01-07-08 Back in Ushuaia


We made it back to the port and it was sad to watch the Orlova, turn and leave within 4 hours of our disembarkation, but all good things must come to an end. Today we took a bus tour out to an estancia in the mountains, and in this sunlight, the Andes are beautiful!Ushuaia is also one of the world's largest producers of Huskies and they are famous for their sled dogs in the Ididarod. We stopped by a husky breeding farm and the dogs were gorgeous.
At the estancia, there was a marine science lab that collected beached whale bones from the whole Eastern Argentine shoreline and here is a whale jaw. They had beautiful gardens at the plantation as well. This was a nice wind down day before we had to load up on planes for another 30 hours of travel.
