We arrived with our hosts Deane and Kathy in the Spice Island and have just finished our 5 day Caribbean cruise on a luxury 60ft yacht. Traveling in a custom that we're not used too but loved every moment of it. We sailed south from St Vincent, past Bequia to Mustique where we enjoyed our first sun downers in Fire Fly cocktail bar. Followed by an incredible meal in the Cotton House. We were rubbing shoulders with millionaires and getting a sneaky peak into holida...

San Gil turned out to be like the Queenstown of Colombia, a real adventure sports town. Unfortunately during our night bus to San Gil, Kim developed a bout of food poisoning and had a nightmare of a trip, a plastic bag became her best friend. So when we got to San Gil we booked into a nice hostel and she spent a couple of days recovering. When Kim gave me the thumbs up, we had an adrenaline packed day. In the morning we went white water rafting. We were signed u...

Surprisingly Kim and I still had some energy, and when we bumped into our frie...

I think all the David's should invest some money to organize the street names and save a lot of tourists a lot of time getting lost! Many of the streets have 2 names or no...

Another day, another country, another border crossing! From Costa Rica to Panama, via Sixaola involves a short bus journey, a stamp from the Costa Rican immigration and then a 100m wooden bridge crossing, with stunning views. It is supposed to be a relaxing one and up to a point it was uneventful. The twist came when we were to get our entry stamp into Panama; the officers there told us we had to have a flight or bus out of Panama before we could enter. We coul...
