After breakfast I packed up my bags and walked down to the Albatross Hotel. Check-in wasn’t until after midday so I left my bags in reception and went out again. I visited the Maritime Museum which is housed in the old penal colony prison. It was quite impressive with a lot to look at both from a Maritime perspective as well as the prison. Ushuaia was chosen as a place to send prisoners for the same reason they sent convicts from Britain to Australia. Thanks to these prisoners much of Ushuaia was built. I spent about 3hrs there before walking down the street for the tenth time! I had lunch in a small café and then went and checked into the hotel. I didn’t really do anything for the rest of the day other than chill out, got a massage, checked out the ship (it’s so ugly) and waited for my room mate to turn up. By 2200 she hadn’t arrived and Gail Cheeseman knocked on my door to give me the program for tomorrow and to explain that my room mate decided to stay in the hotel she was already booked into. Fine by me because it meant I could spread out.
