So more planning

So I have been doing some more planning and more thinking about my trip.. I keep on day dreaming in class it really isn't good. But anyways, I have come up with a little plan of what I want to do and where.. When I arrive in Santiago I would like to travel in a downward trend towards the south pole well the closest you can get to it I guess to a town called Ushuaia in Argentina. The way I need to go to get there is from Santiago, Chile to Puerto Montt, Chile then to Punta Arenas, Chile then finally onto Ushuaia, Argentina. This whole thing will probably take around 3 days just by bus which would be quite interesting to see the country but not much to do apart from being on a bus I guess.. Should be cool to see the culture around the number of different towns I will be visiting though.. On the way back I'm still considering if I have enough time to go everywhere I want to go as I want to go all the way back up along the eastern coast stopping at probably Rio Gallegos, Argentina then Punta Alta probably then up to Buenos Aires and catch a ferry across to Montevideo. This part I'm actually really looking forward to and also Ushuaia. The other option is to fly between Rio Gallegos and Buenos Aires which only costs US$104 which is an option as going by bus is going to cost me around US$70 anyways but then again I can get that sorted when I get there because I have both options and also more information then when I'm actually on the ground in Chile. Although I do have to learn spanish to benefit from speaking to people. Alas, I don't know how many weeks this will take hopefully not more than 3 weeks we'll see. There's another problem i face at the moment is how to get a tourist visa for Cuba as there is no embassy here in NZ or anywhere near New Zealand the closes one is in Indonesia. In addition to this no one I know, knows how to get a visa not even at the travel agent that I bought the ticket from.. But thats a little further down the track then Santiago and Rio. I did take a look at how much accommodation will cost me though and it seems that I might be paying more for accommodation than I originally thought. Well the internet seems to lie sometimes and you never know what it's like when you get there as with what I experienced in Fiji. Don't get me wrong I loved my time in Fiji and the people I met were great, it was just that the culture was totally different to what I'm used to back here in New Zealand. So I think I'm going to play it safe this time round and see what I'm paying for before deciding what to do. If any of you people who read this blog have any suggestions as to what I should see or where I should say tell me cause I'm all ears.
