probably better than rain, but Libby Greenhalgh last seen at the end of Route3.

Imagine if that was today's cliffhanger....

Dun dun daaaah! 

..... could just stay on the bus seeing as how it is only me on it, though for that reason I would feel bad. However, I am soon joined by more people from the train stop but they are definitely not equipped to go hiking. 

As I pull on my waterproof trousers and jacket as we get to the end of route 3 I am to be surprised by the fact everyone seems to be getting off.

Well I am definitely going to survive longer than the rest of these dudes!

Now piling the snow down. Which seems almost impossible to capture in a photo I set about wandering around the Lapatia National Park and along the bay.  Mostly bird spotting. I am generally a lover of animals but birds I am not quite sure about: ducks (donald, daffy, feeeding them but not bread people!) yes, owls yes, eagles and our red breastes friend the robin  and woody the woodpecker obviously, but all the millions of birds inbetween.  I am not sure mainly I think they just move to quick..... therefore hard to admire, difficult to cuddle never mind get in a headlock and they could just poop on me from above.....lucky or not. But there are plenty shooting about on my walk,  I gave up trying to catch them with my phone and they really slightly marvelous creatures

The area has a lot of the lenga trees and some beech trees there are only 2 types of deciduous tree in this part of the world if I remember correctly not that I remember their names and  there is plenty of furry green beard  so time to suck in the oxygen I guess the air doesn't get much cleaner than here! 

The soil is generally only 30cm deep so difficult for things to grow and also trees to stand up not just because of Mr Castor (beaver) who is busy making a nuisance over here as well. Apparently they have even adapted to Salt water crossed the Beagle Channel  and are chowing down and daming up Isla Navarino, though the beaver is also falling into the unicorn pile with th he puma! Other than the stuffed one I found at the information centre. They love a good stuffed animal here!

Peat bogs are another key feature here and often fill the valleys that the glaciers left and in fact are where the film the Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed,  not in the natioanl park, but on my tour guide day, anyway more interesting in a random way is that apparently you can sell the peat bog stuff for fuel and in Scotland that's either how make, bake or brew some whiskeys??????

I had a 2 or 4 hour time hour limit to catch my bus home. Most of the trails are closed, normally you would probably spend a day or to and camp in th earea but not today. So iwas making sure i would miss one of the potentially squillion white vams on pick up. And...(neer start a entence with and) I didn't, it was full! Reassuringly my poorly clad co passengers had made it there! They must be freezing, my feet were annoyingly soggy!!! Anyway much confusion which I still believe resulted in us eaving my original co passengers out there, but survival of the fitness and I was going home!

A submarino later and I was ready for the museuem........are you?

Me not really at all, sometime travelling is hard, play the small violin, i am so tired. But if you here defintiely go to 

The musem that is everything I would say  and

Paso de Garibaldi Restaurant

Read on if you want, for a lazy day I seem to have a lot to say maybe that's the problem however it is no the case with the motivation and it took a mountain to get myself to a prisn of all places and the best restaurant in Ushuaia that I have tried!

This is a model of Beagle this is the ridiculous ship that came here and found the channel, nevermind the ones that had technically done before or the not dis-similar ones that  discover we are actually one an island ahhhhh can'r be true. Or the dutchies that went actually there is more to the bottom an7d found Cabo do Hornos so named as it was their departure point, I hope Iam right. But also they had to find an alternative route becasue only boats in the East India Company could go through the Beagle channel so they went sout and find it they did

A model of the Beagle ship that first made it here, soome spooooookey prison cell, interesting comparison to other prisons and the scary silence of the lamb clothing they wore for their Antartica expeditions.

Neverwind the art and peeeeeeeeenguins!

This museum is worthy of its own blog but the informaton is too much to put and would not be appreciatd in the way that it should.

But this prision was overpopulated 2 to a cell and buckets with not pleasant people in a very different era and they very cleverly left one wing truly as it was unheated and bare and dark, If someone had said boo to me there I wuld have pooooo poooped myself.

 As is my current trend on staying somewher, on the last night go somewhere where you wish you could have eat every night and Paso de Garobaldi did not disappoint.
