Ushuaia

"It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" is a song by R.E.M. from 1987 and it just explains how it feels here. It is a strange town covered in wind - mix of Antarctic ships, souvenir shops, 15€ pizza joints and full of pimped Opel Corsas (?!?), but at the same time nowhere else you can see at the same time the sea, city and peaks covered with snow. It is really 'el fin del mundo' as we know it... From here it is only the Antarctica to go to (4,000$ for 10-day trip - next time!). Chileans argue that Puerto Williams on the other side of the Beagle canal is the southernmost city but it is way to small to dethrone Ushuaia. And then you come to end of the road and it says: 'to Warsaw 15,000 km' - starting my long way back tomorrow but will first visit few places more...
