Helen: Nothing very much to report today - went exploring yesterday and thursday - made way more difficult than it needed to be by the almost total lack of road signs on the island. But, we had a Royal Navy navigator doing the driving, so we got home ok eventually.
We had breakfast in the national park yesterday - C was over the moon as he finally got to use his new super geeky camp stove which burns just about anything you care to put in it. We had 'Hebrew Sausages' (it said on the packet 'We answer to a higher authority'!) and eggs (any way you liked as long as it was fried). Next stop was an ostrich farm - not terribly inspiring - C said they all looked and behaved like giant chickens - they do have v anthropomorphic faces though - all disney big eyes and lashes. But don't be fooled - apparently the males can run at 50mph for over an hour and can kill a man with one kick... Yikes.
Other than that it's been washing, cleaning the boat, fetching water and provisioning. We're off to Cartagena in Columbia this afternoon - should take 3-5 days depending on the weather and whether we stop or not.
H & C xx

Hi, nice to hear all your stories and adventures. Tell Charlie I've got one of those mega stoves - great arent they! Running petrol gets a bit messy though.
Have you guys thought of putting your adentures on a map? Google maps now you can plot lines and shade in areas. Need to register then go to 'My Maps'. It would be great to 'see' where you've been and I think it clocks how many miles are covered.
Best of luck in your travels.

I was so stimulated by your latest "travelogue" that I have been browsing around Cartagena and Panama Canal on Google world - amazing number of photos of the castle in Cartagena - looks incredible!
Caro and Mark are in Wales for a couple of weeks - they have found a flat in Glasgow, so will be off as soon as I return from Oz.
Much love, Susan xx
