Finally we find some time to update the blog... Really should have got ourselves one of those netbook thingeys to be able to do this on the go, but that would have encroached on our beer fund. So you'll just have to make do with out of date updates whenever we get the chance. Sadly we won't be able to add photos for a while either as a) Katy's camera broke and b) Ant's camera is waay too fancy for the likes of uploading onto this site. So then, we made it over t...

And we're off again... Our original plan for Part 2 of the trip was to head to Iceland, Greenland and Alaska before embarking on the epic drive from the west coast of the States to the east. Well, Iceland went out the window for problematic volcano reasons, Greenland is apparently swamped with mosquitoes at this time of year and Alaska is just too damn expensive. So... we decided to skip those bits and get straight to the mega drive. That is after a pitstop a...

Part 2 (the epic US road trip) begins after our brief jaunt back to the UK for Toby and Karen's wedding... The trip over to Panama was an extended delight for Tanja and Simon who have been stranded with no flights going back to Europe. Oh well, we'll just have to spend some time in the stunning Caribbean archipelgo of Bocas del Toro....

Well there's been a bit of a theme in recent blogs - volcano action. And it was time for another volcano to take a starring role - except not any in Costa Rica but that one in Iceland that you may have heard of?! Well, because of that volcano and Ashgate that followed, Tanja and Simon were left stranded in Costa Rica for another week of sun and fun. What a shame.
