my mind my life

well i have made it from mexico to belize and from belize city to a little island called caye caulker which is on the the caribeean, its seems lovely slow paced easy going but i have only been here for about half aday so far, i am thinking about doing my advanced open water padi while i am here but, am not sure yet, i know that i want to get at least one dive in while i am here i think, and the plan for tomorrow is snorkeling i think, it all looks grand.

as for yesterday when i got to chetumal. well i decided to goto to the only hostel in town with girl i met on the but and it was well how can i put this something like a horror movie school, funny as that is i decided to stay there the night and yeah it could have been a scene out of a horror, there was only one door on the toilet cubicles and well 2 on the showers they forgot to put toilet seats in the place which i thought was a master stoke of genius, the town didn’t have much else going for it and the only reason that someone would want to go there is to, there was no beach that i found and actually finding a cheap place to eat that sold beer was sooooo much harder and i could ever imagine !!!!!

well its a new country although i will only be here for a few days as i have to get to guatamalafor the 3rd of april !!!!

well its that time of year again when the irish go mad !!! it´s st paddies day, and i dont know if there is a bar that would sell guiness in this town, i am sure there must be one somewhere but where is the question.

its been a slow week or so with some towns with nothing else todo other than maybe a little site seeing and other than that not much of anything, but that is probarly cause i am still off the booze and well i was feeling better for it but the last few days i´ve been feeling really tired i think that was down to the amount of food i was eating !!!! (lots) so today i decided to forgo the breakfast and just have a coffee yes a coffee was what was the order of the day and then i have only had some fruit till my can of refried beans tonight. and i feel so much more alive, its been to much bread for me i think !!!!!!!

as for the next stop its chichen itza which is a fairly famous mayan ruin to look forward to and then its a town called vallidiod i think thats the name anyway, i can never remember spellings, and i am looking forward to my spanish course at the moment and looking forward to a new country with new things to explore and new people. once i have a grasp of a little of the language i think i can only have more fun as i was trying to by some pain killers today with a woman who only spoke spanish but well i managed to almost get what i wanted, there was no codiene in it but well it was a start to what i wanted.

life is good and tooooo hot and well the mossies are bloody everywhere !!!!!!

well i made a 14 hour overnight bus journey, which i hardly slept through, as always i find it so hard to sleep on moving transport so am a little tired today.

 i had just come from peurto escondido which is supposed to be this town that everone raves about and well i can´t see what all the fuss is about i saw the beach´s, didnt get to surf, but nothing special, i didn´t however go out boozing, although i have had a few beers i am still off the partying and i acutally feel so much better for it.

yep its sad to be not partying but its guna be the longer term detox that i needed, now i just need to get some more exercise into my life and then everything will be fine, i am trying to limit my eating but that can be easier said than done when your travelling with a few people and they want to eat, so i try to pick small things as they are normally better.

i have also been having alot of time to think about life and what i want to achieve from here on in with it and its quiet interesting as i have about 10 things that i want to achieve before i die, well probarly not before i die but just its goals i am setting for myself and where i want to get to with certain things, work has also been the ever contstant and i think i have been doing more since i got on the road than when i was in oz and should have been doing it. but its keeping me upto date with everything and i am getting there i think with it all, i have idea´s of what i want todo going forward and its just if that can happen its all good, if it can´t then well i will have to look at other options of what i want todo.

 i think by the time i get to the UK i will have worked out my life going forward which would be wonderful.

well its my first bus trip in mexico and god it was so easy compared to some of the trips that i did in asia, although i speak no word or spanish i think i understood what was going on and it all worked perfectly, i also finished my book on the way here and have started a nwe one today called marching powder, which is about a famous bolivian prison !!

tomorrow its going round the museums and the day after its going to see monte alban, i´m leading the boring life at the moment and enjoying it.
