Around The World In 80 Waves

First lets talk about the roads. I never thought I would say this but Mexico seems like paradse in comparison. The concession to road safety here is to paint the trees that encroach the road white so you might see them in the dark.

The drivers are absolutely crazy, After one day of driving  I have lost count of how many chicken runs I have had already as a result of lorries overtaking on blind bends! I had to drive in the dark upon arrival, but never again.

Second the people are tiny so there really is little point in me pretending to be local.

The tallest person I have seen can be 5’7″ at best. I really am a giant here in comparison.

However everybody seeems friendly enough and most people I interact with are keen to warn me about possible problems, thieves, etc. You still get bled for a bit more money than the locals on most things but by western standards that is still dirt cheap.
