I've been having a bit of a dilemma with my Argentinian travel plans. The main problem is the weather in the far south of the country. I had hoped to slowly make my way down through Argentina to Ushuaia (the worlds most southerly city) and then head up through Chile.

The down side with that plan is that after March/early April things start to shut down there. Bus and boat routes dramatically reduce and access to some National Parks becomes increasingly difficult as the weather worstens.

So, what i've decided to do is grab a flight all the way down to Ushuaia and then start working my way back up - whilst I can.

This plan had been going well until I arrived at the airport this morning at 6:00am only to be told that my flight had been moved to 3:50pm and therefore i'd missed my connection from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia! The only option was a night in Buenos Aires airport and then a flight the day after at 5:00am. Guess that offsets my good luck with the "plush" bus last week :-)

So as things stand I should be arriving in Ushuaia on Tuesday morning. And for those in the UK who are getting fed up of all these ´good weather´reports, check out the weather banner on the home page. Its going to be cold. Especially with those famous Patagonian winds!
