Got underway on the early side again and headed West. Our plan is to cover some more ground today and see some sights later tonight and tomorrow. The landscape has changed. Gone the desert, here the trees. It’s hotter, more humid, and very green. And probably full of crawling things. Apart from the long tarmac …

Spider!
Murray spotted a very long, red hair attached to my back as I awoke this morning. Very reassuring. I can only hope it was from a girl. We get underway and push on to finally catch up with the other team in El Rosario. At the moment we’re having some heavy driving days to cover …

I’m not in Kansas anymore
An early rise to get on the road and put some distance between us and the States. I’m still pretty tired and after last night’s frivolities feel another snooze in the back of the ambulance is in order. I’m out for pretty much the whole day. Every time I wake, I see the same landscape …

The boy is back in town
It appears I have managed to keep my ills at bay finally. I was learning in great detail about the underside of the bunk above me. Fascinating. I head out in the evening, determined to ensure this island doesn’t get the better of me. I’m going to force myself to have a good time. As …

Wrecked
A short lie in prompts interesting discussion as to our next move. We could hit the road and push on, or we could stay for another night and have a chilled day in Cholla Bay. In the end it’s a no brainer, and we head into town to grab a bite to eat. The town …

Mexico!
This is it! Today we leave to put our lives and sanity on the line to drive an ambulance to Honduras. After some last minute photo shoots and meeting the head of the Growers First charity, we’re just about set to hit the road. Peter has also managed to find his passport, so we bypass …

Question mark…
Awoke with a cover barely over me and thoughts of last nights debauchery. It was a riot. Not much to say about today. We spent a lot of time trying to find Peter’s passport and hanging around. “Ahhh poo, sad Peter.” I think we just about managed to hit the town again, which I’ve noticed …

Fun times
Sadly today we returned the Mustang in horrible weather. Apparently rain here is really rare, yet we’re in the middle of a hurricane. This was after some idiot woman drove into the side of the motor while it was parked. Lucky we had insurance and they didn’t bat an eye lid. I didn’t fancy paying …

The adventure begins
I awake in a boat. On a driveway. The Boatel. This was after our first night in San Diego meeting the rest of the charity rally team, who all seem jolly nice and up for a laugh. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone and the challenge of the days ahead. Unless of course …

Sinking
More of the same today. After our first experience of scuba diving its a wonder we want to get back in the water at all. In fact Mike doesn’t, opting instead for a day of leisure. Lucky him. I start to get the hang of it a bit more today. It’s still not easy, but …
