Latin America

Highlights Equipment Review Final Route Highlights The original blog – “roylloydjones” – started out as an almost daily journal from my eleven month backpacking trip around Latin America in 2005/06, recording daily events as I travelled by any mode of transport available – car, bus, train, aeroplane, rickshaw, canoe, sail boat, speed boat and ferry, [...]

Photography

During the trip to Latin America, I used a Konica Minolta DiMAGE X20, which at 2megapixel is highly inferior in todays market. I think it worked pretty well throughout, until it died in Panama, on the beach at Playa Venao, right after taking some photos of some cows! Below is a small selection of photos [...]

Day 191 – Wednesday 29th March 2006 Arriving at the Bolivian border at 7am the formalities were pretty straightforward and I got another stamp in my passport. It was immediately obvious as I walked from the border to the bus terminal that Bolivia was definately not a first world country.

Tegucigalpa: Given a Guided Tour

Tegucigalpa: Travel Day

Day 110 – Saturday 7th Janaury 2006 6am. That was the time that the only ferry to mainland Honduras left from Utila. So it was that after 4 hours sleep we found ourselves bleary eyed and wandering the 500m or so to the ferry terminal. We boarded and waited around, and the ferry eventually set [...]
