The story

Argentina after the South Pole Giuseppe and I spend 8 days aboard the ship of 40 thousand tons displacement, at the South Pole. It's an icebreaker, and after having gone ashore three times during the cruise, I can well say I've been in another state, Antarctica, even if it has no customs and no stamp on your passport, although, to tell the truth, at the Argentine Antarctic base they did give us a symbolic stamp. My most beautiful trip without doubt. On the way back, after passing again through the tortuous Drake Passage where the sea is always rough, here is Argentina again, and Chile too. Our arrival at Ushuaia is a welcome one, after 24 hours of being tossed about on the open sea. We disembark in Argentina and visit the capital of Tierra del Fuego, then the next day we get off and with the Aerolineas Argentinas flight we fly to Buenos Aires and then to Italy. bye
