Downtown Belize City, a bit of a shithole as my uncle would say, but it is.. shame, but the result of hurricanes and lack of investment..
Dusk on the Lake near Tikal, Stayed in a wonderfully odd and basic hostel in the hills...
Where we had localled horse killed Constrictor for us tea! blimey.. a bit like very rubbery overcooked Monkfish. Quite tasty though.
View over Tikal city at dusk.. and we kinda got lost on the way out, it got completely dark, as it does in the jungle.. and we got quite scared!! but it was fun. There're big cats in this places!! arrrgh!!!!
Central old town Guatamala City. Only really had time to walk about the area, I'm sure it had much more sights but it was one night only... heyhoo... The country look beautiful and I gotta see more..but the city, like most of these countries.. are a bit, mmm, better avoided maybe, not the beauty spot! Still, I love seeing people and how they live their lives. Certainly saw some of that.
Dusk over San Salvador (El Salvador). Had a great time here. Two days. Met some nice people and saw some of the town day and night. Really liked the place and wanna go back, we'll see...
A view over the garden of the modern art museum in San Salvador.
A chicken bus near the Honduras / Nicaragua border... Honduras looked very poor. Was goin to the capital Tegucigalpa but was quite a diversion and didn't have time.. so just saw people and countryside, which was beautiful, mostly unspoilt and basic.
Managua, Capital of Nicaragua. I arrived here late at night and was immediately pissed off with everyone telling me how dangeous it was and not to walk in the streets, get a cab everywhere.. :( well, i listened to them in the end and got a cab the 5 blocks from the bus terminal to a hostal. I could see it was a bit dodgy in the morning, but still, shame. Quite a beautiful city in parts, also suffering from lack of investment, corruption and earthquakes. Still, beautiful from certain angles and worth a visit. The countryside was lovely and lush.
A view from the central lake crater over the city to the bay. My funny taxi driver behind :)
Met this gorgeous woman, Mary, in the saturday morning market downtown San Jose, Costa Rica. Turns out she came here 50 years ago, met a german, married him, had two boys and never went back to Tunbridge.
San Jose was fun, and the countryside on Costa Rica is stunning, still, not enough time.. but saw many things I liked. Moreover, its a country you feel very safe in, and the people are friendly.
View from the peninsular to Panama City.
Downtown Panama City, with Leo, a wonderful fella I met and... well, if I were living in this city, I think he would have been my love, but que sera sera, or maybe hubiera sido... heyhoo.. better to have loved, aye?

Me and Siggies on a sunny afternoon, up Audley End House, lovely :)
Sweet Marce getting a rub at Rufus picnic concert, what a lovely night.. had another the following week with Diana Krall, Joana and the boys. Can't beat London hot summer nights, ah...
Just happened to be the GayDay or whatever they call it now... these were the cheeky aussie bum boys.. others were smiling alot more.. for some reason, the equation seems to be more muscles/less smiling? or am I just a bit jealous? haha
Ohhh. lovely Alicante, moonlight nights, sun, sea, sandy afternoons, friends, Oh, what more can a boy want...
Up to the Dutchies in the Hills and to meet the new Donkeys and Doggie.
