Stayed in a beautiful riad (traditional Moroccan townhouse) in the Medina (old walled city) very close to the main square which was full of acrobats, snake charmers, food stalls and all sorts of carry on. It was like going back in time. Headed off to Agadir to meet up with Ultan's brothers Shane and James for a weeks surf session at Taghazoute which was ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=429656&go=coletteandultan Sat, 8 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=423641&go=coletteandultan In Madrid at the moment - not as cold as we thought it would be and it's lovely and sunny. The Spanish have been protesting since we got here - (hopefully it's nothing to do with us) so there's lotsa excitement about the place. Staying in the uber posh Westin Palace Hotel thanks to Nadia again and due to the comfort and jet lag we are staying in bed until lunchtime so not doing as much sightseeing... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=423641&go=coletteandultan Tue, 4 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=420211&go=coletteandultan We swam through and climbed for 4 hours in the mystical ATM (cave of the Stone Sepulchre) cave where National Geographic have just finished a doco to be called Ancient Bones or something like that. It was pretty amazing seeing all the Mayan artifacts and the skeletal remains of sacrificial victims - the photos for this are in the Belize section. Went to Tikal in Guatemala on a day trip from Beli... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=420211&go=coletteandultan Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=415319&go=coletteandultan Arrived in Belize this morning after a pleasant and short flight from Miami. A friend of ours Alex who we met in Costa Rica (Alex runs this great travel agency promoting Belize - check out his website - there are some beautiful videos of Belize there:www.discoveringbelize.com and who is from Belize city picked us up and we had lunch at his place before he went back to work.

Stayed in the Clay Hotel - an old art deco institution where they used to film Miami Vice and Al Capone had an illegal gambling and drinking din there in the 30's. Everybody was super friendly a la "have a nice day!!!" and the huge cars (lotsa Mustangs and Bentleys and... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=415317&go=coletteandultan Wed, 14 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=406611&go=coletteandultan Lovin this place ... having a holiday from our holiday. We spent 10 days chillin' out at Santa Teresa by the sea on the Nicoya Peninsula... lotsa surf and hammock time ... PURA VIDA! San Jose was a complete dodge city so we only stayed there a night and got the hell out, caught bus and then a boat across the water to the Nicoya Peninsula and then changed buses to a minibus that could handle the cr... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=406611&go=coletteandultan Mon, 22 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=403928&go=coletteandultan After spending a night or two in La Paz booking our train journey to Uyuni from Oruro and meeting up with Connor and Sharon from Galway for a night out (we met in Patagonia) we were ready to tackle the Salt Flats of Uyuni and the backside breaking 3 day tour in a jeep that everyone was raving about. We caught an early local bus to Oruro from La Paz on Friday 12th but only leaving the city once the... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=403928&go=coletteandultan Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=397531&go=coletteandultan We arrived in Cusco on Monday night 1 October. It's v different to La Paz - really geared up for tourists and less edgy. Cusco is amazingly well preserved. It was originally built by the Incas and evidence of their amazing stone masonry is everywhere. We stayed in the old quarter - San Blas in a chilled little place - Casa de la Gringa - owned by an American hippy. The next day we met up with Ult... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=397531&go=coletteandultan Tue, 2 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=396782&go=coletteandultan The journey from Arica to La Paz despite being almost an hour late beginning was quite enjoyable as bus rides go. We go to go past Lake Lauca National Park on the border with Chile and Bolivia. Got our first dose of high altitude and both felt quite weak and dizzy getting back on the bus after passport control. The park is amazing, snow capped volcanoes, pink flamingos by the lakes edge and lotsa ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=396782&go=coletteandultan Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=396761&go=coletteandultan We spent the night of 16 September in the lovely Bellavista hostel in the boho Bellavista area of Santiago and flew the next morning to Arica in Nth Chile on the border with Peru and Bolivia. The flight was great as we flew directly over the Andes. As we neared Arica the landscape became more and more desolate. Arica is in the desert man and for two people from a wet little island in the Atlantic ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=396761&go=coletteandultan Mon, 17 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT
