so we just visited the southernmost post office in the world
we're gonna have a snack it didn't take us long to get hungry
and you know what else i like about this trail what the beaches yeah there are so many like
little secluded beaches like little coves well good morning good morning guys good morning guys
another day in here in ushuaia tierra del fuego argentina sure is and you know what we consumed
a ridiculous amount of barbecue yesterday so the only logical thing is to go hiking today
we're gonna move the popsicle sticks a little bit so we're gonna be hiking one of the most
famous things or top attractions really in ushuaia tierra del fuego is to head to the national park
so we are going to be visiting tierra del fuego national park we are down here at the bus terminal
which is really just a parking lot and they have a whole bunch of shuttles that leave every few hours
so we booked some tickets so we're going to go there the park's only 12 kilometers
away from the downtown so this is our little ticket to get to the national park
we paid 15 us dollars and that is for a round trip they have shuttles leaving quite frequently
yeah it's a nice flexible schedule a flexible schedule and they said for the return we can
come back at two four six eight we don't need to reserve we can just show up we'll be at the
bus stop and get on whenever we're tired yeah so yeah and they also cover a lot of different
routes like they go to other main attractions in the outskirts of ushuaia so yeah different
transportation options like 16 places to choose from exactly they got you covered for sure
we've made it we've made it we have made it to the national park here are our tickets and this
is valid for two days so we're planning to come back again tomorrow yeah so let's talk
about the price so for foreigners the price is 840 pesos which at this moment is 14 us dollars
and we are hitting up our first trail of the day we got off at the first stop so we're
gonna be doing a three to four hour coastal hike i think it's eight kilometers in total
i'm pumped should be good we are we're we're slowly becoming hikers aren't we
our first stop in the park was the post office at the end of the world made of corrugated metal
and wood this tiny post office sits atop a pier on the shores of the beagle channel and it's the last
chance to send mail before reaching antarctica the exterior is plastered and stickers from travelers
who've reached this place from all corners of the world and inside the walls are covered in
postcards and currencies from far away lands i ended up sending a postcard home to canada
and i also got my passport stamped because as it turns out i'm an avid stamp collector
hold up
okay
all right so we just visited the southernmost post office in the world unless you keep going you know
all the way to antarctica but here in argentina we're as far south as we can get yeah and i sent
a postcard home which was exciting um just so you have an idea of the prices it was 440 u.s
or 575 canadian so not terrible because it will be traveling it's got a little ways to go oh yeah
they said it takes about 20 days for the postcards to arrive yeah so we'll see when my parents get
it and also i got my passport stamped yeah that was very i i need to show you that because that
was so cool so i paid 150 pesos for that and you get a whole bunch of stamps and the price
for that 250 us or 320 or 325 canadian so let's go to the special page shall we this is not my
passport might help if you can grab the right help if i grab my own password slight help sam
wasn't really into the stamps because my passports have filled up too quickly in recent years so i
am look at that this says um the southernmost mailman like the mailman at the end of the world
yeah and you get post office at the end of the world tierra del fuego in argentina patagonia is
a cute little penguin penguin argentina end of the world also has the date today's date we are
visiting january 2020. yeah very cool very cool thing to do i'm super pumped that's right up your
alley audrey we're pumped yes i collected all the stamps at checkpoint charlie too so wherever i can
oh and i got my beagle channel stamped so i'm all set your password fills up quickly
we're gonna have a snack we're gonna have a snack it didn't take us long to get hungry actually we
it took us a little longer to get started so it's almost lunch time anyway so we found a little
pebbly beach we're gonna go down set up our little picnic enjoy the beautiful views we're the only
ones here for now yeah this is great and yeah i brought some apples peanuts and biscuits let's eat
the hike we did that day is called cinda costera which means coastal trail the trailhead starts
just to the left of the post office and it runs all the way over to the visitor center
to give you a bit of information this coastal trail is eight kilometers one way
and it can take about three to four hours to complete
what the hell well we thought for an update check in let you know how we're doing on
this trail the coastal trail it's been great yes beautiful views let me tell you
after hiking in el chalten this is very easy this is novice compared to there we're finding it very
flat like i mean you've got a few little hills but it's very minimal elevation yeah so we find that
we can really keep a steady pace going which is nice i feel like this track is for more like all
general fitness levels like as long as you're in reasonable shape you're just going to be able to
do it yeah if you're in walking shape you can do this for sure um we've been walking now for
just over two hours and one thing i'll say is that there isn't information boards here so we have no
idea how close we are to being finished oh that's one thing i'm really missing like in el chalten
they had markers every kilometer so you knew how much you had left to go yeah and here it's
just a bit of a mystery we're in the dark like are we there yet yeah we don't know we don't
know but we've actually been passing people today so i think we're making pretty good time
and um yeah it's been a beautiful day the temperature's been perfect i actually prefer a
day like this like overcast not too hot not too sunny it's been refreshing and it's just been
beautiful being out here in the woods and you know what else i like about this trail what the beaches
yeah there are so many like little secluded beaches like little coves um and like i keep
seeing people resting and having a little picnic a little siesta tons of places tons of viewpoints
great for photography great for chilling out and yeah i've noticed that people on this trail
are just really taking their time yeah and uh i think that's a great idea that's my suggestion too
well guys we've made it to the end of the line we are at the visitor center where they also
have a restaurant this place is called a la couch and they have food it is fast food you know quick
dishes easy to make i ordered a spanish tortilla with um spicy chorizo yeah on top lots of potato
huh that's what i'm having is decent it's not the best food i've had in ushuaia but you know
what we've been hiking for a few hours yeah and i'm hungry so i'm gonna eat it regardless
maybe we can go to our favorite pasta place in town when we arrive i'm thinking about that
all right so i'm getting the milanesa napolitana which is the breaded cutlet with cheese
and then tomato sauce on top i've been craving this for a while so yum yum
it's pretty good i do love my milaneses hungry i was still hungry after like four hours hiking so
i got a ham and cheese empanada and a slice of cheesecake that has
passion fruit sauce check out that oh that's piping on let's try the cheesecake
i do like the cheesecake it's nice and light it's one of those kind of like
whipped consistencies it's not moosey moosie that's the word i'm looking for moosie
guys i am so tired we are so tired yeah i feel like i could fall asleep just
leaning i feel the same way we're exhausted oh great day though yeah today was a really nice
day i was super excited to visit the southernmost post office in the world yeah and a postcard got
my stamps got a nice hike in food here was me so so but yeah we'll let it slide we are we will do
tomorrow is we'll just have us if we come back here we'll have a snack and then we'll
