On an early morning bus in Honduras and have just realised (horror upon horrors) we've left the vegemite behind. Me - I could care less about the putrid stuff. Mark's a little less blasé.
I am quite bummed about the rest of the food we left behind - my stomach is getting more and more insistent in reminding me it's breakfast time. Also that bag of mixed nuts, olives, apples and hard boiled eggs would have made a pretty amazing backpacker bus breakfast. Agh stop thinking of food Bridget!!!!
So other than a loudly growling stomach what is news?? I can walk sans hobble. We had our friend Allen join us over the Christmas, New Year break (bringing the much loved vegemite). We've crossed seven borders and been to five countries. Milestone birthdays have been celebrated and Maya step pyramid visited. We've taken numerous chicken buses and seen a multitude of men dresses in cowboy regalia complete with seriously cool Texan style cowboy hats. At 5 hours we've had our slowest boarder crossing yet and if I ever see rice and beans (gallo pinto) again it'll be too soon!!!
We've also finally made our decision on what we do and where we go and the end of our traveling circus. With just six weeks* left of a three year traveling adventure we'll be hitting London for two weeks and then downwards towards home, Perth. It wasn't a terribly easy choice, nor particularly fun for Allen to watch as we made it, but it's done and personally I'm looking forward to heading back to Australia after over six years travel and living abroad.
Mark being the clever dickens that he is, has a job lined up back in Perth, amusingly enough with a group of lawyers that I once worked with.
I've started actually writing out a list of meals I plan to cook as opposed to just day dreaming about them. We're staying with my folks who have about the best kitchen I've ever seen!!
I think I'll write a separate blog each for Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras. We spent about 3 hours in Guatemala catching buses between boarders so there really isn't too much to share.
I'll leave you with a photo from this current bus journey. As you can see three years of travel has matured me nicely :)
*slightly shocked at tht. It feels like our leaving drinsk in London were just a few months ago.
