Today saw me travelling a further 244km South from Taxco to Acapulco, with the drive taking about 5hrs! I'm pleased to announce that speedy was replaced by a much more sensible driver 'Cousin Slow Poke' - which is probably why instead of taking 4 hrs, the drive in fact took us 5!! Oh well, at least I got here in one piece!! Today wasn't made easy by the fact that the driver didn't speak English and I don't speak Spanish!! Which is fine... I was more than happ...

Today I said goodbye to Mexico City (if only for a couple of days) and made my way 183km South to a place called Taxco! One thing can be said about tours in Mexico City, is that they don't take a page out of Cousin Slow Pokes book. In fact they are always early! I got a call 30mins before my designated pickup time to say that my tour guide was in the foyer waiting for me!! Holy crap, I still had to check out!! I bustled myself, and all of my luggage into the b...

I asked a police man if he could please point me in the direction of Paseo de la Reforma and pointed t...

Today I explored the south of Mexico City, taking a short taxi ride to Coyoacan! I started off with a bit of culture at the Frida Kahlo Museum, which was great to explore!! After seeing the portraits of Frida, I am no longer concerned about my mono-brow as she takes the crown!!! But she is an amazing woman who had sparkled her way through life with a disability! She never complained about it, just represented her pain through her paintings! Very inspiring! I ...

I finally made it to Mexico after my plane was delayed by 3 hours! The announcement that no-one wants to hear... Your plane has been delayed for a minor maintenance issue.... Hmmmm, again I've seen more than enough episodes of air investigations to realise that minor maintenance can be major!! But again my lucky travel charm payed off and they brought in a replacement plane!! Yay!! This morning I woke up to actually see the view from my hotel.... Prime locatio...
