The weather changed for the worse when we got to the Caribbean. There were gale force winds and some rain so we were late arriving at our next destination - Peurto St. Thomas. My husband (along with about 10% of passengers on the Artemis) had been confined to the cabin for three days with Novovirus so couldn't go ashore. I went on a trip to Livi...

A chicken bus took us to Rio Dulce, packed like sardines, 4 hours south east of Flores. On arrival we bumped into Veronika (Check Republic) and Francisco (Mexico)from the Los Amigos Hostel who had left 2 hours after us but had got a shuttle bus.... Ah well..... Rio Dulce is a **** hole frankly but is located on a stunning, enormous lake with som...

Well, the border crossing was less dramatic than expected. Actually the border crossing between Belize and Mexico was a complete NON event. I heard when I arrived in Belize that I had gotten lucky. Whatever, I am just glad it was easy. The minute I stepped onto the bus outside of immigration in Belize, the change was obvious. No more nice Mexica...

i maaade it. it was a wicked boat ride to livingston. saw iguanas, pelicans, turtles, weird birds, weird fish, and little kids fishing. i managed to get a video of this old man on my boat who{s head is too small for his ball cap and his earlopes are so long they{re flapping in the wind. i was trying really hard not to laugh. VIDEO FOOTAGE. hee h...

Another day on the move, bus to Puero Cortez and then another to the border with Guatemala where we caught a third bus to take us to Puerto Barrios to catch a ferry. All was going well until we reached the outskirts of Puerto Barrios. We were forced to abandon the bus and start walking as all traffic was at a complete standstill. After walking a...

When we arrived at the site today, the gravel we left yesterday was there waiting. Our 2 Masons (Albiñil) started mixing cement to fill in the U-blocks, so I hung around to help. I just needed a change of task. It's not any easier, just different. That's how we feel about all the jobs -- they're all difficult but you can change the muscles used ...

Retour sur le Guatemala, où je voyage en compagnie d'un groupe, une canadienne, 2 espagnols, et 2 américaines.. on prend le bateau au départ de Puerto Barrios, dans la mer des Caraïbes !!!!!!!! Hé oui !!!!!! et on longe toute la côte poure rejoindre Livinsgton, la seule ville du Guatemala peuplée par des noirs... c'est juste dingue.. on se croit...

Descendents of Carribean black slaves settled around here. Livingston has a very relaxing atmosphere with the main attractions being the 7 Alters waterfall, white sand beach and the Garifuna dancing. We made two trips to the waterfalls and one to the white sand beach which is quite a fair way, by boat, from Livingston. We were too tired to go ou...

I woke up at 4:30 a.m. to take a taxi to the bus station, pretty groggy without getting a decent nights sleep in the last couple days. The bus trip took right around 5 hours and was pretty hot and sticky. I am currently in Rio Dulce now on the banks of the river and just waiting till 1:30 so I can hop on the boat to get to Livingston. This is li...

Right...time to update the Blog - I will begin at the present and work backwards. Today we arrived in Livingston, Guatemala on the Caribbean Coast. We decided a while back that it would be necessary to have a stopover here to ensure our successful chartering of a boat to Punta Gorda. We checked in to the beautiful bungalows of Casa Rosada, right...
