Ok I know I titled the last blog as the last entry from Mexico, but something happened that I must tell. We had our first bribe experience; something that I thought would have happened long before now. Ok so we were moving hotels in Mexico City, Rob was ... Read more >


Last blog from Mexico

MEXICO | Saturday, 30 Oct 2010 | Views [463]

Oaxaca is really nice, I think it is my favourite city that we've been to. Today April and I went to Monte Alban, which is a Zapotec site. It was really hot but we were really impressed; it's way different to Maya sites. April, Rob and Amy had a really ... Read more >


Number 30

It´s the unexpected suprises that I really love on this trip. We wern´t expectingt go to the site of Tonina, but when we changed our plans to stay the night at Ocosingo then only travel the 100kms or so to San Cristobal the next day, we couldn´t waste ... Read more >


Return to the jungle

MEXICO | Thursday, 21 Oct 2010 | Views [528]

The next site, Uxmal, was a site not to miss so we made Amy and Rob come along too. It was pretty expensive to get in, the same as Chichen Itza, but I think it was worth it. The architectural style was the same as the sites we saw the day before, which ... Read more >


Sites, sites and more sites

MEXICO | Sunday, 17 Oct 2010 | Views [407]

We got an early start the morning we went to Chichen Itza because we wanted to avoid the crowds and we ended up being the first people there!! We even had to wait for them to open the gates to get in. It was a really good choice though because we got ... Read more >

MEXICO | Sunday, 17 Oct 2010 | Views [662]

It seems that lately I am writing heaps of blogs, but that probably has something to do with the fact that we are doing so much here in Mexico. We hired a car after all and I think it was the best decision we have made...now we can go anywhere we want ... Read more >


Puerto Morelos

Tantalizing Tulum

MEXICO | Thursday, 7 Oct 2010 | Views [719]

On Tuesday we went to the site of Tulum, which is located right on the beach as you will be able to see from the photos. It is a perfect paradise and it is quite obvious why the Maya would decide to build a city there. Although it was quite small the ... Read more >


The final days in Guatemala :(

MEXICO | Wednesday, 6 Oct 2010 | Views [491]

Panajachel was fun. The week we spent here was filled with days of coffee and cake, walks along the lake, meeting fun and interesting people and various activities including salsa nights, talent shows and boat rides on the lake. It was very relaxing ... Read more >


The longest week of my life...

GUATEMALA | Sunday, 29 Aug 2010 | Views [642] | Comments [1]

After the tiring day of travel and trapsing around the ruins of Copán, Saturday was spent relaxing and doing absolutly nothing! It was great, we bearly left the hotel room all day. This was probably a good thing as we had booked a shuttle for 6am the ... Read more >
