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 [...]

Who’s that girl?
I met this girl in Hong Kong a few years ago and lost her email address. She was working as a teacher in Shanghai and invited me to come live with her. Her name was Divine Maxine, or Maxine Divine.
Pity.

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 [...]

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 [...]

The end of the Sur
Day 155
Los Cabos, BCS, Mexico
We finally got as far south as we could in Baja California today, the place known as Los Cabos, the 2 towns furthest down the coast. Tourist city? Traveller hell? The highrises, hotels, expensive bars and the nightmare that is the Hard Rock Cafe all gave it away as hell [...]

Getting warmer!
Day 148 La Paz, Baja, Mexico
The sun beat down on the van that morning and eventually my deeper part of my brain told me that I was sweating to death in a down sleeping bag, in a roasting van. I crawled out of my sleeping bag which gave me some respite for a few minutes [...]

Larento
Day 149
Larento, BCS, Mexico
The plan called for a 9am start to drive the convoy south but I still didn’t have a new tire. Leaving Sheena and Pat at the beach Drake followed me back up Mulege to get a new tire. The first place said they could get one for me if I wanted to [...]

Splashing around the SuperBowl
Day 146 Santiparc Beach, Baja California, Mexico
I got my chance on the kayak in the morning which was great. The sea was calm, there was no wind and the water was clear enough to see a few fish. Drake had already headed out while I was eating breakfast so I was slightly unsure of [...]
