my mind my life

well i am now on my last day in mexico city although its been fairly quiet for me staying in on the saturday night i got here and i haven´t had a drink since i have arrived, i think my idea to detox from my melbourne life style has gone a little to my head, i am sure it will change further down the line.

 i´m off for a 6hour bus journey tomorrow to oxaca (yeah i still can´t spell at all) to see some of the sites and make it to my first anchient ruin, i am bypassing the one just ou side mexico city as i plan to come back here one day, and it wasn´t until i got here i really discovered how much this country has to offer, i´m also on a fairly tight shedule as i have central america to do in 3 months which i know isn´t going to happen so ì`m going to make some desisions of where i want to goto and what i want to see, i think that it should be fast paced as i haven´t really been on the move for 8 months, where i should have got up off my arse and done a thing or 2

i will probarly spend the 6 and a half hour bus jounrey planning what i am guna see in mexico and times and dates for that as well, but we will see.

as for the hostel i am staying in here, its all good other than the cunt in the bunk below me, deciding he was going to piss in the room when he was pissed and hit my bag, well i made my distaste known, and i got an appolgy, thank fuck for the water proof lining i bought for the bag though.

anyway more from my next stop

well to my suprise i slept like a baby last night and i woke up at 11:30 which was brilliant considering the amount i had slept the day before. i have also started reading my first book for this part of my journey as well iu didn’t read anything really while i was in australia and definetly not for the last 8 months while i was in melbourne.

i went and saw underworld 2 this afternoon which was about a 3.5 mile hike to the cinema which was in a mall in redondo beach, the major thing i noticed was the lack of people on the street walking it was very reminicent of perth in that respect, and well the size of people in there carsm fat fuckers its about time american’s started to walk rather than driving everywhere as it might help them get a little smaller !!!!!!!

tomorrow is my last full day here and i am trying to work out what i am going todo, i actually haven’t eaten anything as yet here as i ate so much the day i was on the plane that i just haven’t been hungry and well i am sure there would have been a few kilo’s put on then, the only problem is the usual plane problem i have of not being able to shit but i am sure i can find something that will help that out in mexico i might hire a bike and head for venice beach as there might be something healthy to eat over that way, even the sushi joint that i went to last time i was here is closed i think maybe its the time of year ???? and the mall that had the cinema in it didn’t even have a sushi joint just fat fat fooooood

god i am looking forward to mexican food

well i have made it here after my first long haul flight in i dont know how long, hurrah it was a bit of a wierd trip as usual i didn’t sleep so i am now bugger as usual. i have however been greeted by ladys playing volleyball on the beach, what a sight that is for a bleary eyed traverller !

i’m in the hostel now and about to get some shut eye as i am buggered!!!

Well it was my leaving party at the weekend, and its one of those things, there was a party planned and it never quiet goes according to the plan’s that you have. a few people i would have like to have seen didn’t turn up but ahhh well thats there loss.

All the people that i have spent alot of the last 7 months with were there and they made it a very fun night that lasted until about 6pm on sunday night, and yeah its 2 days after and i am still recovering, my brain hasn’t made it totally back to normality just yet.

i think i am just about packed which is fucking brilliant, i have decided not to take the nikon with me and to send it home as its fairly heavy and something that i don’t really want to have stolen while i am away so i picked a very small and light canon ixus 55 which will do me perfectly for taking pics while i am away

well thats it i have one week left here, well its slightly more as its a week on wednesday that i have to make. but i have quiet alot todo this week i need to pack get things sent back home, as well as make it upto the city on wednesday to catch up with andres for lunch and hopefully catch up with dave as he is just back from south america.

i need to buy a couple of things and do my test pack and all that crap, its guna be good through, starting in LA and i have book my hostel in hermosa beach as well i’ve stayed in that area before and its nice and an easy way to start the road trip again.

i was gutted at the weekend as i found a house with scales and i knew that i had put on a few kilo’s since i had been staying in melbourne due to the lack of exercise over the past few months and also the fact that i have stopped working now and well i also think that i probably have been eating a little to well as you do. getting on the road again will be the perfect way to shed it and all the walking and seeing life will only aid it, i will need to work out an exercise regime though if not now but when i get back to the UK for a while, i missed the footy and well i was doing the swim but i could never fit it into my weekend going out life style properly but i will need to find a way so that it comes off.

its coming to the end of a fabulous 8 months ish, where i hadn’t expected to stay here for this long but when you find somewhere that you fit, there is no need to go anywhere else and well living off smith street made it all the more enjoyable

We its been another while since i posted anything to my blog but my time in australia is coming to an end and i am moving on to the final stage of my travels and probably the one i have been looking forward to the most since i escaped the UK.

on the 22nd of February i am flying to L.A. to then make my way to Mexico City from there i have some overland travels to Costa Rica where i will be flying out to Ecuador and from there i will be making my way round some of south America before flying home from Sao paulo.

i only have a couple of weeks left and have to pack my stuff up and send the bits and pieces home that i need to send home as well as relax and get prepared for the next few hikes
