The sun setting on the last day at Caye Caulker, Belize....the edge of the world
Ok so, its been a while since we last talked....so sorry for that but i think that its been a break well deserved from the annoying multi page ramblings of a man most of you cant really remember, and most just know as that annoying guy who never really shuts the hell up....

Anyway, Im in Belize after another summer at camp...never thought i would see that place again, but thankful that i did, turns out that this year was just as good as last despite what people have told me about the aparent second year blues.... people were great the kids were awesome, it didnt rain at all...so i had to do some work which many of you from last year would remember is all i did then also.....

From camp we travelled with a group of 14 of the greatest aussies and 2 ring in poms...which we fashioned into aussies....We went to Mexico straight away and spent the first week on the beach and seeing some of the local sights and catching up with places that i remembered from last year....( remeber the tacos in playa, goodo and dougs???)

We ended up staying at the hostel and catching up on sweet times with a bottle or ten of carribean rum and pineapple juice...

The next day we boated over to Caye Caulker about an hour and a half by speed boat to an island pronounced ´key´ caulker, which was the most laid back place i have ever been to...the sun rose on one side of the island and set about 300 metres across the other side...it was a great time.....

Well thats all for now old mates will

Duggan you stinger, think its absolutely ridiculous that you get to be off sunning it with crazy sunsets, while i sit in the land of the rain (yes it is very cold and wet). Love the photo of the tennis boys though. Keep on raging for now, see you in the new year
