adventures through South America

Thought I'd update you ll quickly just in case I went missing in action!
Left Colombia, I won't go on about it but I miss it so much, had a bad week and took the huff and ended up in Guatemala after stropping in the airport in Caracas!

Quick summary, my last day in Colombia started badly when the Hybrid, for that is what he is now known, decided that the best way to cope with an enforced break up was to cause a fight. I'm not sure if he thought that this was a good idea because he's male or because he's just out of nappies. So obviously it was a good idea for me to pull an all nighter and get straight on the plane the next day, and even though we had made up by 8am my mood had not improved.

So got to Caracas and decided to go straight to Los Roques, the Carribean islands. I was a little bit tired when I made the deal and didn't take into account the black market rates, probably cos no one told me! Anyway you pay double if you pay in Venezuelan currency so I got totally ripped off and paid an extra 200 pounds. Now the beaches were beautiful but not worth 100 flaming pounds per night!!!!

Excuse my language, but really really annoyed. I know my own fault for being too tired. So I get back to Caracas and the airline lost my luggage. When it eventually appeared they'd broken the rucksack, sorry Lou, it's getting fixed I write. On top of this my camera broke and I lost my touche Eclat!

So I stropped around the airport, not the safest airport to do this in, and then decided that I wasn't in the mood for Venezuela anymore and jumped on the next plane to Guatemala.

So now I'm in Antigua which is like a prettier Cusco but totally Gringofied. Therefore I'm off to San Pedro on Lake Atitlan tomorrow. I think rehab is over, I'm not good at it!

OK sorry to moan, am really looking forward to seeing y'all.
Make it stop raining for when I return
