Great read Really enjoyed reading this , the volcano must have been a captivating site to see , and while reading it I can only visualise what it was like ,most importantly there’s a lot of information for others that also wish to travel and share the same experience and how to go about it safely, which would be the key part form me . Beautiful photos help bring the story to life even more so , reading such an experience just makes you realise on how much there is to be seen on this planet of ours .
A nice take on the usual travel blog. I enjoyed the style, pace and content. You gripped me from the start until the end - a rarity with blogs these days.
Do not travel or Reconsider your need to travel? Travel is coloured by the characters you meet...sounds like El Salvador has colourful characters in spades. Fun blog Darren...an uneasy fun balancing intrigue with concern and paranoia... memories guaranteed to enure. Keep trucking!
Staring out to sea What a wonderful way to see in the New Year Darren. "Where were you for NY 2017?" one may ask..."Blue Hole Belize" may be your reply. Gotta admit it's got a great ring to it!!!
Croozing Great to hear you are back on the road getting back into what pockets of paradise have to offer. You are preceded by reputation Darren, so can we expect you are searching for the spectacular?
Hi Dave!! I will be looking for something different in Central America over the next 5 months, but I dont think it will be as adventurous as hitch hiking across africa. But you never know :-)

Hi Pajo Thank you for taking time to read my blog. It was certainly a very surreal and unique experience managing to get inside of the prison and meet people I would never normally meet or associate with. This blog has become somewhat of a hit on the internet with an unbelievable amount of emails following it up. Its nice to know so many people enjoy the read. I wrote this story immediately after leaving the prison so not to forget the details. I will leave it up to the readers if they wish to believe his tales or not, but I must be honest he was very convincing :-)
Stuart is a scumbag My girl and I worked in La Paz and Stuart used to frequent our bar, regaling us with tales of woe about his dead wife and how he was in Bolivia because his kids had sent him on a holiday to cheer him up. We were the ones that were contacted when Stuart was arrested. He claimed he had been set up at the airport. All of our friends in La Paz reckoned Stuart was lying, but the way we saw it was - he's an old dude that wouldn't survive a week in gen pop, so we paid for his initial cell. We were given a pass by the justice minister in La Paz, as Stuart's next of kin. As a result, we would get him groceries etc.
Jaques (another scumbag) one day told me that Stuart had been lying to us and had been guilty of his crime. I challenged Stuart and he swore blind that he would never do such a thing.
We left La Paz soon after, never finding out what happened to Stuart. A simple Google of his name revealed that Stuart is now the go-to guy at San Pedro, and reading the above blog, seems to consider himself an international smuggler of Tony Montana proportions.
Understand this - Stuart is a liar and a manipulator. If you want a tour of the prison, sure. But I wouldn't believe half of what he tells you. I'm sure Stuart is out by now and hopefully he has tried to maintain his smuggling career in a less hospitable country where they still have the death penalty, because he certainly took advantage of our trust.
If anyone should be getting cash for tours with Stuart, it should be me, as nobody wanted to go near the guy as soon as he was arrested.
Luckily life has treated me well since living in La Paz. I certainly hope the opposite has befell Stu.
Nice blog by the way!
scared well im french and recently married to an algerian women, we are both muslims and i was planning to travel in india with her but honestly now with all the raping stories we saw (both indian women and foreigner women, a swiss women has been raped by several mans and his husband hited near agra) and what i just read here about varkala well i dont want to go to india anymore at least not with my wife. what a shame, i like to live dangerously but alone, not with my sweetheart. its funny im a white guy converted to islam and was never scared to go to a country like india, in fact i was scared to go in a country like algeria. now its the opposite because when i visit algeria for the first time, i was alone and the travel has been cool, the people nice and they help you if you have problems. i know now im more in security in a country like algeria than in a country like india, the mentality is the big difference, not to say the religion but of course its related. i will be happy to go to india oneday but without my wife, i dont like all these place with "hippies" who takes hard drugs like alcohol, heroin or designer drugs ect.... i smoke pot for medical reason but i sick of all these junkies we saw everywhere, its because of people like that, people die in car accidents, women get rapped and governments put innocent cannabis growers and smokers in jail, this world is sick and the third world will not get better too. full moon shit and co, all of this because of spiritual emptiness... sorry for the little off track post but all is connected !
Hi Sirus There are problems but also beauty in Indian as in any part of the world. Please don't let my story scare you off India, its still full of amazing adventures, history and culture.
This was one of the many incidents that happened forming part of my experiences. I agree that the world is a little bit messed up where ever you go, but its also diverse and exciting. I would still visit again :-)
Majestic falls! I never realized how little I know about this country till I visited Zambia. enjoyed reading your blog, and knowing the Zambian side is more value for money. I didn't have the chance to cross to view the Falls from the Zimbabwe side. Saved me the $55! But I'm jealous you hiked down to Boiling Point. The photo from the 2 nd gorge is incredible!
big trouble in varkala hi all,the guy who used to run his cafe which used to sell drugs and spike drinks to cheat white girls now has a new bussiness with a couple who will be cheated soon called palm tree in varkala,he has so many cases pending in courts but these swiss people are dum to invest with him .
