Sometimes things just work out. After checking out of my hotel at 10 a.m. I went straight down to the airport, and for some reason I was offered an earlier flight south. So instead of waiting round at an airport I am now on my way to Ushuaia. I'll be landing there in about half an hour, round about the time my scheduled flight will depart from Buenos Aires. So I'll have more time to get organised in Ushuaia.
The flight down is quite long, about 4 hours. The plane is half empty, so it is fairly quiet, no crowding. The landscape doesn't change much for the first few hours, You are either above huge stretches of green and brown fields, Patagonia, with just the odd inhabited spot, or you are above the South Atlantic ocean, huge stretches of blue with just the islands of clouds white above it. When I start to see mountains I will know we are almost there. And I might get a glimpse of Europa in port.
