Fifth stop - Argentina!

The first hiccup of this trip occured when Chris realized he made a mistake looking at the calendar.. Holding the title as the current minister of travel we entrusted him with responsibility for all logistics - perhaps not the best of ideas. The problem was a result of us travelling over night from Easter Island, thus making a date-change that was overlooked. When counting the number of days available in Chile we were already one short when we arrived there and this ended up with us missing the plane to Argentina. :-)

Alright! New tickets got booked on the spot setting us back a few thousand NOKs, but in the overall budget for this trip it was but a glitch in the matrix. The biggest bummer about the whole thing was that we missed the extra day in Buenos Aires we planned on spending on exploring the city.

Being scarce of time we had to prioritize carefully what to do in Argentina's capital. A quick look at what the country is most famous for gave us Evita Peron and PRIME BEEF! For three big men the choice was easy. We were going for dinner. And what a dinner it was!

Lars chose some 2nd rate cut, but me and Chris decided to go all-in for the filet of filets - Wagyu beef. Directly translated wagyu means something like "Japanese cow" and refers to several breeds of cattle. The meat from this cattle is known for it's high quality and intense marbling, and demands a high price - even in Argentina. Compared to Norwegian standards however it cost "nothing" so 600g per person was ordered, and we were given proper tools to battle the huge chunks that was served:

Lucky for us the taxi could pick us up right outside the restaurant and take us back to the Hostel. After finishing this ridiculous meal none of us were able to walk very far. Going back from Antarctica we had another stop in Buenos Aires - this time just 6 hours - but enough time to repeat this food splurge at a different "Parilla" (steak house).

- The next day we packed our bags one more time and prepared for the final part of this trip. And this adventure would start in the capital of Tierra del Fuego, and the southernmost city in the world - Ushuaia!
