Still in Coro. Bridget and I are on a bit of a downer today as we have both finished books and decided to do something while we are here, only to find that, in fact, there isn't much TO do in Coro. So we have got some money out and are getting the overnight bus to Merida tonight, which is supposed to be cooler, and excellent for trecking and adventure sports. Don't worry mum, I remembered: no biking, no bungy jumping, no throwing myself into volcano's.

It will be a bit sad to leave Casa Tun Tun, as the people there are really nice. Spoke to a colombian for a while yesterday evening who was outraged that we would not be visiting Colombia (which he assures us is the safest country in south america), but unfortunately, our travel insurance doesn't cover us there, besides which, I know Mum wouldn't sleep a wink all the time we were there! Will also miss the music here, which tends to be famous English and American songs translated into Spanish: surprisingly, for lots of the beatles number is actually work very well!

Haven't found much of myself in Coro, though my feet are staying stubornly dirty, even after showers (which are all cold, but we're ok with that). We are both feeling a bit restless, having not done all that much for a few days, but are thinking that when we get to Merida, we will do this treck I read about which takes you through lots of the andean villages and on which you can sleep in hostels everynight which means showers and hot food!

I want to hear about whats going on in england/brussels. Leave us some comments, even if its only "Penny, this blog was really boring!" (appologies). Except for maybe boysie...i know he has a bit of an unfortunate blog commenting history....

Lots of Love and BBBB

I can smell you from here.
Hope all is well,

Put some photos up! I reckon I'm still browner than you.

Applying for jobs is rubbish!
