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…
Sleep came last night but it wasn’t easy. Revolving in my mind, the events of yesterday with the Police. Lessons. Not to stop for police unless unavoidable. It has made us much wiser, realising the police were of dishonourable intent, and will be treated so, from now. In future, we…
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…
Not a great nights sleep. It was freezing cold though we were warm and snug. At around 5am lightening started flashing again and thunder rolled around the mountains for about an hour. Today we were hoping to see one of the natural wonders of the world, the mass flying of…
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…
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…
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…
