Long and treacherous, but much better than we thought! The road to Ushuaia is something that we did not want to put SalSolcito through. But she managed with full wings and colors (like my hair that is blue now to match the glaciers!) And we are so happy to be here just in time for New Years Eve as we wanted for so long...Parked in the bay, next to a few German trucks- we laughed thinking of our delicate frenchi motorhome near the robust Germans- we were tucked in as it is really cold, but so pretty surrounded by snowy mountains!.
The end of the world. Literally. Where the ruta 3 finishes, at Lapataia. We did such a pretty trekking today, from Ensenada Zaratiegui, alongside the Beagle Channel. Green forest, emerald water, mountains...and a sudden "margarita" path! Picked a small bunch and celebrated her birthday, her life...missing her so so much!
Starving after such a long walk and after we had our passports stamp by the "official post office- end of the world- we drove a bit up and spent the night on a valley, between the lake and the bay; a fresh stream going through.... life is very very good!

Another magnificent walk! And this time we got to the border with Chile... and to the end of Ruta 3! At night, a bit sore, had a drink with a group of motorhomers and went to sleep after a midnight cheers and a yummy strawberry, cream and "dulce de leche" liquor desert!1 January 2016
What an incredible year we had!!! We started 2015 in Morocco with Ani y Uli and travelled extensively. At one point, Hecti flew to Argentina to visit his mum and I went to UK to be with Jane and Edu. Reunited, we crossed then to Portugal spending a lot of time on its coastal line. Entered Spain and flying to Fiji for Daiana's wedding. Enjoyed a lot being with the kids and dad, Ines, Clau, Claudi and Tito. Back to Spain and meeting Rolf and Karina for the north cost of France. Driving to Belgium and then Germany. Finally, have a ball in the Baltic countries - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. A great adventure to Russia and Finland by ferry. Back to Europe and off to Poland and the Nordic walk competition....to Hamburg to take SalSolcito to the port. In Argentina, we celebrated Julian and Anna wedding and my dad 80th birthday before going to Uruguay to pick up our home and start our America dream. And today, while I am having breakfast in the most beautiful place on earth- Tierra del Fuego- the sun has just come out! Happy 2016!!!!
