  • Bore da todos! I just got word this morning that Amazon has accepted my Historic Wales travel guide eBook and it is now live over there. It is also on kindle unlimited for 90 days. Please check it out and consider buying it for yourself or someone this Christmas. A free sample can also be…

  • Hola todos. After a slow few days In La Unión it has finally rolled round – The day we cross the Gulf of Fonseca into Nicaragua. Now I had read about this route some months before the trip as fairly recently Honduras made it that Brits now need a visa to enter and getting hold…

  • Hola todos. Last blog for Saturday before we cross into Nicaragua 🇳🇮 on weds. Just catching up on admin these last few days. After the San Miguel experience I decided to head to port today but I also liked the gaff I stayed in in San Miguel so stayed and watched some more TV and…

  • San Miguel or New Reno?  Hola qué tal ustedes cabrones?!? Been another fun one. Déjame decirte sobre todo joder! Entonces…..donde estábamos? Ah yes! After our brief stay in San Salvador we get on our bus for San Miguel in the south. Plan is to spend the weekend here then head for port on Tuesday to…

  • Hola todos, como estáis? Today is my first proper day in Antigua. I awake with a mild hangover after last night’s nonsense and force myself up and about my day. First I have to find a place to do laundry so find a place put a big batch in then look to have a look…

  • Hola todos! Just settled into Antigua and boy what an absolutely amazing, stonking start I had to this place! Let me pull up a pew and tell you all about it! So I arrive into Antigua about half 3 in the afternoon. Didn’t take many pics on the bus ride up as kind of nodded…

  • Hola todos. Bit delayed here as moved on to Antigua earlier than planned. So yes Lake Atitlan did not live up to the hype. Entonces que pasó? Well let’s rewind. I sleep good in my new place in Panajachel though it’s a nice town not a lot going on and I have some admin to…
