Worst Road Known to Man!! And so it was- one incredibly uncomfortable night crammed in the van traveling some of the worst roads I have ever layed eyes on. We stopped every couple of hours to check the vehicle and for the driver to get pick-me ups of coke and candy. At 6am we stopped for breakfast and then boarded a car ferry that would carry us across a huge river in the middle of our path. It was here on the river ferry I met a couple from Denmark who are livin...

Goodbye Guyana!! I think my 5 days here in Georgetown was just enough, I may have not got to do the famous Kaiteur Falls tour like I had anticipated but I got a feel for the city, the culture, the people and the country. It rained heavily all morning which made me nervous for to tonight's overnight van ride (20+ hours) to Lethem.

I have been contemplating starting my own website/blog after meeting Jonny from Dont Stop Living the other day. I also made contact with two other friends who make a living solely from their travel writing and got some great advice, tips and ideas. Basically I have a lot of the content I ju...

Peter had told me a few of his surfers had been mobbed here during the day so I kept alert and made sure I only had a few dollars in my pocket. Halfway along the wall I decided to head inland and have a look at a small district of Georgetown which had resteraunts, sup...

The chickens aint be laying the eggs at the moment! !After a horrendous night with Mosquitos (even though i sleapt under a mosquito net) and little sleep I was up early and ready for my first day in Georgetown Guyana. Peter had left early so I took the morning to catch up on my blog and surf the Internet. I then took a walk around Peters neighborhood to gather my bearings and see what the little shops had in stock. On my walk I met some very nice Guyanese people ...
