Don't you just love seedy port towns. You know, the ones that have a hooker on every corner and hotels that rent by the hour. Anyway that's Puerto Barrios (Guatemala) and me and my new Japanese mate Makoto just spent 13 hours to get here.
It was quite an effort too:
1 dawn ferry fride from Utila to La Ceiba (Honduras)
2 taxi rides
1 first class autobus ride
1 Chicken bus ride (Bus de Pollo)
2 Collectivo bus ride's (One included a free prayer session on route, well almost free I bought a specially blessed pen off the dude for 20 Quetzales afterwards.... couldn't help myself, he said it was blessed!)
Anyway so I'm back in Guatemala now. Yeah I know, I never even said I'd left, well I did... about a week ago. Actually it was just a couple of days after me and Hutch had a news years on Lake Atitlan that neither of us can remember, but neither of us will forget. But blah blah blah.... and I'm back now, with an Advanced Open Water PADI Scuba certificate and one rare close encounter with a Whale Shark under my belt. And now it's time to track down Hutchy who is about one country ahead of me at the mo swimming in Stingray infested waters, yeah he went North when I went East.
Anyway Hutch if you read this, watch ya back as I'm on the Belize border right now and I'ma hot on ya heels!

My advice is not to stay here long... nor taste test the local delights... I have a fact for you... There is currently no known cure for the HIV virus in the World today - Apply this knowledge well ;)
