Semuc Champey
Semuc Champey Thursday 21st February 06.45: OH.MY.GOD. I just opened my eyes to the most breath taking view. I am at Utopia, just on the very edge of Semuc Champey, entirely surrounded by trees in the middle of the mountains, just so beautiful. I slept soundly, there was nobody else in this huge hal...
Flores
Monday 18th Feb 15.25: I am sat in the shade at a beautiful casa at the rope swing destination just across the lake from Flores. We have come here in a big group and we have been swinging into the water all afternoon. I feel like a massive kid, like we are the lost jungle children. We took a boat ou...
San Ignacio
Wednesday 13th Feb 13.40: Currently sat on a bus. Hard to write as it is so bumpy. Will continue upon arrival in San Ignacio. 19.52: I am sat on a tall bar stool in the kitchen of the San Ignacio Bella’s (they have three hostels) and I am drinking a cup of tea. The first cup tea I have had in over t...
Caye Caulker
Tuesday 5th February 09.58: 1st morning waking up here in Caye Caulker (pronounce key corker.) It is funny how quickly I feel as though I know places, it feels as though I have been here for far longer than 24 hours. The second boat ride yesterday was much more comfortable than the first, I was sat...
Sarteneja
Friday 1st February 20.48: Belize. We have gained an hour as we crossed the border, playing with my body clock a little. I changed my plans at the last minute to come to Sarteneja as the lovely Irish Paula convinced me it was a good idea. I figured travelling to Belize alone could be a little sketch...
Bacalar
Monday 28th January 21.28: I am in Bacalar, it is beautiful, so breath takingly beautiful. Everything I had hoped for; turquoise clear water, untouched nature on the horizon and a swing... A SWING. I am more than happy that I swiftly made my way here, I had imagined to stay in Tulum a little longer...
Tulum
Thursday 24th January 07.35: Awake at 06.45 again, despite going to bed at 02.30. I expected to feel a touch hungover this morning but seem to be ok. Winner. I had some very real dreams about old school friends which woke me up a few times. I sat on the rooftop with most of the group who have been h...
Cancun
22.1.19 07.30: My phone is in my room upstairs so I can’t tell the exact time, how millenial of me. I should get a watch now I am an adult but I don’t like wearing jewellery at all these days. Silicone ear plugs are the way forward, there was a full on party going on last night and I didn’t hear a p...
The airport
21.1.19 04.52 (UK TIME): I am sat on a freezing cold train to Gatwick. It is definitely coat weather but I obviously don’t need one where I am going! Leaving mum and Frances felt sad, but I know they’ll be ok, goodbyes are always weird. I am very cold, far to excited to step off the plane and into t...
And so it begins
In a world where instagram and facebook are seeming to feel more and more self indulgent I thought to myself ‘why not write a blog?’ It probably falls into the same category but at least this way you have chosen to get yourself here, I am not just bombarding my followers/friends as and when I choose...
