Hi all
This afternoon we arrive in Ushuaia, the southern most part of Argentina. We started out at 5am this morning with checkout, airport departures and two flights via Argentina Airlines. Now, their customer service ethos is something to behold.
Naturally we were in first class - seats 1a and 1b right up the front, so we got to see exactly what goes on with the airline staff and ground controllers..... and what doesn't go on.
We both came to the conclusion that the best part of the employment arrangement at Argentina Airlines are firstly the kisses everyone gives each other, pilots included.... and secondly the food that the hosties pretend not to eat but scoff down in between walks down the aisle way.
Then of course there's the chit chat and the putting on of makeup right in front of your eyes - even hosties on Jetstar we think are better behaved - ha ha.
We smelt the aroma of freshly baked bread but alas that was a nice hot meal for the crew. The passengers didn't get fed and watered. But, what did we care, because we were having the trip of a lifetime and on the first flight we did get a coffee, a croissant and cream caramel spread.
We landed at around 2.30p.m. and headed for our hotel - The Albatross. Close and handy to the port we would be transferring to tomorrow to board our Russian boat.
A light lunch, a walk up and down the streets to find gucci shops for the rich and famous, chocolate shops and in the back streets, we were relieved to find an industrial 'tradies' shop where we could purchase our gumboots ready for the voyage which we were instructed to buy.
Back to to hotel for a little wi fi blogging, a rest and re-charge of the battery ready to view the nightlife, clubs, moon dancing etc.
Till later, it's time to have forty winks and dream of penguins. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
