The trip HOME..

COLOMBIA | Tuesday, 10 March 2009 | Views [754]

So if you knew my rough iternary before you know that it has drastically changed. I had a return flight home from Buenas aires on march 10, and obviously i am in colombia so i have extened my trip. Initially i had planned to go to rio de janiero for carnivale in mid-febuary. But when i calculated the costs it would have been sooo much, around 2500 usd for around 10 days, just too much.

So i have decided to skip carnivale, for now, for i will do it one day. And i will continue traveling north until i get home. So at the moment i am in medellin, colombia (which has the most beautiful girl in the world, bar none!!! it´s absolutely ridicilous, 9 out of 10 girls around here are attractive and i would say 4 out of ten are absolutely amazing!!!! i cant find the words to explain how beautiful and how many amazing women are here!!) ok so enough with the women...

Here is the rough plan..sunday i go to santa marta, on the coast, and then i do the cuidad peridas trek (lost city trek) which takes more a less a week, then go to cartegna (CO) and then take a boat to panama, stay a day in panama city, take a bus to honduras, bypassing costa rica, and then stay a few days in honduras,and then stay maybe a few day in nicaragua, and a week in gueatamala, a week in mexico´s yucatan, and then take a bus to mexico city and then another bus to the us border, and then find a ride to austin!!! and then to OKC, and then home...

so that is the plan!!! i started in BA, went to the southern most city in the world, ushuaia, and then have traveled, all by land, no flights, all bus and 2 boat rides...north...until.........home

i did a very very rough calculation of the distance i will have traveled...its impossible to calculate...because the way i have calulated is all in straight lines, and i have mostly been driving through the mountains in every country i have been in, so the actual distance would i presume be much much more than my calculations. My calculations are around 12,000 miles. but if i had to guess i bet it would be around 20,000 miles all together. someday when i return i´ll try to figure out the actual numbers.
