Well, after a great day yesterday, this morning there were no healthy survivors. I woke thinking, I better get to the boy’s room pronto! Just made it. Jen said she wan’t feeling too great either. She was complaining of aches all over and couldn’t get out of bed Watching Sarah…
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…
Up real early this morning to a cold grey day. We are heading in to see some of the Mexican capital. Our supplies are running low so we did without porridge for breakfast, having granola and papaya instead. Getting all six of us into a wee VW Polo taxi from…
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…

Our night in the car park of the ruins at Tzintzuntzan passed relatively peacefully. The farmer came for his cows at 4.00 am. I was vaguely aware of them passing, but they were pretty quiet. We planned to be packed up by 9.00 am and to visit the ruins before…
Our camp last night was in the woods. Only 80m from a dusty track but fortunately there were not too many passing vehicles. It was a lovely cool night. The duvet came out for the first time in ages. Mind you we are at 2300m. This morning it was only…
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…
