Article: Day 34 - Isla

Much better day, and I had a reasonable nights sleep... but still not feeling even close to 100%. The natural drugs I took for my stomach bug seems to be helping quite a bit, so I'm continuing the course for the next 7 days... which is what was...

Article: Day 33 - Delmonte - Isla

Well, I got about 4-5 hours sleep, and I was up and packed by 7am in the morning. I even had time to brew 2 good cups of coffee, which is a base requirement as far as I was concerned, especially with such miserably low temperatures, no hot shower...

Article: Day 15 - Busceria - Colima

The day started off on the beach, and despite the fact that I didn't want hassles from any locals about being on their beach, I decided to take it easy! My nights rest was actually suprisingly good, and I woke up from a deep slumber just as the sun...

Article: Day 14 - El Fuerte - Busceria

I started the day off with a quick breakfast at the same place I'd become quite accustomed to over the last couple of days. I found it to be quite comfy and clean, combined with the fact that they knew exaclty how / what I liked to eat. Strong...

Article: Day 6 - Tucson - San Carlos

I had a frustrating start to the day. I hit the snooze button becuase I'm on holiday and not holding anyone up but myself... that caused me to be running MUCH later than I would have liked, but alas, the show must go on.
