Photo of the Day
The little mermaid gets what’s coming to her. Sadly no one told these backpackers they had to buy the candy separately :p

Heading to the beach
Caye Caulker, Belize
I filled my backpack and headed down to the pier in time for the noon ferry over to Caye Caulker, a little strip of land that I should probably have gone over to the week before if Vanessa hadn’t distracted me :p At least the weather seemed more reasonable, the water was even [...]

Back in the USA
Day 220
New York, NY
Thankfully felt a lot better after my trouble on the plane and managed to get my bags, onto the train into Penn Station and into a hostel. I didn’t feel like wandering all around Manhattan so looked up a hostel in Starbucks and wandered the few blocks to get to it. $48 [...]

Im on vacation!
Day 147 Santiparc Beach, Baja California, Mexico
Pat and Drake had made friends with an Israeli couple that were cycling south; we passed them 2 days before and they came over to have a go on the kayaks. I was mooching around the van, gluing flapping parts and spraying WD40 on rusty bits and messing up [...]

Never is a long time, maybe not long enough….
I went back to the cafe, I walked through the door and no thanks to US customs and immigration my bag was exactly where I left it. I was a fool, but a damn lucky one. The owner obviously knew about it but didn’t move it to somewhere safer, I thanked him all the same. [...]

I am NEVER going back to America again!
I sat in the queue for the US border and I wanted some chewing gum which was in my backpack. I looked behind me and then was gripped with sudden panic. It wasn’t in my car, half a second later I realised I had left it in the Internet Cafe! A camera worth $2k and [...]

Time to do something….
Day 121
If you’re wondering why there is a gap of 2 days in my blog then I can fill in the details pretty quickly. I spent 2 days doing pretty much nothing at all! Absolutely nothing! I lay in bed for 2 days, reading, playing Halflife, watching TV and trying not to freeze. Occasionally I [...]

What is the Spanish for ‘Happy New Year’ again?!?
Day 111 Monday
Chuidad Juarez
New years Eve was a quiet day for me, once again I phoned the insurance places which were closed and the family took us all out to lunch, to a Steak house…. Maybe I should repeat I don’t eat meat a little louder, although I thought we were going for Tacos… I [...]

Mexican Christmas
Day 104 : Juarez Mexico
It was Christmas Eve, my favourite time of the year…. Not. Its not that I hate Christmas but I think that its been perverted by capitalism. I’m not a Christian but I’m expected to celebrate it non the less. Sure there should be a time in the year for families to [...]

75:Ocean Park:Getting eaten…
No big surprise that I slept through my alarm at 8am and woke up bleary eyed and confused around 10.30am. So much for my resolution to do another long day on Sunday… At least I was alive, on the way in the night before I passed a huge correctional facility, but it seems there were [...]
