Four weeks

Four weeks was too long in Belize. I’m not sure what the critical variable is here. It could be that four weeks is too long for Belize, but wouldn’t be to long for, say, China. It might be that four weeks is too long for anywhere if the temperatures are in the mid-eighties and the humidity is at 90 percent. It might be that four weeks is too long when you’re living in hotels and on the move everyday. It might not have been too long if we had ever had a really good, bug-free verandah to sit on and do nothing for a day or two. Or it might have just been us.

I know other folks who have spent far longer than four weeks on the road and they seem to have enjoyed it. Obviously, there are too many variables here – we’re going to have to experiment.
