Papantla and El Tajin

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 | By gemma | Views [1182]

We travelled down to Papantla, and I was in some discomfort due to my sun burns.  The temperatures down there were even higher than La Huasteca and I have to admit that I didn't enjoy my day in Papantla that much.  We didn't stop at the hotel, which ... Read more >

Tenía muchas ganas de venir a Chiapas, ya que todo el mundo me había hablado genial y, la verdad, no me ha defraudado para nada. Es bueno, bonito y barato. De hecho, sorprendéntemente es más barato que casi cualquier país centroamericano, cosa que agradezco ... Read more >

Observations

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 | By jarrodkee43 | Views [388] | Comments [2]

Observations from Mexico: Any time is beer time. Sit down to breakfast (having had a few 40oz the night before) and the first thing that is offered is cervasa. It´d be rude not to, wouldn´t it? At our age (around thirty) we should be grandparents, ... Read more >

El Fuerte, the near death experience

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 | By jarrodkee43 | Views [740]

After the ferry ride from hell we ended up in Topolabampo where we stayed the night. Being late, we had to find food so we walk down the street and it is like a scene from boys in the hood. There are about 4 or 5 groups of people sitting around in ... Read more >

Heading further south on the Baja peninsula we finally arrived at the tranquil beach of Pichilingue…… Well, when I say tranquil I really mean nice looking at the water, turn around and you´ll see the rubbish and other remnants of the previous visitors.... Read more >

Loreto, Dos pescado taco por favor

It only took the border crossing from hell (so far) and 18 hours to get to Loreto, so we were kinda happy to get here. Loreto is a quiet coastal town of around 12000, known mostly for sport fishing, beaches (about 100km away!) and friendly locals. ... Read more >

Border Crossing, Tijuana.

We`ll pick up where we left off. Waking up at 6am, mildly hungover (this was gonna change) and stumbling around getting ready to go get the bus to Mexico... TIJUANA What a lovely place this is. The guidebook describes it as an "outlaw`s paradise"... Read more >
