When looking through the various guide books I bought on Central America I saw how amazing the wildlife in the area was so one of my top priorities before coming out here was to see lots of wildlife. However we haven’t really seen as much as I was expecting so […]

M. Night Shyamalan is in town
There was no time for breakfast this morning as we left our hotel at 730am for the journey to our second Costa Rican destination – the town of La Fortuna which is next to the Arenal volcano. Once again this was a day where we were offered the option to […]
Look out for the Howler Monkey
Today was the shortest transfer of the trip so far and it only took a few hours to get to our next destination – the beautiful volcanic Ometepe island where I’m currently sat on a terrace overlooking the lake. I can’t really see anything as it’s dark but it’s a […]
Back to mainland Honduras
I woke up fairly early this morning to decided to read on the balcony for a bit before heading back to the Italian place in town with Team Breakaway for a fried breakfast which turned out to be a good choice. Not only was it nice but a whole meal […]

It was a fairly leisurely start today as we didn’t expect it to be a very long day… we were wrong. The day started with us heading into the nearby town of Fort Portal for supplies. I was on cook duty today so helped Den with shopping in the local […]
New York and the United Nations
Today was a long day of sightseeing, but I had a great time. There are two great ways to get your bearings in the city, and to see the main sights, before deciding what you want to visit properly. The first is an open top bus, which we’ll be taking […]
Singapore is warm but nice!
For the last few days I’ve been in Singapore on the start of my trip to a land down under and I’ve been having a great time. I think I should have extended my stay here by a day to be able to take in either Malaysia or Indonesia, or […]
