Border Crossing Into The Land of the Free.... Tam: 29 hours it took by bus to get from Mazatlan to Tijuana. We survived the ride with its multiple drug checks (you have to get off the bus, and random bag searches are performed by the military). I have to say, it was the easiest busride I have ever had and felt nothing like 30 hours. We checked into a hotel for the night and were scheduled for a greyhound bus into Los Angeles (5 hours away) the next day. It...

Feliz Navidad Tam: Christmas in Mexico was spent at a beautiful resort in Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay. We treated ourselves to a junior suite for xmas eve and xmas day. The resort had one main infinity pool overlooking the pacific ocean and a couple of other pools both with swim up bars. Although it is technically winter time, the pools were heated a little and in the sun, still felt like a summer's day. Needless to say we spent most of our time in the pools, sipp...

Our guide Miguel took us to two tequila distilleries, the first (" tres mujeres") of ...

The Most Mosts Tam & Coxy: • Guanajuato, the town with the most alleyways and tiny lanes, set in a valley surrounded by hills. This is where we chose to stay for six nights, snug as a bug in the prettiest colonial town we have seen yet • La Casa de Dante, the "hostel" with the most hospitable hosts, the most delicious of gourmet breakfasts served like a fine dining restaurant free each morning. Here is what we were treated with each day; • Chiles ...

First Impressions..... Tam: Mexico City, I must admit, at first was not all to write home about. It could have been that we had taken 19 hours on a bus to get there, found it difficult to find decent accomodation in our price range and our first day exploring the historic centre (centro historico) was on foot getting lost in and amongst at least 20 millipn people. Not mention the pollution, foul smell and very noisy hotel. But gradually as we got to know the p...
