Placencia – they speak English!

February 8, 2012January 6, 2012 by Rich and Leah
Dollars and the Queen? just seems wrong

We are very much in the Caribbean now, the Caribbean that I had always imagined. Patois is now spoken along with English and a very youthful Queen now features on all the notes – it’s like stepping back to the 80s.

Little Corn Island

There is a darker side to Little Corn which cannot be ignored. The island is a major refuelling station for cocaine smugglers coming up from Colombia heading to the US.

Cuzco – post Inca Trail weight gain

November 6, 2011September 2, 2011 by Rich and Leah

The plan is to spend just three days here before heading off to Lima. The truth is we are almost done with Peru, we’ve already done most of the ‘must dos’ and the ‘have to sees’ have been seen.

Inca Trail – my knees will never be the same again

November 6, 2011August 29, 2011 by Rich and Leah

Regulations state that only 500 people can start the Inca Trail every day, and since this number also includes porters and guides, the actual number of tourists starting is around 200.
