Well over a week has passed and I things are going swimmingly and lots of new pics to see too.

Firstly if any of you guys have been sending text – thanks always cool tog et them – You may well get replies when I get to a country with a decent mobile grid as they are waiting to go in my ‘text out box’ so it’s not that I’m ignoring you

So I had to say good bye to the Swede - she was top company for the week and made my first week soo easy, but hey onwards I had to go. Left Caye Caulker on the ‘Rasta King’ on a 2 night / 3 days yacht trip down to Placencia. Not a bad crowd at all on the boat although it took until night two until we had a toga party on the dock by the boat – amazing what a little 240% over proof rum added to the punch will do!

Spent the fist night on Rendezvous Caye which was no bigger than 2 tennis coots and 6 palm trees. Shared it with 4 pelicans and watched them dive for fish as the sun went down and the full moon came up – not too shabby at all. Spent the day sun bathing with 2/3 stops for snorkeling and cooling off. Caught 2 barracuda which were promptly cooked up for dinner each evening.

After getting to Placenia got hooked up in an OK room and spent the next day walking in the Cockcombe Jaguar reserve. Didn’t see any jaguars but then again I was with a family of America who “loved my accent” and were so bloody loud all day I didn’t think we say another living thing.  All the same the tubing down the river was cool but I strongly recommend against rock sliding – I have the bruises ass to prove it too.

After that caught a wee putt-putt boat through the mangroves at dawn (ooohhh ahhhh) – walked up a dirt track and caught a bus (which was soooo full) then a cab to my new wee hotel which is sweet! All just dropped into place even though it could have gone v v wrong J Off to see some Maya ruins tomorrow I hope then it more buses, and  2 x planes to Santiago/Chile. Check out the new pics I have managed to upload a stack
