Photo of the Day
In Mexico Cities biggest market the animals face a grim future but at least these chicks are still alive. Many of the cages were filled with dead animals and few had water in the searing heat.

Hunting the elusive Manatee
Caye Caulker, Belize
Well, I enjoyed the Sea Hawk snorkeling trip so much I went again, I even got a discount, but then I figured I could have gone diving for a few dollars more… oops!. Maybe this time I would get lucky with the Manatees!

A week on a Caribbean Island
Caye Caulker, Belize
One week would never be enough but it would have to do. Caye Caulker isn’t the ‘la isla bonita’ Madonna sings about but it was a beautiful spot all the same. The time was right, I arranged to take Katrijn and Eva over to Flores in Guatemala and just about managed to catch [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

On the way back we stopped at Puerto Angel and anchored out in the harbour was the Catamaran : Java. The same boat Kira [...]

Just a short stay on the beach
Zipolite, Mexico
I spent the day just hanging out, exploring the town or rather village. The water was semi fierce, safer than Puerto Escondido though and it was famed for its liberal attitudes to nudism. If middle aged ugly people want to get naked that’s fine with me, I can always look at my book.
This was [...]
