Here at last

Arrived here in Ushuaia on Wednesday evening and have spent the last couple of days assembling my bike and relaxing.

For those of you who don´t know, I had an interesting last couple of days in the uk cos I managed to break my bike! Of all the places to come off it, it was on the High Street in Kendal. I came round a corner in the rain and the wheels slipped. Somehow, without hitting anything, the frame bent, possibly from my hip hitting it cos it was a bit bruised. So I bought a new bike on Saturday and had a couple of hectic days preparing it for the journey.

The flights here went well and all my luggage including my bike arrived in one piece. The final flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia stopped in one of the Welsh settlements, Trelew, which was a little bizarre. Flew into Ushuaia during a storm. When I left the terminal, it was pretty hard to stand up, especially with the bike box flapping around. I wasn´t too sure about camping, but thought I couldn´t wimp out this early on. It worked out well though cos the campsite had some sheltered pitches in the woods, but it was still a bit of a wild night.

I´m going to try and put some photos on but may struggle cos the blog is now in Spanish´? The format of the blog may be a bit dodgy also cos I don´t know which of the buttons to press??

Anyhow, I´m planning to set off to Tolhuin, 100km to the east tomorrow. The wind is from the west, so shouldn´t be too bad, but lets not speak too soon....
