Hola Gato to all you slinky sloths and mangy muppets

Well, just after sending our last travellog 6 days ago, we slinked back to our room in Managua, Nicaragua and settled in to watch a crappy James Spader alien movie, when some British mates who we were travelling with came in and told us that a hurricane called Rita was forming just off the coast of Cuba and was expected to be a category 2 hurricane.

Considering that we were flying out to Havana in 10 hours, we shat ourselves completely and then ran around Managua trying to find an internet place open at that time of night, which is normally quite a dumb and dangerous thing to do after dark in Managua.

Anyways, after hitting the news and ringing the airline and having a chick totally FREAK us out by telling us that she hadn’t heard of a Hurricane Rita and that the flight was definitely still flying, we decided to postpone the trip for 6 days as we really didn’t trust the airline not to crash and die especially after the recent crash in Venezuela.

Hey There Narly Rad Tube Dudes

Well firstly, I’m gonna make you all spew chunks of envy by telling you that I am currently typing this whilst sitting in a hammock outside our cabina on the beach with the surf breaking behind me and there are heaps of purple and orange crabs running around the sand beneath me….

Yep, we’ve hit the Pacific coast of Nicaragua and we’re in a place called Playa Majugual which is a major surfer’s hangout and is literally FULL of Aussie and German surfers…

Man… there are some seriously hardc’ore surfer dudes here including guys that track the swells on the US navy website for months and then shoot down here to catch them when they break. Continue reading →

Hola to all you funky monkeys and secret squirrels…

Well, we are currently in Granada, a totally funky town in Nicaragua and we are definitely the funkiest monkeys in town after flying on a zipline through the canopy of rainforest down one side of the biga’rsed Mombacho volcano.

Man… it was so cool flying through the trees, that we totally thought we were NINJAS because we are pretty sure that if NINJAS had to get down a volcano, that they would DEFINITELY fly too…

And we have to tell you that Nicaragua has completely blown us away in how totally WICKED FUN this place is… Dudes, we had no idea that there was so much to do here… Continue reading →

Hey there friends, family and other furry animals…

Well we are currently sitting in Panama Airport on our way to Nicaragua and honestly, after all the scary stuff we were worried about, we LOVED Colombia and saying goodbye is actually really sad…

Colombia has been such a friendly place to travel and the raw natural beauty of the place is definitely one of the world’s best kept secrets… We have now totally joined the masses who have been converted and we now would say that Colombia is definitely the best country to visit in South America.
