First blog of the new part to the Latin American adventure. Im writing this whilst on a bus going from Mexico to Guatemala. I am currently in Belize. The weather has been really odd since i arrived last week, hence why its only Monday n im on my way to Guate already. The flight from London was direct to Cancun and really empty so i had 3 seats to myself and could lay down, but even thats not very comfy cus the arm rest against the wall digs in.
