After: 7 countries, 9 border crossings, 64 days, 100's of new people (some for a day, some for a week and hopefully a couple for alot longer than that), 73 bus rides, 10 taxi rides, 13 boat rides, 2 tuktuk rides, what feels like 1,000 mozzie bites, 1 bed bug incident, 5 volcanoes (1 climbed), 2 volcanic lakes, 3 Mayan ruins, 11 cathedrals, 4 hot springs (not counting the Caribbean at Isla Holbox), 8 beaches (2 Pacific, 6 Caribbean), 4 snorkelling trips (1 with sharks, 1 with whale sharks and 2 with turtles), countless hours spent relaxing in hammocks and more pollo, arroz y frijoles (chicken, rice and beans), cervezas and ron y cola (cuba libres) I ever care to remember, my Central American adventure has finally come to an end.
I have seen everything I wanted to see, done everything I wanted to do (and more), gone everywhere I wanted to go and achieved everything I wanted to achieve.
Tomorrow I achieve a life long ambition and my ultimate reason for being in this unforgettable part of the world. I go to Cuba.
