Folks, I have to start with an apology. I know I said Iwas going to tell you all about my first day, but I've decided against that. It went by in a whirl of jet lagged paper work and trying to learn an awful lot very quickly. So sufficeto say - tired, didn't listen, got pissed, had monumental hangover. Wished I was dead! Yesterday I had my first shoot in one of the ships dining rooms (the Coral - as in sea life, not rodeo) Which was to say the least, knackering! Walking round to a hundred or so tables with a dozen folk round each pretending you're bight breezy and enjoying yourself got a wee bit tedious. And, as I yelled at the umpteenth eejit who asked me "NO I AM NOT FROM FUCKING AUSTRALIA!!!" ... read more


Olen nyt perillä Antiguassa! Eilen tuli muutos suunnitelmiin, kun Arturolle tuli työesteita, eikä se pääse lähtemään vasta kun ehkä torstaina.. Jos silloinkaan! En siis jäänyt odottelemaan, vaan menin ostamaan samantien bussilipun tänne Antiguaan. Ostin lipun yöbussiin joka lähti Floresista klo.23.00. Pikainen kamojen pakkaus ja sit olikin lahtö. Bussi oli ykkösluokan bussi täällä, mutta samanlainen siis mitä meillä on suomessa pidemmillä matkoilla. Hullu ilmastointi oli päällä melkein koko matkan, meinas tulla vilu vaikka olikin pitkähihanen paita ja farkut päällä! Matka kesti 7 tuntia Guatemala cityyn, siellä oltiin siis aamulla klo.6.00. Siellä olikin odottamassa jo seuraava pienempi bussi joka toi mut Antiguaan. Täällä on todella hienot maisemat! Tulivuori näkyy taustalla.. Tykkäsin Antiguasta heti kun tulin tänne! Täällä on tosi vihreet... read more


SALINAS - Puerto Rico Central America Caribbean » Puerto Rico By MOANAMay 22nd 2007France et Guy Notre priorité aujourd'hui est de réparer le dingy qui a une fuite; il ne faut pas oublier que c'est notre véhicule et qu'il faut en prendre bien soin... Après le lunch nous avons sorti nos équipements d'apnée et nous nous sommes rendus au large de la baie de Ricon. C'est superbe. Vers 16 heures, nous avons visité l'atelier de réparation de voiles. Nous avions rendez-vous avec le groupe de bateaux pour le souper au restaurant Cruser Gally; menu complet pour seulement 6.95$ par personne et c'était délicieux. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir en compagnie de gens tout... read more

After a long and late night of DJing for the teen dance, hitting up the crew bar, dancing in the disco and staying up late down in crew cabins, Michelle and I managed to drag ourselves out of bed this morning and tendered to shore in Georgetown, Grand Cayman. I was on a mission to buy my personal Grand Cayman souvenir - a carved wooden stingray I'd seen weeks earlier when I wandered around Georgetown with Brooks. We went to the market area, disappointingly didn't succeed and spent some time in a few shops until I get everything sorted. I don't want to spend any time my last cruise shopping, just enjoying the ports, so between last week and today, I should be in pretty good shape. The two of us then headed to Treasure Island, ... read more

My Friend and Escort on the Reef While Jenny built a sandcastle in the black sand of Playa Negra, this canine stood sentinel. Then Jen sent her off to check up on me, and then I had a new friend.Travelling around this wonderful country has taught us some interesting things about ourselves, chiefly among which we are mountain people as opposed to beach people. Not that we don't like the beach, because it's great, but we feel more at home in the mountains. There just seems to be more to see and do. And it's cheaper. The trip here was very neat, with waterfalls cascading down through the greenery along the roadside. Though it was tough to catch much of them as the bus careened along at a breakneck pace. We went through miles and ... read more

Hi all, Sorry I've been out of touch - 2 out of my 2 fans have chastised me for running late on my next entry so here goes! For this entry I thought I would share with you some of the flowers that are thrive on the Caribbean side - Haven't got names yet...but I will work on that! The end of March (Marzo) was busy. We had a group of 10 women rent the house for 2 weeks. This meant that Andrew and I had to vacate. Preceding their arrival, I cleaned and prepped for them. We made a list of does and don't's! Even though I've been here almost 7 months, Americans still surprise me. Since neither Andrew and I were going to be here we had a neighbor serve as liaison for ... read more

So we decided to take the trip to Lago Atitlan, we get picked up by our bus one time, amazingly enough, after picking up a busload of people in Antigua we head to the lake, little did we know our driver would try to pass every car on the road, ya no big deal right, how about when going uphill and on a curve, apparently though hes not the only one, anyways the kicker to the ride was when Milly Vanilly came on i mean yes it couldnt get better than that. We were going to go to santa cruz but then a boat full of people were going to san marcos so we joined them, for about 4$ we took a boat across the lake, all we had heard of san marcos was that ... read more

Nous arrivons au petit village de Salinas sur la côte sud de Puerto Rico, Position : 17-57-39 N par 66-17-52 W. Un village où les navigateurs sont très bien accueillis - ils nous disent clairement que nous les faisons vivre... La baie est protégée par des mangroves, avec une jolie marina, piscine et tous les services ; de plus, l'eau est gratuite et à volontée. C'est un endroit de protection contre les ouragans. Pour cette raison le village a fait des investissements car les bateaux qui viennent vivre ici pendant la saison des ouragans ont des besoins particuliers; les services sont donc axés sur ces besoins. Quincaillerie, Boulangerie, Epicerie, Marine store, restaurants, piscine, motel de luxe, plage superbe et j'en passe. Hier, mon lavage a été fait par une jeune portoricaine du nom de Gina, ... read more

Hi Everyone!! Finally iv arrived in Guadeloupe, an amazing island in the middle of the carribean!! Please excuse the typos as im using a european keyboard which is different to those in Aus! Where do I begin, so far iv been to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York and Puerto Rico! Los Angeles wasnt exactly the glam I expected of Hollywoods "Hub" in the world! The Hostel we stayed at though pretty much made our time there... LA is pretty dirty and dingy to put it mildly...although the people where surprisingly very nice considering the number of tourists wandering around. Hollywood Boulevard where we stayed was always alive at night and looked like a hole by day but admittedly the best entertainment was by far watching the "excentric" characters that seemed to be everywhere in ... read more

Viimeinen kirjoitukseni Floresista! uuu.. Joo, Lauantaina lähdettiin ajamaan kohti Yaxhaa iltapäivällä. 5 ihmistä sulloutu sisälle Arturon pickuppiin ja 4 henkeä lavalle tavaroiden kanssa. Kun päästiin perille niin kehiteltiin meille "leiri" sinne. Siinä sitten istuttiin iltaa, ja mukaan tuli myös Yaxhan arkeologeja. Yön nukuin riippumatossa! Oli yllättävän mukavaa nukkua siinä.. Sunnuntaina siellä alueella oli mm. jalkapallopelejä. Käytiin edellisyönä katsomassa keittiössä kun kokit työskentelivät yötä myöten.. Sunnuntaina piti olla ruokaa 200 hengelle. Kaikki Yaxhassa työskentelevät olivat siis sunnuntaina juhlimassa! Istuskeltiin siellä juhlahumussa iltapäivään asti, ja sitten lähdettiin ajamaan takasin Floresiin kun Muelle piti avata klo.17. Eilen illalla sen jälkeen kun Muelle meni kiinni, menin Arturolle, jossa oli porukkaa kokkaamassa! Pastaa ja kukkasia! Ne kukat ostettii... read more
