Gem Holiday Beach St. George's

... pulling out onto the pan central american highway in his van.. with his mom in the front seat. Guess they really take drunk driving seriously here, or they just like to get started early.

Also just a little tid bit for you all.. I did my first load of laundry today. Consisted of me scrubbing my clothes on a stone wash tablet... Im going to smell like something fierce after six months of this, so dont say I didnt warn you.

... to get on the bus, but we were parked on the side of the street in a town of maybe 200 people. C'mon, like seriously. Then we got to Mombacho, and walked up to the tour booth in order to pay for our hike. So, because we are keeners, all three of us agreed that we should just walk up to the top on the road rather than pay the extra ten dollars to take the shuttle. The guys who worked there must have just been thinking "****ing gringos." We walked 1000m up in ...

... were on the top deck (of which we ended up on because it was so jam packed..). So we think, Ok, the free Rum Punch might make this liveable, right? Nooooo, it was like some crazy sour Rum drink that wasn't even drinkable. So by the time we get to Morne Rouge, we already know we're not taking that think back...Not my style. So we investigated a cab. It was $18 back into St. George. We ...

... us . It was out of this world to put it mildly. I kept thinking, King Kong would have loved to live here, in all of this green vegetation and mountains. It was entirely a different landscape than the islands previously visited the last two days. The colourful painted houses were built on the hillsides giving a tropical and exotic view. Dark clouds could be seen in the centre of the island probably a rainforest, otherwise ...

... t care for the electric pick-up on the violin. The pianist didn't have a very interesting setlist and the performance was rather uninspiring and even a tad sloppy. However, the final pair were great, especially the violinist. They played a great variety of songs - a good selection of Brahms, Schubert, among others. The last piece was especially fantastic - it highlighted their skill, both independently and as a duo. It was all in all a great ...

OCTOBER 15, 2008 DAY 19....on our way to the Amazon!!! We woke up to two irrevocable facts this morning! First, Little Stevie Harper is only a ¼ as smart as he thought he was...it almost felt like an election victory for those of us who walk with the Angels!!! Two, we left Grenada yesterday afternoon heading southeast for the mouth of the mighty Amazon...three days away! Oh! There is a third! For all the handwashing and disinfecting our hands with ...

... the task or we simply continue to wear our bathing suits until we're sure we have enough water. The first time I tried to skimp on rinse water, I ended up having to wash everything all over again as it all smelled like it had been rinsed in sweat. After Mayreau, we took a short hop to the other side of that island to the Tobago Cays. This bit of heaven had the most spectacular snorkeling we've yet encountered. Ringing the small islands are coral reefs which lie around ...

... from 1-5. Come back to the room.. eat.. **** around for a bit.. then study as much as possible. wrince and repeat for the rest of the week. The weekends however are another story... anyways im adding a few pics of my room! dont get too excited...

... that I stood up for it. It rested next to my sun chair all day and followed me a little bit back to the boat. One guy even thought it was a great excuse to try and pick me up, and said that he would have intervened if I hadn't and that he loved dogs... Yeah right! Our flight back to St. Lucia via Barbados left the next day, so we stayed in the boat that day, drinking our goodbyes, wishing Heidi and Eyvind a safe trip down to South America.

... people loads of drinks but then just ended up drinking them for myself, but always had about 2 or 3 drinks in my hands. Im also reliably told that i was asked to strip by the girls and i ended up lying on them with my shirt undone, as well as my shorts with their hands all over me :s sounds pretty good to me, if i could remember any of it! Me and another guy then for some reason showered the girls in white wine. I have no idea how we didnt get chucked out and ...
