So we had to leave Caye Caulkner (tears!) and head to San Ignacio which is a border town in the interior of Belize. This was an interesting trip as we used the local "chicken bus" something our foreign office says not too. This bus was funny - it was an old American school bus (you know the yellow ones you see on TV) with no aircon except the windows which slid open randomly - especially funny when it started to rain! We assumed the warning in regards t...

This was a long journey, we exited Mexico where we didn't pay the bribe which seems standard practice here! Anyhow after 8 hours we reached the ferry dock in Belize City where we caught a speedboat to Caye Caulkner, an island right next to the reef Belize was celebrating its indipendence the day we arrived and all throughout the country were flags and locals dressed up. The countryside is also very lush and green which helped the journey go quickly. Belize city ...

Tulum was HOT! we were staying right on the beach in Cabanas which would've been perfect if it wasn't full of bugs. Megan registered around 70 and Dave 35 bites, and that was in one night. We also had a huge tropical storm in the night which was a little intimidating especailly with the winds at over 50mph.

Viva La Mexico! And Dave hears the new Mexican signing for Fulham did a good job on his debut. Mexico has been gorgeous so far, we firstly stayed in the Mexican Riveria just south of Cancun. Our first port of call was Playa Del Carmen where we stayed in a luxury hotel for 2 nights and believe me the aircon was worth the money - its super hot! and very sticky... Anyhow on our first day we visited Chichen Itza, the famous Mayan ruins sight. This was worth every ...

After a great trip to the Grnd Canyon - which by the way is again completely awe inspiring in in vastness. We were set to drive to LA. LA is huge! and very very difficult to navigate, although I think we did very well. We visited the walk of fame, Downtown Hollywood, Chinese and Kodak theatre (where oscars are held), Universal Studios, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Malibu, Santa Monica and Venice Beach. They were all good fun, but the highlights were Santa Monica...
