Monday 1 July - Wednesday 3 July Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Mayan Riviera, Quintana Roo Back on mainland Mexico, our first job was to find a bed for the night. Not a difficult job considering its low season (apparently) and PdC is dominated by Hotels, Hostals and B&B's. Truth is I got hustled......a nice enough room but the promise of wifi and hot water never came to bear, and for the price we paid, those are basics in my book. So after refusing me a d...

Sunday 23 June - Monday 1 July Cozumel Island We decided to break up a 24hr bus journey to Cozumel Island with a stop over in Villahermosa for the night. There wasn't much of interest to us in Villahermosa, so we enjoyed a long lunch in town before boarding a night bus to Playa Del Carmen in Quintana Roo. After not much sleep and an air conditioner dripping water on me for 12 hours, we arrived in the pretty beach town of PdC, its a party town with loads of cl...

Monday 17 June - Saturday 22 June Oaxaca (pronounced Wahaca) We eased into the first of many bus trips, with a 6-hour GL (luxury) service from the Capital to the quaint city of Oaxaca.

Home to some 27 million people, Mehico Thitty is loco! Nevermind the altitude change - headache deluxe whilst adjusting. Three days was enough for us but not enough to see it all. We hit the touristy things here, Luche Libre (Mexican wrestling) for a good larf and a way to meet ...

Thursday 6 June - Wednesday 12 June Rosarito, Mexico/Baja California Put simply......we came for 3 days, stayed for a week (and coulda/woulda/shoulda stayed longer). A week we will both savour for some time. We crossed into Mexico via the Tijuana border without as much as a blink, no passport control, no customs inspections, no nothing.......nada, that was easy, too easy. But hey, ask questions later right? "Onwards to Rosarito, please Maggie!" (our lovely ch...
