Hacking my maps
Day 196
Morelia, Mexico
I spent 2 days messing about with my maps, getting them linked to my blog posts, and its been a minor nightmare. Its not good to have to edit them manually so I’ve been working on automating the whole process through macros. After much effort I finally succeeded and so now I only [...]

I’m going home….
Day 194

I bought a flight back to the UK today. I guess I had no choice, who else would be my Brothers best man? :p So on the 22nd of April I will be flying up to New York for 4 days before heading back over the Atlantic for 3 1/2 weeks. I’m not [...]

The Mexican Mirror Scam
Day 192
Guadalaraja, Mexico
I finally got some new mirrors so I’m gonna be out of here tomorrow. With Easter making all the shops close for a week I didn’t want to have a 400km journey over to Morelia with no mirrors, or even my little hand held mirror taped on… I went down to the ‘Spare [...]

Merry Easter
Day 188
Guadalajara, Mexico

Bloody kids!
Day 182
Guadalajara, Mexico
I go outside to my car and find some ass-masters have stolen the glass in my rear view mirrors! I thought about getting mad but then…. they’re only mirrors…

Wandering around Guadalajara
Day 181
Guadalajara, Mexico
I was getting close to finishing off the current book I’m reading, an Umberto Eco novel called ‘The island of yesterday’ which was a tour de force of brilliance but was slightly distracting in my quest to be a tourist. I must try not to read when I wake up as there is [...]

Time to leave
Day 179
San Blas, Mexico
Everyone had gone! Even the two American girls camping under Cabana had left, heading into town for a hotel room before their early morning bus ride, there was only the German group left and they weren’t too keen on speaking in English all day. Maybe I should have gone to Sayalita with [...]
