So finishing off the previous South America blog posts are still yet to happen. Partly because life and work got in the way, but mostly because when I eventually sat down to start writing them again I’d forgotten what happened and when. I have a lot of memories but pinpointing them to an exact location and point in time is less easy. Which is ironic, as that was the whole point of these, to help us remember what we did and when (and also to keep my dear old mum up-to-date on what we were doing, hi mum!). So maybe one day I’ll finish those off. But for now I’ll be adding some new memories.
We’re off backpacking again! Possibly fools for attempting to do so in a global pandemic but here we are. By ‘we’ I mean myself and my cousin Grace, we made it 7 months last time without killing each other so figured we’d try it again.
This trip is a lot less planned than the previous one, we have a one way ticket to Cancun, three nights accommodation booked and a vague plan of heading down through central America, oh and some rusty Spanish not practiced in three years. The rest we’re planning to figure out as we go.
I’m planning to do a post about our progress every few days, including what we’re up to, who we’re with and any interesting or funny things that happen along the way. Hopefully we have just as much fun as last time but preferably without repeating the shootings or emergency surgery parts!
See you all on the other side. Lots of love, Alice x
