» Flashback: Livingstone, Guatemala
Heading to my next stop involved a hour and a half ferry ride across the bay. I was looking forward to visiting the town of Livingstone which was a heavy Garifuna (Black-Caribes who were transplanted from the island of St. Vincent back in the colonia

» Hola Guatemala: Puerto Barrios
What a painless border crossing. I am very enthused about this CA-4 agreement. One stop at the immigration to let them know I am jumping ship and off I go to Guatemala. Painless. Even changing money at the border was painless, I think I got more t

» Iran Futsal Team Win FIFA Confederations Cup
Alright! In these low days of our football, we at least have our Futsal team to make us proud. Iran Futsal team, the reigning ...

» So Much Hoopla
After all the effort to get out of Honduras in case something happened that prevented leaving, nothing came of the coup in Utila and Roatan during the time I would have been there. The rest of the tour went back to the mainland, took a van to Copan, wen

» ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzz
What a boring game. If you fell asleep, good for you. If you were unfortunate like me and watched the whole thing...that's a good part ...

» My last two weeks in pictures
Some photos for me mam. A mayan lady selling trinkets in Chichicastenango Just a couple of the many masks available to buy at the market. Lauren contemplates the full meaning of the words Rain Forrest Tikal Some bird I saw g

» Flores, Tikal and Lanquin - yes, I´ve lazily avoided posting for the past few days
Spent the last few days up in Flores, a picturesque island that boasts being the capital of the Peten province. It really is lovely and the lake surrounding it is large and clear but it is spoiled slightly by the fact that every third shop is an internet

» Took the overnight, didn´t die
Much literature has been published from a combination of embassies and travel guides warning about traveling at night. The overwhelming majority (aka all) of which strongly advises against overnught travel even with the luxury ´1st class´busses. Still,

» Back again II
Once again, I have been horribly neglectful of this travel blog, though I have done my fair share of traveling (considering I'm still in residency.) Just got back from a trip down to Guatemala, which was phenomenal. So in the spirit of "whatever works

» The final stretch
Yesterday marked exactly three weeks until we step off the plane in England. I´m not sure how I feel about this just yet, it´s been a long time since I´ve been home after all. One thing about knowing I´m home soon, is that, largley due to a severe

» Chichitenago
Visited Guatemala´s biggest market today, it was alright, a little meh. The main problem with markets of nearly any size is that they do their best to imitate an old cartoon show. That is to say, when Scoobie and the gang run away from the crazy amuzemen

» I Survived!
Totally forgot to mention but on my first night here in San Pedro I survived my first ever earthquake. Alright, so it was so weak that I thought it might have been the people in the room below us slamming their door. (Subsequently disproved when the pe

» San Pedro´s Hippy Community
San Pedro is a pretty swell place. Sort of. There´s loads of bars here and new age things that I know my mum, a reiki master, would love. The locals all say a friendly ´beunos dias´to you as you pass, but here lies the rub. It is pretty difficult to

» Disaster only narrowly averted
The past 24 hours saw me entertaining thoughts of boiling lake water to use as drinking water, catching fish with my bare hands and having to hollow out a street dog to sleep inside of to fend off the cold of night. I am talking, of course, about being

» A great day for my personal style
Yesterday, not only did I finally purchase a hat worth writing home (or at least on the internet) about, but something else wonderful happened. I bought myself a massive white cowboy hat yesterday. It is awesome. Lauren also now owns a rather large, ye
