New York State of Mind
Your blog has me once again in the New York State of Mind! O to be in New York now that April's here...could well have been a refrain by the Bard - had he been living in our times...Well well well. I am actually in London and its just a hop away. New york is becoming a favorite haunt of mine even if just to walk the streets!

loving your work Laura - although I'm not sure about being referred to in your last entry as "abba dooby wotsit" or whatever it was! So are you in London Town now? And please can we have a reunion of Club Loser? Going by past experience, I'm sure that Spencer will turn up somewhere. Perhaps from under a coffee table, or he'll be in McDonalds tapping away at his brick and see us walk past. x

Hey! I am going to Trindidad and Tobago in 2.5 weeks and I cannot find any information about the ferry to Venezuela! I googled it and came across your travels (lovely photos and even lovelier man in the photos, lol). I am wondering if you can recall anything about getting to the ferry, the fee, etc... I'll be staying in Port of Spain. Let me know. Love Jeanne vintagevelveteen.blogspot.com

Laura! I love all your travelling fiascos. (Not to mention being incredibly jealous!) Having a lack of work to do, and reading your blogs, I cant wait to travel again. I will be in central and hopefully as much as s america as possible in a few months! Keep up with your stories so I have more entertainment until then!

Wow
You look absolutely gorgeous, my love! I would kill for a boody like yours! I can't believe all the extraordinary and exciting things you are up to! It sounds like you are having the time of your life.I look forward to reading your hilarious blogs when I am feeling burdened by piles of books and research - you cheer me up, although not so much when I hear about your accidents! I hope you are feeling much better now. And I am so glad Italo didn't turn out to be a scary serial killer! You two look great together by the way... Enjoy Costa Rica, Chica! And in the meantime, try to avoid worms and impossible MJ dance moves... :) Love Prasantha x

This is a nice blog about the Philippines and I'm glad that you liked your stay there. In the Philippines, just like in any other places, there are good eggs and bad eggs. You just have to be "street smart" in order not to get ripped off. Anyway, there's still a lot of places you can see and go in the Philippines. So go back and enjoy!!

similar to my experience
Your experience is actually quite similar to mine in venezuela.. shit! The country absolutely sucks.. aside from the amazing natural beauty once you actually get out of the large cities. The people are completely miserable and the cops are probably the most dodgy I have ever encountered. My mate and I were also stopped by police on our first night in Caracas on the way to the bar. They, too, tried to make us admit we were taking drugs. And another time when we were taking a coach (which are always over-air conditioned) we got stopped at a military checkpoint and men with giant guns came to assess everyone on the bus - a bit freaky. There is violence everywhere and people always trying to con you. Cops for some reason are intent on going after young white woman who are coupled with native man. So be careful!!! On the plus side, I recommend you go to Mérida (close to Columbian border in the Andes mountains), and take the cable car to the peak of Bolivar! I think there is a face carved in the top of the mountain or something, which is well above the clouds with snow on top!

In between Travel
Couple of hours sitting on the dock of a boat, all night on the floor of an airport, 8 hours of various cramped uncomfortable awkward transport. Let me know when your ready to sail the Great Barrier Reef! Western tropical culture is sometimes worth the expense :) Stay safe and keep on enjoying the good bits! x

There is a ferry!
I visited a friend of mine in Trinidad last year who sailed over from the UK. I came from Tobago by boat, straining desperately to see Venezuela only seven miles away. Everybody was sick on the boat, and I didn't see even a glimpse of Venezuela. And now I find there's a ferry! Poo! I'll do it next time..

Jealous Much?!!!!
Well as always Ms Blackhole you have ruined my day!! Here I was, perfectly content in my shit job, looking outside at the shit rain in Manchester, thinking about what exciting meal i can cook up with a can of mushy peas, a tomato and some stale bread!

Glad you are enjoying it, just keep yourself safe missy and enjoy the ride!! ;) xxxxx
