Ushuaia - The End of the World

I arrived here in Ushuaia yesterday. The trip was long and exhausting with stops in Miami, Santiago, Chile, Buenos Aires, Argentina and finally, Fin Del Mundo - Ushuaia. About 32 hours total travelling time. I got about two hours sleep total that whole time. Anyway...
Ushuaia, on the island of Tierra del Fuego, has about 10,000 (?) people. It is a working town with a port that handles fishermen, adventurous yacthspeople, cargo ships and small cruise ships destined for Antarctica.
I arrived hungry and tired so after checking in I found a restaurant that served pizza, so I ordered a Crudo Jamon (ham and cheese). What I got was unique among the pizzas I have ordered in my life, this one had a Fuegan flair.
I walked around a little before heading back to my hotel where I slept off my trip with a 10 hour coma-like knock out.
This morning after eating breakfast in the Hotel Albatros I went for a walk around town. Where I spotted some cool birds (still trying to figure out the names) and looked in shop windows on the shopping street.
Made it!
