Adios USA. Hola Panama!



We have arrived in wet n soggy Panama so thought it was about time to mention our adventures in the u.s of a!

A few lessons we learnt whilst there:
- If you ever find yourself unemployed in L.A, spend your time watching TV sitcom filmings, free tickets, free food, free drinks! what more could you want!
- Matts hand twin is Bruce Willis (Hollywood)
- Mojave Desert campground is scarily remote with lots of deadly snakes, not great for a good nights sleep camping!
- Whoever wrote the mile markers for the hiking trails around the Mojave Desert was very misguided as to how far a mile actually is.
- 55 degrees centigrade is a bit on the warm side for hiking down, let alone up the Grand Canyon!! Absolutely spectacular all the same!
- In Monument Valley every car magically has off-road capabilities......even a fiat panda? I think not!
- Best way to describe Vegas.... Barry Island on acid!

We´ve had a great time so far, and looking forward to the next few months in Central America, hopefully with not a burger and fries in sight!

  1. You've only been there five minutes and you've already got us all jealous here in't Ark. Amazing pictures - brought back memories of Las Vegas for me, dancing girls, cheese in a can and plastic rocks. Great to see you looking so happy (damn your eyes).
