So.... we left Flores tired, hot, but at least we didnt miss the bus, and we got to witness the most amazing electrical storm! we headed South, away from the heat, which was recorded at about 37 celsius. We also escaped a jaded, dope fiend Canadian at our hostel, AND, another Canadian, who had a story for every occassion as he reckoned he was a travel writer....i have sold a picture, that doesnt make me a travel photographer....you'd understand if you met him...so what is it with the Canadians!! We stopped off en route at a little petrol station at this [View Full Entry]

Beinvenido, ¿como esta? i just wanted to use an upside down question mark :o) well, i've been awake since about 4a.m. We had booked a sunrise tour to Tikal, but as with the other thing i wanted to see at Palenque, it didnt work out, the alarm didnt function as it should, so we missed it, and in the process blew 15$. A typically successful effort, and we cant go during the day as its sooooo hot, even the locals are sweating, and you just cant move, let lone clamber around on ruins, so we'll either have to come back or [View Full Entry]

Right, so we have better computers, so HOPEFULLY some pictures will accompany this little entry, but dont blame me if i have spoken too soon. At the moment, we're in a river valley town called San Ignacio, up in the hills, and had hoped the weather would be less stifling, but oh no, its probably worse becuase being in a bowl, the breeze isnt as stiff as you'd like, so i have had about 4 showers today, and will be having at least 2 more by sleep time! We left Placencia on another little plane, much fun, was a clearer day [View Full Entry]

Yep its me...Nick is still battling with a tummy bug. It appears the carribean food and beer remedy we were trying wasnt working, therefore it is nil by mouth, except for water, fruit and rehyrdation sachets. The centre of the village, where the shops and internet are etc is a good mile round trip and not wise for Nick to do in the current heat. Fortunately/or unfortunately for me, my stomach appears to be "embracing" the carribean culture...therefore the walk will do me good!! Today is the hottest day we have had so far and it is hot hot hot. Placencia [View Full Entry]

I have tried twice now to add photos of where we are, but the world changing technology of the net doesnt seem so world changing here, so no can do, and i dont expect it will get any better further on, so sorry! ps, the weather has turned, buffeted by winds (i say its nearly a hurricane, T doesnt quite agree!) and rain like you've never seen! at last though, proper weather, none of the shades of grey!!

Hello, Tracey has been booted off for a lacklustre performance last time, so stuck with me for now..... Finally escaped Mexico, with most of my intestines in tact, huzAAR, though its still lingering around. but where i am now, i couldnt care, glorious sun, beaches and the Carribean sea, nice and toastie! So, Mexico. MXC was pretty good, apart from the guys playing there Harmonipan, some kind of wind up noise machine that just, well, made an excuse for music that hurt the head a lot! And the shere number of police, wow. The Daily Mail readers would rejoice, bobbies on [View Full Entry]

Hello hello, this is guest author Tracey, due to the fact Nick is currently having to stay close to a toilet...the first casualty of a dodgy tummy! I cant decide whether is it due to a bug he picked up or that fact they drizzle, sprinkle and coat most food in a chilli based product... Since the last update, we recovered in Mexico City for a day or two...did the typical tourist thing and spent the day on a hop on hop off bus...very nice indeed and we managed to leave the city all in tact. We then flew down to [View Full Entry]

Hola! Well, first things first, B.A. I yearn for the day old Branson see´s through his Bond villain fantasies and takes overthe world... 10 hours between meals?? headphones sockets that at best make XLAir look like business travel, and oh oh OH the person being sick next to us from the get go! i reckon Albanian folk music travels better. Second things last, Mexico City hostel. Interesting. After the Death Race 2000 in a B.A Baracus van to get here, we were pleasantly suprised by the ok location,considering we were slowing down in the biggest red light district i´ve ever seen [View Full Entry]

Hullo, This is a tester entry on my soon to be regular item to see if all you lovely people get notified an entry has been made. If it doesnt, its rubbish, if it does, hello again. Italic Text Read the introduction on the profile to get gist of what this is all about (sorry it couldnt be longer!??). Italic Text I may be jumping the gun ala dwane chambers on EPO, but 4 weeks isnt that long really....just think, in that time, the Millenium Bug came and went like a crook in the night, Saints got rubbish(er) at football, England [View Full Entry]
