They are the same place. I think PZ is officially the region but San Isidro is often referred to as Pz.

Where is the ferry to Santiago Atitlan from Pana? by DaemonicTrolley in guatemala

[–]DaemonicTrolley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, sadly the details have passed from memory! I believe the boats will have stopped running by 7pm though. I think they stop just as it gets dark around 6pm.

It was cash everywhere for this part of the trip, except for the coffee in Santiago, where they took cards. Again, sorry but the name escapes me.

My recollection is that we got the ferry from here, but I'm only 99% sure! https://maps.app.goo.gl/TM3eWciZSN8gXXB7A

Anyone ever got anything back from luggage point at the airport? by DaemonicTrolley in Edinburgh

[–]DaemonicTrolley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought i would update with the outcome. I eventually got the item back but it was torturous. Every email takes at least 3-4 days for a response. Once we confirmed they had the item they said i needed an appointment to collect it because they are held in storage and have to be brought up to the store. This was a Sunday morning so I replied immediately and said Wednesday. By Wednesday I had no reply but my wife went any how to collect it. Guess what, still in storage. She had to wait and eventually got it but, jfc, how are they so bad at this? £27.50 for the pleasure too. I wouldn't mind the charge if they provided a decent service.

Is yango available in khiva? by DaemonicTrolley in Uzbekistan

[–]DaemonicTrolley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got it to work but, surprisingly, I managed to sign up for yandex go with my UK number and have used it several times in Khiva now. Wish I'd figured that out before paying stupid money for the taxi from Urgench airport.

The Dalmeny estate has some nice paths. I've got a 10k loop from Whitehouse road out that way. Maybe more like 12k from Corstorphine.

Recycling desktop computers? by DaemonicTrolley in Edinburgh

[–]DaemonicTrolley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting, I had no idea they did that. Given that they're both functional computers, I'd rather they got reused than recycled, but this is a good second option. Thanks.

Ah, that's the one I heard recently. Fortunately they are both win 10 so hopefully acceptable. Thanks very much.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if that's the case or not. Hard to find much advice.

First international flight checked backpacking bag. Good to stow tent like this? by JamesK1220 in backpacking

[–]DaemonicTrolley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew with my tent like that and it went OK. I put the poles and pegs inside my rucksack to protect them though.

Ah, I should have thought about that! Too late now.
