Jumping around like Marty Mcfly (time travel, not Parkinson’s) – moving forward with the blog
November 26, 2007Blame the rum for the title, apologies to MichaelJ if you are reading.. Confusingly, before moving on with my mission to Mexico City through Mayan Mexico, lets go back to Puerto Escondido briefly.. Here are some photos that were sent to me by Doug, an Australian who I met at the Mayflower hostel. Some rare [...]
Dead skin is shed at a rate equal to the size of Wales (2 billion whales approx.) every day
November 26, 2007Every so often facts are thrown around comparing something to the size of Wales per day. Does anyone really know how big Wales is though? (not an intentional slur on Wales by the way, more on the people banding such statistics around) And why do so many things happen that are the size of Wales? [...]

Merlin, if you are reading this, you are welcome to write a guest post. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the pretty pictures: QUITO TO MONTANITA PHOTO GALLERY HERE! And as always, [...]
Quito and the ascent of Iliniza Norte, Ecuador
September 24, 2007A slightly different format for this post.. Rather than ramble on, then slap some photos at the bottom of the post with a link to the gallery, captions have been attached to the photos and the presentation has been fixed in a different style – much like one of those photo diaries you might find in the red tops [...]
