Hola! We've arrived in Guatamala, but that's another story. Our last few weeks in Mexico were similarly amazing! It seems that just lying on a beach isn't as straightforward as it seems. Our first stop was Puerto Escondido which was the closest coastal ... Read more >

After the slightly crazy and emotional 3 week leaving party, we were finally on flight AF438 to Mexico City, whoop whoop. We arrived around 6:30 local time to a less than smooth passing through immigration, the Mexican Official literally picking holes ... Read more >
