Gillian Swimming in the surf sounds lovely, but surely you are at least a pink gringo by now? Loved the lifeguard pic.....

Ali just catching up with the blog, did you give the answer to what the 'people' in the picture were doing? My guess- picking fruit? Loving the blog Take good care of yourself xxx

LJP Very pleased Louise!

Moshy lovely virtual postcard to read over my first coffee of the week at work.

Moshy "danger of piles if many more miles" - ee oop, poet laureate's here :D

Moshy i always laugh when they censor "cock" out of context. (ps hello im finally having a good read, back to front, in full depth analysis ongoing!)

Cath Bloody wifi or your bloody blogging site lost my comment again. Ahem.... First – I want to know what occurred in Granada (email please if not for public consumption). Still envious here. It’s all very nice and just what I needed (nothing except sun, peace, books, a few nice bars...). Many, many pensioners of the British and German variety which weren’t on the requirements list but are (mostly) tolerable. Not the same as mooching about Central American looking for where the parties are happening though. Oh & it’s not only gap year tweenies who communicate only with their own. I stopped to assist a couple of confused oldies yesterday as they anxiously looked around at the many towel-covered (but yet still empty!) sunbeds by the pool. “If you go down the steps over there, there’s another pool”, I suggested. Helpfully, I thought. Blank stares. No words, just stares held until I finally broke their gaze with a smile and dismissive nod. German I assumed. As I turned my back though, Major a******* bark at his wife “Margery! The towels! There are more beds down there apparently!” Not German, not uncomprehending, just rude. Somewhat annoyingly, you appear to be doing all the bits I missed last time too (apart from the lovely Caye Caulker)! It serves only confirm my fear of having made the wrong decision, but please keep up the blogging; it allows me at least to live vicariously through your adventures, without the hassle. Or haggling. Or entire days wasted on trying to find somewhere to get my clothes laundered. Or disappointment in finally finding the guest house only to discover my room is an 8ft x 4 ft cell with paper thin walls and a landlady straight from a 70’s sitcom. And the toilets are shared. On the whole then...maybe not such a bad decision? I laughed aloud about the coffee. I remember thinking it would be great there too – but being presented everywhere with 2 options; coffee ground dust mixed with boiling dishwater, or the even more horrific “tourist” option; those little Nescafe tubes! Are you planning to stay on the Lake whilst you are there? I didn’t – but it was a regret. Also, are you stopping at all in Costa Rica or heading straight to Panama after Nicaragua? When are you back (I’m going to an event in That London on the 9th May)? Looking forward to hearing more (and more photos too please). Take care you. xx

Martin Hi Deb, Lovely to hear from you. You'd like it here. Should've come...
