Nous sommes un peu loin du village sur l'autre pointe,Punta Jacinta. Demain nous repartirons certainement vers ou le vent nous mènera pour une autre journée de rêve. Le départ se fait le matin vers 6 heures, le petit déjeuner se prend en route sur la gite et par la ... read more

Oh the puns that are made in Belize! I saw this one today and thought “yup, that’s the title of today’s blog!”. Today was Bronwyn and Jackie (spa girls)’s day off. Last week they were telling me how they really wanted to do something in Belize besides eat at the port and I was telling them about how there are so many incredible tours in Belize. Due to various logistics/rules, we wouldn’t be able to do a Carnival excursion, so I said I’d try to organize one through the taxi/guide association. So today, the three of us girls, along with Marvin and Ryan (musicians in the showband) went on a private tour. Our guide, Phil, was fantastic. He pointed out all of the usual sites along the way that I’m now accustomed to seeing having been ... read more

HI Everyone, I am writing this from about 20,000 feet well above the city of Managua in Nicaragua. It feels kinda weird to be writing a blog entry up here but anyways hopefully I can make you feel like you are up in the air with me. At the moment we are passing over Lago Nicaragua, which is surrounded by a myriad of Volcano’s and then on the other side of the Volcano’s is lots and lots of savannah and farmland. Why am I up in the air high over Nicaragua you ask? Well I am flying back from a wonderful four-day stay in Guatemala, at Lake Atitilan, which is about 2 hours out of Guatemala City. When one of my mates suggested I venture up for a few days to race in the Guatemalan ... read more

If It Ain´t Broke, Don´t Fix It Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Samara By TicoTime May 16th 2007 Dolphin, off the Port Bow! They were just too cool.Hello All, We´re still loving our time on the beach here in Samara, and when we realized how sad we were about having to leave, we decided to stay another day. The thought of camping amid torrential downpours, mud, humid tropical heat and most of all, bugs that are out of this world, we made the decision to abort our planned camping trip to Corcovado. Which is somewhat disappointing but we figured after being forced down from Cerro Chato we could end up having a similar experience. And it takes a day of travel on the bus from San Jose to get there (after staying overnight) and ... read more
