The Most Superlative Post in the World

We’ve been to a lot of superlative places. South America’s full of them. In La Paz, we went to the highest curry house in the world (llama tikka masala), the highest Irish pub in the world (deep-fried Mars bar), the highest fountain in the world, the highest burger joint in the world… There were plenty of high things in La Paz.

And now, in Ushuaia, we’ve been seeing a lot of the most southerly places in the world. Ushuaia itself is the most southerly town in the world, at 64 degrees 15 minutes. We’re not very far away from the Antarctic here; 90% of people and boats which go there leave from the port. It’s $3000 dollars to go there though, so this will be pretty much as far south as I’ll be going.

So far, I’ve been to the most southerly lighthouse in the world (Faro Fin del Mundo, although not the one in Jules Verne wrote about; that’s further north of here), the most southerly chocolate shop in the world, the most southerly Irish pub in the world, the most southerly dive shop in the world, the most southerly gift shop in the world. Here’s a picture of the most southerly Saf in the world:

Sadly, though, we can’t visit the most southerly bar in the world. The bloody Ukrainians have got one on the Antarctic research base. Cabrones.
