Disembarking from Ioffe

6:30 wake up, our last gentle wake up from Dutch. We were in the Beagle channel approaching Ushuaia. 7am breakfast, everyone’s hugging and taking more pictures and of course, EATING! We got details regarding where we catch buses to the hotel, airport, etc. About 70 of our intrepid Ioffe bunch of 100 are staying for race #2. 12 were on an 11am flight out and the rest (20 or so) went out on an afternoon flight. We were all hoping that Hotel Del Glacier would have rooms for us, so after breakfast we hung out in the cabin. We’d docked across from a huge 3000 person celebrity cruise ship so we marveled at that and how much fun that wouldn’t be!


Here's a picture of me with the Ioffe and the 3000 person celebrity cruise ship behind it. Pretty crazy 'eh?

When we got our final orders to disembark, the Peregrine staff were all in a receiving line to say goodbye. Hugs and thanks all around, a final farewell to our new friends, and we hopped on the bus. The hotel moved us through very expeditiously and now we’re relaxing in the room, waiting for our luggage and chilling out. We’ll meet a bunch of people in the lobby at 11 to head downtown to shop and eat again! For now, we relax in our awesome room.



After 10 days in a 7x12 cabin. It feels like this is expansive. We have our regular hotel room, then a drop down sitting area with a huge window at the back of the room. Really cool setup! It was foggy and snowing when we arrived but it seems to be clearing up quite nicely. So we’ll chuck around downtown this afternoon. At 6:30 we have packet pickup, 7:30 local entertainment and 8pm is the pasta party. 7am bus to the start line tomorrow morning for the Fin del Mundo Marathon. UG!
