Saying our farewells to Stretch and Lucinda from the US, Bryn and Tacey from Costa Rica and Vancouver Island, Stuart and Helen from Scotland and Northern Ireland and our hosts Leanne and Calvin, we set off to explore the Valle de Tlacolula. Our first stop was the Sunday market in…
After such exiting days, those when we have to rest and recuperate seem very anticlimactic. I say rest and recuperate. However, it is usually a question of catching up with washing, mechanics and administration. So, we are stationary in Santa Maria Del Tule. One could say we are fortunate to…
What an adventure we had today! Surviving the night in Walmart’s car park, we were none of us well rested. Anxious after all the dire warnings we had been given. Choosing a small, non-toll road, we headed off for San Jose Del Chilar and a visit to the canyon where…
The sick are recovering. Not yet quite 100%, but improving. It was decided we would take the day relatively easily. A drive into the historic centre of Puebla and then out of the city to Cholula. Only about 14 kms away. Getting into the city centre was short and we…
Not rushing to leave our 4 star hotel room at Hotel Punto MX, we were up late and had a leisurely buffet breakfast. Our plan was to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum the “Casa Azul”. We decided to go via the Metro. A few blocks walk from the hotel, we…
After yesterday’s exertions climbing pyramids, today was a lazy day. We stayed at our camp site at Rancho Viejo and did some chores. Washing, cleaning out Poki’s cupboards and some minor repairs and maintenance. So, not a very exciting blog, I’m afraid. Dennis spent hours trying to find a way…
Going back to yesterday, Dennis advised I would tell you about our unexpected sighting of the Monarch butterflies. The five of us set off for what was supposed to be a short horse ride. We walked over to the area where the horses were corralled. The guides picked out mounts…
A peaceful night within the gated Hotel La Quinta de Andreas car park. A leisurely start, as we have to wait for the refrigeration engineer to return the fridge. It cannot be fixed. The compressor has failed and cannot be repaired. A replacement cannot be obtained here, due to the…
Saying goodbye to Sandy, Ellie and Kate, we set off from Rancho Buganvillias early. We planned to roll at 08.00, but it was 08.30 by the time we were on the road. We had been warned the road was winding and narrow. It was certainly winding, but coming from the…
A peaceful night under the coconut palms. Or, more correctly in a space among the trees, so no coconuts could fall on us. We were on the road by 10.00am, heading south. The Michoaocan coast is reputed to be the most beautiful coastal drive in Mexico. We have been advised…
