So the time had come to take a 3 week vacation in my native homeland of England. Other than my Mum, who had helped me organise it, only my cousin knew because she helped book a room in the same hotel as the olds. The secret was set, and the time was upon me toContinue reading “An Unexpected Holiday”

So going back a long time now, I was trying to work out what my next move was going to be and Medellin was the plan. That soon got put on hold as I became intrigued by the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, which is basically a big swamp between Barranquilla and Santa Marta. ItContinue reading “Heading South Through Colombia”

I have now been in Colombia for over 3 months which is the standard length of a tourist visa. However, for 96 mil pesos you can extend the visa by 3 more months with no questions asked or hassles caused. I will use the next 3 months to hopefully see the rest of Colombia awayContinue reading “Colombia´s Caribbean Coast”

I have made it through the busy season at Jungleland and the rain and customer numbers are starting to drop. With the dry season now behind us, the customers have dropped from a potential 100 per day (during spring break) to maybe 20 people, maybe nobody. With the tourists leaving, so have Shane, James andContinue reading “Finally South America”

Having had the amazing pleasure of seeing Mum and Dad over the New Year period, I thought it was only fair that you can get a perspective of Panama from someone else. Plus I am relatively lazy so I asked Mum to send me what she had written up about her trip. Before we getContinue reading “Mum and Dad in Panama!”

It has been a long time since the last time I wrote something but I feel now is a suitable moment to write something. One year ago today, I left England for Mexico with a girlfriend and a backpack full of things I didn’t need. One year later and I am waiting in Panama forContinue reading “Un Año Hoy!”

Bags packed and ready to move onto Playa San Diego, I awaited the arrival of the captain of the boat to arrive. The meet time was 10am but, as with the whole of Central America, it was bound to be a bit later than that. When he arrived, I said my goodbyes to everyone andContinue reading “Seeing more of Nicaragua”

Five months after originally planning to arrive there, we were eventually on our way to Nicaragua. It was our initial first stop but due to Visa issues and costs, for a changeover in America, we decided to fly to Mexico instead. After spending a few more days in San Pedro La Laguna, we made theContinue reading “Next to Nicaragua”

We had arranged to meet Flo and Owaine (or Flowaine for short) at the airport at 10am, which we did, but we were unable to leave the airport until much later due to Flo’s bag being left in America by the airline company. It fortunately arrived when they said it did but we ended upContinue reading “Flowaine’s Visit”

Having eventually made it to Metzabok, we were dropped off at the ladies house who owned the Eco-Touristic Centre, the only accommodation available in the community we were told. She told us that, currently, the centre was not running so we asked if we could camp there. She let us know that there was noContinue reading “Biosphere of Montes Azules – Part Deux”
