Our night in the car park of the ruins at Tzintzuntzan passed relatively peacefully. The farmer came for his cows at 4.00 am. I was vaguely aware of them passing, but they were pretty quiet. We planned to be packed up by 9.00 am and to visit the ruins before…
Our camp last night was in the woods. Only 80m from a dusty track but fortunately there were not too many passing vehicles. It was a lovely cool night. The duvet came out for the first time in ages. Mind you we are at 2300m. This morning it was only…
A peaceful night within the gated Hotel La Quinta de Andreas car park. A leisurely start, as we have to wait for the refrigeration engineer to return the fridge. It cannot be fixed. The compressor has failed and cannot be repaired. A replacement cannot be obtained here, due to the…
Another early start but we were ahead of the game by waking at 5.30am. It’s a gorgeous morning and we are on the road by 8.30am. It’s a good time to drive when the air is cool, though it’s also a good time to be relaxing in bed…:) Again today…
Saying goodbye to Sandy, Ellie and Kate, we set off from Rancho Buganvillias early. We planned to roll at 08.00, but it was 08.30 by the time we were on the road. We had been warned the road was winding and narrow. It was certainly winding, but coming from the…
It’s another hot sticky night. I guess the further south we go, the warmer it will get. We are looking forward to the cooler climes on Southern Chile right now. It’s a pain not having a working fridge, so Tim suggested we strip it down and see if we can…
A peaceful night under the coconut palms. Or, more correctly in a space among the trees, so no coconuts could fall on us. We were on the road by 10.00am, heading south. The Michoaocan coast is reputed to be the most beautiful coastal drive in Mexico. We have been advised…
We woke to a glorious morning. It’s our plan to move on today. Objective, the city of Manazanliio. Looking around the beaches and bays on both sides of the promontory we are camped on, there are signs of future development. White topped painted sticks poked into the ground seeming to…
We are spending the day at Tokkiero, south of Chalacatepec on the Pacific coast. Dennis spent the morning checking out our electrical wiring, to try and get the fridge working. A necessity in this climate. I have done some washing, but water is an issue. We have 20 litres for…
Our camp site last night was in a truck and bus park that they achieve some additional income from allowing campers to park. It’s surrounded by big hotels but has toilets and showers, of a kind. Occasionally there is water in both. The beach is about 50m away. We had…
