An early morning dip in the Cenote and then on the road to the ruins at Uxmal. A very smart entrance and proper shops and a hotel. Even a tour operator, Maya Adventures, who are using multi-coloured Land Rovers. The entrance fee came as a shock. 480 Pesos per person.…
Setting off about an hour after Tim and Sarah, we had been doing some research into replacement fridges. I had some suggestions from the Pan Am Facebook site and was given a contact for Dometic here in Mexico. Am in discussion with him now. Hampered by the lack of wifi…
A hot, damp, humid morning. The howler monkeys were roaring in the distant trees, but we couldn’t see them. The washing I did the afternoon before was still as wet as when I first hung it out. In fact the weather got worse and started to rain heavily. Saying goodbye…
Today we found “U-TOPE-ia!! Never ending topes. Our journey was just over 100 kilometres, but it took us 4 hours. Very wearisome. The constant changing down to first gear to climb over. Worse still the occasional one you don’t see in the dappled shadow and crash over. Most are unmarked.…
Today was to be a long driving day. Up early for a swim in the pool at Balneario Ojo De Agua. When I arrived the only other people in the water were Tim, Sarah and the kids. I climbed in slowly, as the first few yards into the water were…
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…
