WOW!
How lucky you are to have had these amazing encounters in places where the average tourist never goes. The Banana Man looked like he had been smoking the peels. Intense looking guy.Even the horse looked bad ass. A phone booth? Did it work? Was there graffiti written all over the inside of it? The pix are just breathtaking!

The phone booth did work, AND there was no graffiti in it or anything......probably the nicest phone booth in that hemisphere.

No helmet this time, either? Where did I go wrong?
It's comforting to know you were thinking of me at the moment you thought you were about to die. Love, MomXXXOOOXXX

Hiking Alone
How was the trip down? Fast? or did you climb up over the presipice from which you were hanging, change your shorts and head down? Are you coming home for the family reunion in July or still thinking about it? Just wondering....Love Ya, Aunt Pauline

The trip down took the same amount of time, with a little more caution haha. I didn't get the memo about the family reunion!?--fill me in and I'll see what I can do.. I'd love to make it back.

Thanks for following--I had one of those gorilla pod tripods for my camera-you can make it stand straight anywhere and on anything, and I used the self-timer on the camera. Yep, sure did haha.

snakes in paradise
I like your blog. Interesting, informative, witty and well-written. Found you when googling my friend George Ellis, the snake catcher of Byron Bay. He has picked up over 3000 (yes, three thousand) deadly Eastern Brown Snakes in Byron Bay. People get bitten in the main street. Seriously. If you laid out all the snakes George has caught, nose to tail, they'd stretch over ten kilometres. Six miles. Yours is the only mention of our deadly secret that I've seen on the internet. Well done. And, a few years ago a Canadian (Hi Trevor!) forgot what side of the road we drive on, and we hit head-on around a blind corner, at speed. Broke my ankles, wrists, knees etc but Trevor got more pins and plates than me. I'm pretty good at wheelstanding my wheelchair, but walk fine and got my paragliding licence since then. Remember, the steering wheel belongs near the middle of the road. If you saw a landsailer on the wide, white beaches, tearing up the sand on a windy day, that was probably me. I race kiteboards down the beach, them in the shallows, me on the sand, and they look fantastic from a speeding landsailer. Another good thing about the beach, it's easier to see the snakes and avoid them. It's a long life, quickly over. Enjoy!

What, no helmet?
No knee pads? My heart is in my throat thinking of it! When I was much younger, I thought I'd love to do that, but I'm over it. I'll stay here, safe on the couch, and keep up with your shenanigans. Thanks for the thrill. XXXOOOXXX

Magical is a perfectly good word.
It would take a bit of magic for most of us to experience this. Spectacular, stunning, truly amazing - all good words to describe it.

Amazing....
Conor - so amazing. This would have been a dream for me. Always on the list of things to do or see. So happy for you that you got to experience this. Makes it all worth it, right? And I can assure you - there are no whale sharks in Lake Erie or Boston ;)
