Well, after a great day yesterday, this morning there were no healthy survivors. I woke thinking, I better get to the boy’s room pronto! Just made it. Jen said she wan’t feeling too great either. She was complaining of aches all over and couldn’t get out of bed Watching Sarah…
Up real early this morning to a cold grey day. We are heading in to see some of the Mexican capital. Our supplies are running low so we did without porridge for breakfast, having granola and papaya instead. Getting all six of us into a wee VW Polo taxi from…
Sleep came last night but it wasn’t easy. Revolving in my mind, the events of yesterday with the Police. Lessons. Not to stop for police unless unavoidable. It has made us much wiser, realising the police were of dishonourable intent, and will be treated so, from now. In future, we…
Not a great nights sleep. It was freezing cold though we were warm and snug. At around 5am lightening started flashing again and thunder rolled around the mountains for about an hour. Today we were hoping to see one of the natural wonders of the world, the mass flying of…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
