TG#33 – Sleep in a Tree AND TG#38 – Walk to a Project
So, a double-whammy on Traveller’s Guide items this weekend, which itself has been pretty eventful. (Sorry, but there are no photos to go with this post – as you’ll see below I had to travel light, and that meant leaving my camera behind.)
A Visit to Aishalton
The weekend just passed was a bit of a mini adventure for Harry and I. Monday of this week (the 6th) was a national holiday, so we decided to use our 3-day weekend to visit Aishalton, the southernmost project in Guyana. It was one of the top things on our to-do list for the term, … Continue reading
Rainy Season in Guyana
You may have noticed that I haven’t posted in a long time. This is partly because the start of term has been pretty busy, but mainly it’s because it is now the rainy season in Guyana. It started roughly when I got back to Sand Creek (3 weeks ago) and will still be going when … Continue reading
TG#20 – Extreme Ironing (Photo 1)
Ironing my shorts at Kaieteur Falls! Just by the by… this required me to borrow an ironing board, persuade the airline to carry it, and then carry it around the national park for nearly 2 hours! I won some very odd looks from our companions, but it was worth it!

There’s a funky map with awesome little red dots … Continue reading

Easter Email
Easter is here everyone – chocolate time! Except it’s not, as chocolate is quite expensive in Guyana, and it’s far too hot to enjoy properly 😛 At the end of the Christmas term I sent out a long email about everything that had happened over the last 15 weeks, so I’ve done the same this … Continue reading
