Lazy and Home

Yes I am bad. I am lazy. Slovenly. Loafish. I haven't updated my blog in ages. I have been "busy" doing other things. Reading. Spanish classes. Travelling. Training. Not much else.
Back home now. In Kenilworth, Warks., England. Looking vaguely for employment of a short term variety. Life back in the economic crisis is actually worse than i thought. Work wise anyway. Im sure there are a tonne of jobs if you want one. And also that you need to work alot harder than before to not even get the same results.
But its nice to be back, with family and friends. Not much changed, although I think I have.

Ok so brief summary of the last few weeks. Popayan (colombia) a very pretty city best known for its Easter Holy Week processions, great if you are a Catholic. San Agustin (Colombia) accesible only via The Road To Hell, a 100km ride from Popayan, that takes 6 hours, the road doesnt deserve to be called a road. You literally crawl along at 15km the whole way because it is basically a collection of holes, held together by some concrete. Anyway, once you get there, its a lovely village next to a very important archeological site, lots of stone carvings of animals, man, manimals etc from pre Christ, ie well old.

A sad farewell to Colombia, I had a great time in a great country, surrounded by great people. The trip home was softened somewhat by a 4 day stay in Rio de Janeiro, one of my favourite cities on the planet Earth. I stayed with Antonio and Patricia, a wonderful couple who like to party and know everyone you need to know in Rio it would seem, anyway, they always seem to show one a good time. Partied pretty hard, in stark contrast to my Puritan behaviour of the last 6 weeks in Colombia (well almost Puritan).

And then the journey home. 10.5 hours flew by, crap food, 5 hours sleep, some TV and a bit of banter past the time away. Luckily arrived back to blue sky and 21 degrees otherwise I may have turned round at T5 and gone home.

Next step is to work out my next step. Most likely, 3 months working in London, save some dosh and then head off again.
