Travel stats - December 2002

SOME STATS
Yesterday was day 200 on the road.
Last night was our 96th different bed since leaving. Our last night in Panama will be an even hundred.
In our hotel or hostel rooms we have had ants, cockroaches, geckos, spiders, a slug, one rat and an over friendly Nicaraguan mouse that joined me in bed one morning.
We have never had a butterfly a kitten or a puppy in our room.
We've crossed 22 international borders – ten at airports, six on a bus, three on a train, two on foot and one on a boat on the Mekong river.
We've caught 68 different buses.
Over the last six months apart from planes and trains etc we've also traveled via motorcycle, bicycle, tricycle, cyclo, tuk-tuk, jeepney, school bus, pick-up truck, tram, speedboat, riverboat, row boat, ferry boat, bamboo raft, inflatable raft, horse and an elephant.
We've seen two dead people – Lenin and Chairman Mao.

Here's our average spend per day for Central America

  • Mexico: US$50.25 (19.5 days)
  • Belize: US$56.50 (4 days)
