Day 17 - End of the World, Ushuaia

This was billed as the coldest day of the trip. 

Well it did not get above 6 degrees. But the real challenge was the continuous pouring rain plus a strong wind. This pushed us to the limit in ride skills and endurance. 

The first hurdle was just 129 km down the road where we had to cross back into Argentina at a post re-knowned for being adverserial. But the border turned out to be straight forward but not fast. 

Then we arrived in Ushuaia, the most southerly city on the planet. Through the great gates we rode onto a thriving city based on tourism, fishing plus oil and gas. I have a lot of clothing to dry out!

A 25 year dream is realised.
