In bed

Pretty much spent the day in bed. Arrived yesterday afternoon and we had an impromptu party here at the hostel (FreeStyle - strongly recommend it if you're ever in these parts), led mostly by an ex con from Brazil. Great bloke and a sailor too, and we've resolved to sail pacific together, but as neither of us have a boat, and he is a convicted drug dealer, probably pass...

I've heard more from the skipper of the yacht in Puerto Madryn, and even though it would completely change my plans, am considering it. It would mean backtracking to PM (on that road I swore I'd never travel on again, this time by bus though), then pretty much sailing until mid May when I'd hopefully be in Puerto Montt Chile and would then fly to London. Central America, Panama, and Peru etc would have to wait until the return trip. I have contact numbers of friends of this skipper here in Ushuaia, so will hopefully catch up with them in the next couple of days. There is a newer, faster, boat apparently here that is heading up the Chillean Fjords, but as yet haven't heard back from the skipper. Anyway, the trip was intended to be flexible so will see how things pan out.

Hair of the dog time, white wine today though, and later perhaps to this great little Irish bar here. Every town in the world has an Irish pub it seems...

Hasta,
