Panama
Hi everyone i hope you are all well and in good health upon reading this entry. I just thought i would show you all the route i run in the mornings, the scenery is very nice and there´s a community of runners who also use the route.
Throughout this journey i have followed my six sense and the vibe i get from a place, well i definitely get a good vibe from Panama.
Well it´s short entry today because i am using an internet cafe, the hotel i am staying in basically lied about having wifi. I have not been able to pick up any other signals.
Take care all and i will keep you all updated.

Last day in Venezuela
Hi everyone i hope you are all well upon reading this entry. Well it's my last day in Venezuela, the highlight of this country is the weather, it's been fantastic, you have already heard me speak about the state of the country so i don't think there is any need to repeat myself. I am very thankful to Jacky and Karen, they are family to a friend of mine in England. They have really looked after me and made sure things have run as smoothly as possible. To be quite honest i have not got much to say about this country except it's been an experience.
My next broadcast gods willing will be from Panama, so stand-by for further updates.

Bored to tears
Hi everyone i hope you are all well upon reading this e-mail. I am bored to tears with this place. There is an unsettling atmosphere here which my six sense is picking up. The weekend gone i looked out of my window and just thought, there is nothing here of interest.
When i go to the super market, it is depressing how little they have on sale. What they do have in my opinion is not worth the money.
What is also frustrating is the apartment i have rented, the owner wishes to be paid in dollars. I have tried with the help of my cousin Mark to pay her in Dollars but the banks are saying they need a swift code or sort code in order for the payment to be made. The owner does not seem to have these details. If anyone has any ideas please speak up.
I am not feeling down just very very keen to move on. All i want for my last 5 months is the sun and the beach, i don't think that is too much to ask.
Take it from me when i say we were born and live in a great country. It is not until you travel for a while that you come to realize how good we have things in England.

I am out of here
Hi everyone i hope this message reaches you all in good health. I am well but not happy with the country of Venezuela. First i will list my concerns and then give you a brief explanation.
(1) The theft of my stuff
(2) State of the economy
(3) No brown sugar
(4) Technical problems
(5) Received a complaint about training.
The theft of my stuff at the airport was a bad sign for me about Venezuela, i know they are items that can be replaced but it's just the principle of it that alerted my six sense.
The state of the economy here is very very bad. When you go to the supermarket you can see they are missing a lot of items on the shelves.
I wanted some brown sugar to brown my chicken for my rice and peas at the weekend, they do not have any brown sugar here ( Those of us who can cook will understand how frustrating that is).
Technical problems i have been having here are caused by the poor installation of the internet, i feel like i'm in the stone age.
The straw that broke the camels back. I received a complaint via my friend who lives in the same apartment block as i do. The residents do not like that i exercise at the rear of the building, in the car park area topless.
That was it for me, i decided then and there, this place is not ready for Don Simon.
I am in the process of moving on to Pananma stand-by for updates on my move. I need some beach action.

Venezuela
Hi everyone, i hope you are all well upon reading this entry. I am well and just trying to find my way around Maracaibo Venezuela. To be honest i am not sure about this place, i'm not really feeling the vibe. I think may be it's because the economy here is very bad and simple things like brown sugar you cannot get in the shops.
The beach is about three hours away from my apartment, not what i was expecting. The weather is hot but i am surrounded by buildings and not the sea which is what i wanted. There is a large lake but i am told it is polluted.
I am having difficulties connecting to the internet here, you all know that is my life line to all of you and Europe. The system they have here is either very slow or does not work. I have tried to download some video but with no success.
I plan only to stay here for a month and then move on to Panama. I am told they have some great beaches there and the weather is the same.
Hopefully i will be able to sort out my technical problems and return to some video entries.
