Everyone was out except me, and I turned around in the lounge to see a very large well built black guy standing there, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and a scowl - and holding a big cutlass (machete). But it turned out he was 'jus' passin' an wan know if you wan some coconut, boss'.

Thanks for posting this. My scariest travel story, since we're posting, was getting tear-gassed in a small town in Venezuela. Nothing on your story, I know, but humbling and terrifying none-the-less.steenbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870117999742670522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-40277230320290392072008-01-24T18:13:00.000+00:002008-01-24T18:13:00.000+00:00Phew, goneforeign - glad you're still with us!Phew, goneforeign - glad you're still with us!treefrogdemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08668655760960757921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-51639273052221843802008-01-24T17:21:00.000+00:002008-01-24T17:21:00.000+00:00By the way the story starts on page 35, for those ...By the way the story starts on page 35, for those interestedejaydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375968795284771538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-76570968866932839172008-01-24T16:31:00.000+00:002008-01-24T16:31:00.000+00:00Woah, that is some story!

Have you been back since?<BR/>The scariest thing that happened to me lately was when driving in the middle of nowhere in the Brazilian far west at night, and out tyre exploded, causing a big bang and then a big rattling (the tyre had also bent the car). Luckily my friend controlled the sliding car and we were fine. Had there been a curve ahead though it would've been a different story. The thing is the whole while, Rick James' Superfreak was playing , which will knock the drama out of anything.<BR/>A couple of days later, we found out that this freshly installed tyre was actually 11 years old.<BR/>P.S. I like the subtitle of your story.ejaydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375968795284771538noreply@blogger.com
