The Uttermost Part of the Earth
Nothing much to report I am afraid, Steak & wine tea again last night Total cost 10Quid & then a beer in the Irish bar.
Went for a walk this morning in the vain hope of seeing a beagle.....no joy.
Weather overcast & breezy, probably about 50 degrees,
Discovered to my horror that the hotel cost 24 british pounds, & the breakfast was inadaquate, watery coffee & 2 silly wee croussionts* What is the attraction of these most useless of things. are they supposed to be a sort of a designer roll? If you tried to put a slice of lorne in it more than half would stick out the side, & your fried egg would slide out & end up in your lap. Another useless french invention, they should stick to designing frocks & perfume for the effeminate.
I had to take a plane from Ushuaia back to Puntas Arenas as the buses only run every couple of days & I have to catch a flight back to Santiago tomorrow, Flight was uneventfull & late.
Staying back in the hostal Fitzroy ( quiz question: who was he) which I wisely booked before I left Puntas.
I will watch whom I talk to tonight, just in case! Yours SS

I can just see you trying to eat a croissant (correct spelling) with lorne sausage and fried egg, with the yolk dripping onto your lap. Wow! Expect you are more a Morton's roll man! Your journal includes many notes on your eating and drinking habits over the past weeks eg. porridge, steak (remember - Fray Bentos is from Uruguay), etc etc. Strange that towards the end of your trip lorne sausage comes to mind!! Perhaps you are a true Scotsman after all.
And to answer the quiz question - Robert Fitzroy was the captain of The Beagle which was the ship in which Charles Darwin travelled the world. Impressed, huh?

Not sure why one would expect to see any beagles ie. the dog variety (is there any other variety?), though I'm sure you will have found the flora and fauna of the area extremely interesting!
One also should not believe Virginia Woolf...
