Today is my first real day in Ushuaia so the plan is to have a walk around the city centre and get some info on tours and things to do. The water is still out at the house which is a pain but can't be helped. After breakfast I headed into the Main Street and found the tourist info centre and got a map along with some info about Ushuaia and things to do - the good news is there is plenty to do the bad news is it is expensive. I then stopped at the Antartica expeditions office and found out the sad fact that it was highly unlikely I would find a job on a boat to Antartica as the companies are all located overseas and there are no contact points here. I then headed to Jose's work where I was able to change some dollars (blue dollar market/ like the black market for selling dollars) and was given a rate far better then the banks were offering. Next it was off to the supermarket to look at some of the strange things Argentinians eat; nothing really struck me as odd but the prices are reasonable so I am happy. After making some lunch I did my washing and then got ready for another walk around the city. Ushuaia is actually a very interesting city and contrary to popular belief is not a city solely of tourism. It turns out Argentina has banned the importation of all goods and so everything is brought in from China and the like and built here in Ushuaia - meaning there is huge fabrication industry here paying workers huge amounts of money to construct these goods. The result is a very wealthy city with the best infrastructure and amenities and where the locals earn 3-4 x the average salaries; to go with that you have a huge tourist industry and all Antartica expeditions leaving from their port; and as if that wasn't enough huge mountains and glaciers all around. So to say Ushuaia is very unique is an understatement and I am very glad I made the trip down here to check it out. In the evening I did some yoga (first time in 3 weeks after hurting my back) and prepared some dinner as Jose wasn't finishing work until around 10pm. I had also been talking via couchsurfing with A German girl called Eva about possibly meeting up to do some hiking together, anyways she was in Ushuaia so we invited her around to Jose's. Eva was a very interesting girl with many stories and after a long chat she decided to buy my mini stove for her upcoming trip to Torres del Paine, meaning I have now sold all my brought Torres equipment and back to how it was before. It was now 2 in the morning so well and truly time for bed.
