Sorry that I haven’t been updating the blog – its so much easier to post quick updates on Facebook to let friends and family know I’m alive and kicking as the internet connection here is sort of frail. I thought I’d post my last few Facebook updates here for the folks without FB:<\/p>\n

(in Costa Rica) The hostel is hot, overcrowded, bar music blaring at me right across from the window… and I will sleep like a baby tonight. Nothings going to stop that.

Ometepe is incredible. More wild and beautiful than I ever imagined.

Awoke in the temple at 6am before sunrise, warmed up my sleepy body with gentle dance while the sun rose around us, then hiked through the rice fields with Erika to the neighbouring farm for some fresh frothy milk. Oatmeal and warm hot honey milk for breakfast. Giant papaya to snack on today. The papayas here are larger than watermelons!

a local boy hacked off then cut open a coconut with a machete and gave it to me to drink. Sadly he really is too young. But he had no shirt on which is always a bonus.
