Incidents of Travel in Central and South America 2010

Last blog from Mexico

MEXICO | Saturday, 30 Oct 2010 | Views [488]

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

MEXICO | Sunday, 24 Oct 2010 | Views [477]

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 [553]

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 [430]

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 >


Mexican Road Trip

MEXICO | Sunday, 17 Oct 2010 | Views [684]

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

MEXICO | Monday, 11 Oct 2010 | Views [345]

It is funny how plans change...it seems as soon as we make any plans to go somewhere they change. The plan was to go to Cancun and pick up Rob and Amy from the airport and stay somewhere in Cancun...we picked them up alright but instead of staying in ... Read more >

Tantalizing Tulum

MEXICO | Thursday, 7 Oct 2010 | Views [749]

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 [511]

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 >


Landslides

GUATEMALA | Friday, 1 Oct 2010 | Views [379]

Hi everyone, this is just a quick blog to let everyone know that although there are landslides here at the moment we are both fine. Right now we are still in Panajachel and are meant to leave tomorrow morning, but I don´t think we will be going anywhere ... Read more >


The Lady with the Shawl

GUATEMALA | Friday, 24 Sep 2010 | Views [921] | Comments [1]

It has been a couple of weeks since I've blogged, so sorry about that. We haven't really doing any exciting travel so I though that I'd just combine the last 2 weeks in one blog. The lab work has finally come to an end and we are now at the feast in ... Read more >


The Feast of Trumpets

GUATEMALA | Saturday, 11 Sep 2010 | Views [682] | Comments [1]

Our adventure in Guatemala City began with me wanting to accompany April on her Holy Day quest to find the service of the Feast of Trumpets here in Guatemala City. "The Feast of Trumpets introduces the autumn festivals—representing the culmination ... Read more >


Back to work...

GUATEMALA | Wednesday, 8 Sep 2010 | Views [412]

Semuc Champey was amazing!!! First of all we got to ride in the back of a pick-up truck to the caves, which was a lot of fun considering the road was bearly wide enough for 1 car let alone when you had to pass someone else. Then we had to traverse a waterfall ... Read more >


The longest week of my life...

GUATEMALA | Sunday, 29 Aug 2010 | Views [669] | 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 >

Quite a lot has happened since I last left you with the blog. April had written this amazing entry on her experience in San Pedro and it was really funny to read all the crazy things she´d been upto. She was just about to post it here when her computer ... Read more >


Sickness, Spanish, and saying goodbye

GUATEMALA | Tuesday, 17 Aug 2010 | Views [463] | Comments [1]

Wednesday was not a good day for me...I think I may have gotten food poisoning on Tuesday night, so I was down for the count on Wednesday not even able to get out of bed. It was the worst feeling as you could probably imagine if you have ever had food ... Read more >

One week down and one more to go in San Pedro and Spanish school. Its amazing how quickly we are learning Spanish, i was beginning to think that my brain had absorbed all it ws ever going to...the words are finally sinking in. Spanish is actually a really ... Read more >


First week in San Pedro - Esceula de Español

GUATEMALA | Sunday, 8 Aug 2010 | Views [456]

All I have to say is that San Pedro is amazing!! It is so nice to wake up every day to a beautiful view, knowing that you get to spend the morning learning Spanish and waste away the afternoon drinking licuados and trying to do Spanish homework while ... Read more >
