Confusing Colonia

Colonia Del Sacramento, Uruguay Olivia at the Porton De Campo So since spending our last day in Auckland , we have hopped on a plane, gone back a day (yes I feel like a time traveler) and arrived in Buenos Aires . From this point onward Buenos Aires will simply be referred to as Buenos, because I cannot spell the last part without triple checking, I have similar problems with Rio . I will be writing about Rio later on in the week as by then we will have completed our time in Argentina. In the meantime however to keep you posted on what we're up to, we had a fun day trip out today. Our day trip took us up to the 14th country we have visited this year (fifteen if we include Italy from last September). Buenos is located on the Rio De La Plata in Argentina, which serves as the border between Argentina and Uruguay. So we thought we'd take a spontaneous(ish) trip out to Uruguay. We landed in a town called Colonia Del Sacramento. This town is a very pretty old town which lo...

Fiji: The Fable of an Albino Trapped in Paradise

An Albino Trapped in Paradise Sunset on Mana Island Day one : Arrive in accommodation, the aeroplane landing strip in the back garden sets off the neighbour's house alarm every 20 minutes.

This is the end

Puerto Morelos The wonky old Lighthouse So off we went from Tulum roaring down the road towards out final destination. For this we had chosen Puerto Morelos, a small fishing town (or a small drinking town with a fishing problem as one bar described it). Although there are other more famous places we could have gone to such as Playa del Carmen or Cancun we had decided on Puerto Morelos as it was described as being less busy and resorty but a little more charming. For this reason it was a little bit of a shock when we had been bombarded by people asking us into their shop as soon as we stepped out of the taxi that had run us the few miles from the bus station to the sea front.  Beautiful cups at Lola y Moya Our time here was short and generally meant to be relaxing, as a result there wasn't a breadth of things that we had planned to do apart from walking by the sea front and seeing the wonky old lighthouse. We did however find an amazing cafe place called Lola y Moy...
