Almost to Ushuaia

Wednesday 25-Jan-2023 1:30pm Argentina time (GMT+3, two hours ahead of US Eastern time, three hours ahead of central)
In an hour and a half we board a plane for the final flight on the way south, a 3 hour flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia. Boarding at Miami last night was a bit of a project -- I had a hard time getting the rental car return, followed by a ton of walking on my bad wheels and lugging a lot of luggage. Maybe that's why they call it luggage. 

8 hour 20 minute flight from Miami to BA, getting in at 7am Argentina time. Plenty of time to get from EZE, the international airport, to AEP, a smaller domestic airport on the other side of town, right next to the Atlantic Ocean. I think the Uber equivalent cost us about $15US.  I haven't slept much since Tuesday morning, so it will be nice to have a couple extra days in Ushuaia to recover and see some sights before boarding the Quark Ocean Explorer Saturday morning.

The bars were left on the windows. The guard stands overlooking the dining area / gym were all still there. The cells in most wings had the walls repaired, painted, and had the doors removed. Other than the maritime museum, each former cell contained an exhibit.  The old prison building is at the bottom left of this postcard pic   We first went through the maritime museum, a small part of the first wing past the entrance. It contai...
