Post 300

Day 320
Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
300 posts eh?
Yesterday I felt really bad. I was supposed to be getting up at 5.30 and hiking up to a lake for 2 hours. After tossing and turning until 3.30 and then only getting a couple of hours sleep, combined with a muffled headache and sore throat I reset my alarm and [...]

The tragedy and the Irony* : Facebook sucks.

Caye Caulker,
My mum doesn’t facebook. She’s one friend I don’t need to add. She can read my blog to find out what I’m up to since I now don’t really do much email. That’s fine, facebook is personal.
Yesterday three girls from England arrive in the afternoon. I told them I was Swedish to appear more [...]

Still alive

Zipolite, Mexico
I came to Zipolite just for one day on the way to San Cristobal and ended up staying 8 nights. Its nice, the weather has been great, the water warm, the tourists naked, why shouldn’t I stay longer.
Not been doing much. Yesterday I went on the Crocodile tour at a nearby swamp which was [...]

Jungle boogie

Ziplote, Mexico
It was time to eat pizza, drink $1 Mezcal and dance in the local disco. So thats what we did. And after watching our new Australian friends embarrass themselves on the dance floor I was so glad I went for some salsa lessons.

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 [...]

The Three (drunken) Amigos!

Day 161
Los Mochis, Mexico
Even though it was Saturday I had to get up and move my van from outside Roberto’s office. I shouldn’t complain since he was kind enough to lock it up for me overnight but I hate to get up, especially since I had won the toss with Roland and snagged the bed. [...]

Looking for a puncture

Day 161
Los Barilles, BCS, Mexico
God it was hot! Happily I had camped closest to the wall and didn’t have too much sun on my tent in the morning, but I woke as usual at 9.30am and prepared myself for the day. After 4 days of being stinky I had another shower but only for pure [...]

Gringos Locos

Day 156
Los Cabos, BCS, Mexico
The local friendly Canadian tourist information neighbour had some tips for us when we were making our coffee in the morning. She had 4 dogs and many complaints about the nearby puppy farm. I wanted to ask her why she had one of their puppies herself but didn’t dare. She was [...]
