Another early start but we were ahead of the game by waking at 5.30am. It’s a gorgeous morning and we are on the road by 8.30am. It’s a good time to drive when the air is cool, though it’s also a good time to be relaxing in bed…:) Again today…
It’s another hot sticky night. I guess the further south we go, the warmer it will get. We are looking forward to the cooler climes on Southern Chile right now. It’s a pain not having a working fridge, so Tim suggested we strip it down and see if we can…
We woke to a glorious morning. It’s our plan to move on today. Objective, the city of Manazanliio. Looking around the beaches and bays on both sides of the promontory we are camped on, there are signs of future development. White topped painted sticks poked into the ground seeming to…
Our camp site last night was in a truck and bus park that they achieve some additional income from allowing campers to park. It’s surrounded by big hotels but has toilets and showers, of a kind. Occasionally there is water in both. The beach is about 50m away. We had…
Day 161 Tuesday 7th. It’s a nice flat grassy campsite but so close to the water that the surf crashing against the wall below us was deafening. We were packed up and on our way by 8.30am. Sarah has found a beach site on the overland app that has good…
Day 159. 5th Jan It was a leisurely assembly this morning. A lovely setting, right on the beach but we decided to move on by 10am and get closer to Mazatlan. That gives us only another 400+ k’s to Puerto Vallarta. It’s the airport that Jen will be flying into…
Day 157. 2nd Jan. It’s 8.30pm and we have just enjoyed a lovely evening in chairs around a fire. I even managed to cook myself, an amazing Gordon Blue meal. Sausages, eggs on toast with mushrooms and a big mug of hot tea. Gordon Ramsey, eat your heart out…:) Back…
Wed. 1st January. Happy New Year to all. Well, the morning flew by. I was just finishing breakfast when there was a knock on the front of Poki. A Frenchman, Rom, must have seen the Landy from the other end of the camp site and came to say Hi! He…
29th December The departure from home in Rotorua was very orderly this time. I think we are starting to get the hang of packing up and leaving. Marcus and Julie, two English friends are house sitting for us for a few months till they return to England in April. The…
Only a week to go to Christmas and nine days from departure, to return to Mexico. We are relaxed about our preparedness for Stage 3. Today we had booster Tetanus and Hepatitis A jabs. There are so many other inoculations available but we decided the risks to be negligible. Yellow…
