Photo of the Day
Having a huge digger come off the road right in front of us only slowed us slightly. More enterprising people cleared a path on the left and everyone carried on as normal.

Photo of the Day
When its hot and the beach is dangerous, even a budget traveler is well advised to get a place with a pool.

My New Spanish School
Day 322
Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
I’m on day 2 of my Spanish language lessons and I’m quite happy with my progress. It seems I haven’t been quite so lazy after all and have been slowly absorbing the language during my time in Mexico. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.
My teacher Rosario is a cute little lawyer in [...]

The day of the ‘Black Cloud’
Day 316

The road to Heaven
Day 310
Semuc Champey, Guatemala
I had to wait to pass a couple of buses filled with curious locals to survey the damage. Somehow the genius of Bills repair had held. No oil was coming out and I could continue. At least until I hit another big rock.
Nothing was going to stop the sun from setting though [...]

Fixing my car
Day 308
Flores, Guatemala
My car had been making some scrapping noises in Belize when I was driving with Vanessa, seems like the brakes were on the way out. Stupidly I only just thought about getting them fixed since I was always giving lifts to people. I had a very hot day over the bridge with the [...]
