We were up early to catch our bus to Puerto Vallarta, and then on to Sayulita. Sayulita is a smaller town 45 minutes north, We had heard about this place from Barrett and Jess who said that this is the only place they come to when visiting Mexico. We traveled for most of the day and on arriving in Puerto Vallarta felt the warm humid air smack us as we walked out the bus station. We caught a local bus to Sayulita and enjoyed the journey through lush scenery. A ...

We traveled all day to Guadalajara and, after taking a bus and badly sign-posted Metro, we arrived at our bare-bones hotel. For some reason they gave us a room with three double beds in it - maybe Kevin and I looked like we didn't like each other very much. We showered and went to find some food and see the sites. Guadalajara is the second biggest city in a Mexico and has been described as "chilled Mexico City." After visiting smaller quaint places over the past...

After an awful night sleep because our dorm mate was up and down the entire night - using the bathroom, walking up and down the stairs, turning the light on to pack his bag. Thank goodness he finally left at 05:30 which gave us 2 hours to get some sleep. Our alarm went off and we woke up completely bleary eyed. Kevin had been bitten by something in the night so his lower back was covered with bites... :( Not a great start to the day. We packed quickly, ate some ...

I left Mexico City with a heavy heart and spent most of the bus journey to San Miguel saying to Kevin "I had the best time in Mexico City... I wish we could stay longer." I figured we had reached the high point of our trip and that every other place we visited after it would pale in comparison. How I was wrong. We arrived in San Miguel and felt like we had stepped into a fairy tale - it is an UNESCO Heritage Site complete with cobble stone streets, a beautiful ...

On Friday, 3 July we woke up early and took a Metro and then local bus to Teotihuacan which is 48km N.E of Mexico City. It is a famous site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. As you know I am not really interested in history, a couple interesting facts here or there are fine but spending a whole day in the heat looking at pyramids that pretty much look the same - not my idea of fun! I usuall...
