Nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana, Batman!
Day 312
Semuc Champey, Guatemala
I was at “the most beautiful place in Guatemala” but it didn’t quite seem like that. After my exhausting trip there I slept for 14 hours and decided I would go to the waterfalls of Semuc Champey in the afternoon. The weather conspired against me on that front as a black cloud [...]

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 [...]

Chilling by the beach
Belize
Just a quick update while I wait for my turn on the connection. I’m currently about to leave Hopkins in the middle of Belize with a charming American girl (they do exist!) called Vanessa on a trip back to the north to see some caves, temples and wildlife. Staying on the beach wasn’t a great [...]

More ruins
After breakfast I took advantage of the break in the weather to finally see the nearby ruins of Palenque. It was pretty quiet up there, I just wandered around on my own, happily snapping away.
When I got back I changed accommodation to the Jungle Lodge. There was no difference in price to Rakshitas but at [...]

Still alive
Zipolite, Mexico

Not been doing much. Yesterday I went on the Crocodile tour at a nearby swamp which was [...]

Looking for a shower
Day 160
Los Barilles, BCS, Mexcico
Roland had most of the shade under the campsite tree and hence was getting more sleep than me, I got up at 9.30 as usual when the suns heat on the tent became unbearable and went to work on my latest obsession, putting the date information on my GPS track. Using [...]

Shocking roads
Day 158
Somewhere in Baja California Sur
After getting gas and not having to worry about driving like a maniac the dusty, sandy road we had attempted the previous day didn’t seem to bad. We soon learned our mistake in that the road was really only rocky at the start, there were plenty of campsites soon after [...]
