Four days in Mexico City

September 7, 2022

Fresh from the solitude of wilderness camping in California’s Kings Canyon National Park, it was perhaps to be expected we would take a little time to adjust to the busy, sprawling streets of Mexico City. We had unintentionally thrown ourselves in the deep end by arriving late on a Friday night to our hostel in […]

Catch your breath in Ecuador’s capital

May 3, 2018

Crossing the Colombia-Ecuador border overland took me seven-and-a-half hours.  Next to me, tourists were ready to write off the country there and then.  Yet despite this backdrop of festering frustration, I fell for Quito almost immediately. After arriving very late the night before, I woke in the capital on a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning.  As […]

Tell anyone who’s not been to Colombia you are imminently travelling to the country and they will inhale sharply and imagine danger around every corner in Medellin and Bogota.

Jetty at Hospital Point on Isla Solarte in Bocas del Toro

As my time in Bocas del Toro draws to a close, I’ve been slowly ticking off the items on my bucket list here.  One such place was Hospital Point.  The secluded spot is a the western tip of Solarte Island and although I had passed it on several previous occasions, I had never visited the […]

Sharing the joys of Bocas with friends

The two weeks since my last post have contrasted hugely; the first was dedicated to studying Spanish and during the second my friends Greg and Jack arrived.  Consequently, although I continued to attend two hours of intensive conversation classes each day, my progress slowed as I put down my books. It was such a pleasure […]
