My daily routine in Xela
Day 341
Xela, Guatemala
I’ve been here for three weeks now studying and my days are pretty much the same. I wake up at 7.30am, eat breakfast and walk the 50 meters to the school around the corner. I get a cup of coffee and sit studying Spanish until 10am when there is more coffee and usually [...]

Another lazy weekend
Day 334
Xela, Guatemala
Well I seem to have gotten my site back to 100%, the RSS feeds were broken for a week and I couldn’t upload anything using Windows Live Writer either. Seems the problem was some blank lines in my various PHP files. I’ve been messing around trying to get a ‘digg this’ button on [...]

Belize without a map
Belize City, Belize
I finally got my oil changed on my last day in Mexico. I rotated the tyres, changed the air and oil filter and had a confusing conversation about the fuel filter in Spanish. I didn’t care I didn’t understand any more, it was time for country number four on my world tour. After [...]

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. [...]

Blog day
Day 159
Los Arbolitos Beach, BCS, Mexico
It seemed like I didn’t do much but I sat and tried to get up to date with my missing blog entries. I was on about 28 days and still had notes to fill out from before New Years Eve… How did I get so far behind? Laziness and laziness [...]

Time for the beach
Day 153
South of Todos Santos, BCS, Mexico
It was time to say ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to Mike and find some surf. Sheena was gone and she had left me with a German! But Roland was turning out to be more fun than Sheena and certainly less stressful. Stress is one thing I don’t need The plan [...]

Happy Birthday to me and 150 days away…
Day 150
La Paz, Mexico
Today was a day for doing pretty much… Nothing! I played my guitar for a bit, wrote my blog, took a few photos in the garden and wondered where Sheena had gone.
Later another couchsurfer turned up, Roland from Germany and we persuaded him to come out for a drink with us in [...]

Travel scrabble??
Day 127 Tucson AZ
I spent most of the day installing Ubuntu on my laptop which worked without a problem but getting it to connect to the Internet wasn’t happening. The wireless drivers for this Aspire 5520 don’t work natively and I couldn’t get the madwifi drivers to work or ndiswrapper. No sound either but I [...]
