Planet Kapow 33 : La Fortuna to Panama City
Posted on August 22, 2011 | No CommentsA TAXI: to the border, an eventless crossing, and here we are. Costa Rica! Now a series of buses – to Liberia, to Cañas, to Tilarán, where there are no more buses and a taxi driver hauls us the rest of the way to La... -
Planet Kapow 32 : Masaya to San Juan del Sur
Posted on August 6, 2011 | 4 CommentsTENSIONS RISE: and drop away constantly within the group; we’re only four, after all, and we’ve been traveling a long time together – seven months, now, for Adam and I, five for the girls. And while traveling alongside three of your best friends can be... -
Planet Kapow 31 : Mombacho Volcano to Big Corn Island
Posted on July 16, 2011 | 5 CommentsMANAGUA IS: full of ugly steel sculptures draped in coloured fairy lights. We drive around in the dark, attempting unsuccessfully to procure tickets for the odyssey that awaits us. Nicaragua’s capital is an unpleasant city in a region infamous for unpleasant cities; driving around in... -
Planet Kapow 29 : Utila to the Bottom of the Sea
Posted on May 26, 2011 | 3 CommentsPEOPLE HAD: been spouting excited stories about Utila as far back as Zacatecas, Mexico, and we had come to imagine a lethargic island of sandy streets and wild, all-night parties. But first impressions aren’t great; from the moment we set foot ashore we are pushed... -
Planet Kapow 28 : Copan Ruinas to La Ceiba
Posted on May 15, 2011 | 4 CommentsBACK IN: San Salvador, we find an ancient station wagon posing as a taxi; our driver is short and rotund, bald but for a horrible slicked-down combover. He squints and has a gold tooth that he sucks on between sentences. Winking, he reaches in the... -
Planet Kapow 24 : Caye Caulker to Tikal
Posted on April 23, 2011 | 4 CommentsWE PASSED: a few lifeless days in Mexico in what we called “rest and reCubaration”, racing through the markets of Chetumal to stock up on all the bits and pieces lost or worn into the ground along the way. When we began to feel the... -
Planet Kapow 22 : Havana to Trinidad
Posted on March 20, 2011 | 8 CommentsCUBA IS: different. Different, I think, from most any country in the world. Certainly different from anywhere I’ve ever been. And with more than two months of distance from the country, that’s still all I can say about it. Not good, not bad, not... -
Planet Kapow 21 : Tulum to Cancun
Posted on March 14, 2011 | 4 CommentsIT WAS: late when we reached Tulum after a long day of buses, and after tossing our belongings into our tiny bungalow, we sat down at the bar, curled our toes in the sand, and ordered a shot of mezcal. It was two... -
Planet Kapow 20 : Palenque to Merida
Posted on March 1, 2011 | 3 CommentsIT WAS: on the bus from San Cristobal de Las Casas to Palenque that I finally had my breakdown. Almost everybody has a traveler tantrum, given enough time – alone among us, I have not seen one from Danielle, but I’m sure it’s... -
Planet Kapow 19 : Taxco to San Cristobal de las Casas
Posted on February 18, 2011 | 6 CommentsHUNGOVER AND: irritated, I sat with the others waiting endlessly for a bus that apparently had no intention of coming. It was a hot day in a dusty little shithole junction town with tuk-tuks screaming past, aggravating my headache and my sullen whining. We were...
