  • Fair warning this one is a bit of a rant post. Hola todos. Just a quick one I ended up bailing on Santa Marta after one night. No real reason why just simply was not feeling the vibe and didn’t want to carry on up into hippy country so out I got on an early…

  • Hola todos. Here is the blog for Day 3, the last day in Cartagena. I started out rather late and decided to after some thinking head for Santa Marta. I’ve booked a hostel and bus for tomorrow so what now then? Well I decided to go out back into the old city and walk the…

  • Hola todos. Day 2 in Colombia! Que chévere! To skip over mundane details I get up reasonably early, have breakfast and move my bags over to the new hostal. While I’m there I actually end up having a good chat with Mrs lady who runs the gaff and turns out she’s really into her history…

  • Hola todos de nuevo! Been a few days hasn’t it? I’m writing this one on my last night in Cartagena, Colombia 🇨🇴. It’s safe to say it has been a somewhat messy landing here without much of a plan, you see right now there is a bit of a gap in the Calendar, you see…

  • Hola a todos! As I am transiting through from Panamá city to Colombia I am taking the time to write a little bit of a post mortem blog on the Centroamérica leg of this adventure to sum things up much like we did Mexico. So to begin what to way about the countries we’ve been…

  • Exploring Panama city – Antiguo y Nuevo! Hola a todos. So these last few days we’ve been recuperating in Panama city. This place has been quite the oasis actually and been good to unwind from that nightmare couple of days and still have time and energy to do things. The first thing was, as per…

  • Hola todos! I ended up staying 2 nights in Bocas del Toro but really not got much to say since that extra day was just spent sleeping with some lunchtime boozing some more sleeping and some more boozing. I was physically and mentally fried and needed a day of doing nothing productive. Had I been…

  • Hola todos. Today, Monday the 1st Dec we finally start our way out of San Jose! It was a 5am start and I was up in good order showered and packed and ready to go… I even celebrated by cracking open the last tinnie I had in the fridge for breakfast. Downstairs we soon went…

  • San Jose……….shit………still in San Jose. So a part of that horrendous day in San Jose I left out was the business of sorting out onward travel onto Panama. This proved to be easier said than done. Now I knew information for buses on to David, Panama was sketchy at best before I set off on…
