Change of Plans

Ok, change of plans. Instead of going to Belize I'm going to go on a 6 day hike to a ruin called El Mirador. Said to be the first and most impressive Mayan site. El Tigre (close enough) is said to be 78 meters high. We set off at six am tomorrow to walk all day in the blistering heat. The trip includes all food and water, plus someone to cook. Donkeys carry the gear, all I carry is a daypack with personal belongings. My big pack is stored in town as part off the deal. Then I'm going to skip Honduras and Nicaragua because I don't feel I gave Mexico a fair shake. So then I'm going to go to the Caribbean to to finally taste the salt water.
Cheers!

  3. Steve, havent had much of a chance to check your blog out, and it looks like you have done alot so far! From what I see it looks like you're sticking to your original plan, which was to not stick to an agenda or route but play things by ear. Excellent!
    Super pumped for when you return! Til then, take care of your feet!
