MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
HOHOHOHOHO!! And a bottle of rum, and a bottle of rum!
Hope you all have a good Christmas, wherever you are. Ours is gonna suck arse. In San Jose. EVERYTHINGS closed down for xmas, and the hostel is DEAD! Obviously getting waste stained is a British tradition. So we might get a pizza and watch BIG on tv or something :-s
Its Christmas day, and we´re leaving Central America :-0
Time to start our adventures in South America, and we´re looking forward to it. Will be nice to jump on to this tour and have someone there to sort transport, no need for money, give advice on things to do, tell us boarder crossing charges, translate, sort accomidation etc etc. I thought Central America will be our hardest part of the journey, and we´ve survived it :)
If you didnt know - We landed in Cancun, and traveled south through Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. I think we enjoyed all of it. Belize definitley stood out as something different. As the people spoke english, and it had more of a carribean vibe, rather than a latin america one. Belize was very expensive though, as was Costa Rica. Its hard to say what I enjoyed most out of all the countries. I think in general people got friendlier as we traveled south.....and the girls got hotter too :p (didnt notice if the boys did) :-s
My advice to anyone who wants to travel central america is LEARN SPANISH! Have no idea how many times we´ve been insulted and ripped off. Most people are good people. But you do get paranoid when you hear whats happened to some other travelers. When traveling you gotta take everything with a pinch of salt though. A lot of people described San Jose as a shit hole. But when I got here I just tought it was a city, with cool shops, prostitutes, cool graffiti, and not too dissimilar to any other big city. DEFINITELY better than most capitals on the continent. San Salvador and San Jose were OK. Managua and Guatemala City we got straight out of!
Dont really know what else to say....Maybe ill update this and write a better review. Or I could just not bother.....Im thinking of writing a comparison of mine and Cats style of traveling soon :p
Keep in touch
Keep your shorts tight
And have a gintastic Christmas.
