So i eventually managed to drift off at gone 11pm last night and apart from briefly waking up during the night virtually alept through till 8.40 am so i may eventually catch my sleep up. I decided that today was the day i would go to Tierra Del fuego, but i wanted to make sure my passage out of Ushuaia was booked as some places can booked out and then you have to wait days and i do not want to stay here longer than i need to as i have other places to see, Lonely planet says hostel dorms are [View Full Entry]

So after my last blog, i headed off to the airport driven by Lou´s dad and Lou´s mum stayed at home and gave me a massive hug before i went and i got to the airport and Lou and Her dad waited on me checking in and hugged me and said i had a family and a home in Mexico whenever i want it, which was really sweet and i felt a little upset at leaving as they were wonderful and yet also excited to go to South America. So i went through and no mention of a departure tax, ill [View Full Entry]

Luckliy im here with Lou and her family and i was dosed up with Imodium, Peptol Bismol and Furoxona which is an anti-biotic, we headed out for breakfast and i felt like i was going to hurl at any moment, which was [View Full Entry]

So Yesterday was for all intense purposes a complete washout i did hardly anything of real note, i had a lie which was great and id imagine it recharged my batterys, but as Lou and her mum had things to do i spent most of the day watching TV or on the internet. We briefly headed out for lunch and went to another supermarket, so thats four in Mexico City now, however i found out that the local tax office is on the top floor of the supermarket which is a very weird set up, but hey its Mexico and they [View Full Entry]

So again no lie in today but im use to my peculiar body clock now, something im not sure i mentioned but here in Mexico city the temp drops at night so i have a thin duvet, blanket and sheet at night as appose to a sheet in the south as it was so hot at night and you needed a fan on. So i went through the usual routine of showering etc and then it was breakfast time and breakfast was fruit covered in yougurt followed by french toast and various other things as breakfast in Lou's house is never [View Full Entry]

So today i was woken by Lou's mum drilling someones teeth, ooh that sound goes right through me, i had a bit more sleep today, again as usual my stomach still is not right but i think ive put that down to the damn malaria pills and of course im out of the area and still taking them as i have to take them for 4 weeks, so 14th March i can finally stop taking them, i know malaria aint nice but these drugs have not been kind to me either. Lou was doing some Uni work and so i had [View Full Entry]

So today was suppose to be a lie in, but someone forgot to tell my bodyclock that and when i got to the main appartment Lou's mum was just up and Lou and her brother were still in bed.....lol. A little later breakfast followed and this consisted of melon and gayaub (not sure if the spelling is right) and then various maize dishes, i lose track now of hurchaos and quesidillas and tortillas and all the variations and sweet bread and hot strawberry milk, a very large and filling breakfast and Lou's mum made sure i had plenty.....hehe. We then headed [View Full Entry]

So my body clock seems to be at odds with the rest of me and i ended up getting up at 7.20am, ohh what id swap for a lie in......lol, maybe its the foreign air or i was just born if a dodgy body clock or maybe its cause im a little bit crazy, a gemini or year of the dragon or maybe its all these time zones....lol.
