Havana -> Baracoa

5 March 2013

Tagged as: , , , ,

With winds being from the east and only having a month in the country, I was either going to have to just tour around Havana, or take some sort of transport. I went with the easy option of taking a Viazul bus from Havana to Holguin in the east. They are buses aimed at tourists [...]

City of Guatemala

Rafael went back to his other house with plenty of everything to give to the needy people he worked to help. We had originally planned on hopping a bus to Cobán, but a late offer of a couch in the downtown came up and we figured it’d be a bad idea to turn down the [...]

Atitlán – Antigua

22 January 2013

Tagged as: , , , ,

I had planned in a rest day by Lago Atitlán so we had a lazy morning riding along to San Pedro. It wasn’t too hilly, so we could have done it the night before, but then we’d have missed the beautiful views of the lake in the early morning. In San Pablo, where we had [...]

Huatulco – Tapachula

15 January 2013

Tagged as: , , , , , ,

What we had thought would just be meeting up for a coffee ended up turning into two nights in a resort, and they actually suggested we stay for their 3rd and final night too, but we had to keep going. Part of it was because Pedro had burnt himself to a crisp the day before [...]

Miahuatlan – Huatulco

8 January 2013

Tagged as: , , , , , ,

Note : Videos on previous post have been updated Even though I’d been feeling bad the night before, when I woke up I was feeling better. I’d cleaned my water bottle to ensure that it wasn’t the cause, and then we headed out to start our climb up into the mountains. It was overcast, which [...]

Acapulco – Puerto Escondido

30 December 2012

Tagged as: , , , , , ,

After the unconventional Christmas in Acapulco, we were planning on leaving early on Boxing Day, but Pedro woke up feeling terrible again. Something to do with the large amount of beer we drank on the beach the night before probably, but who knows. We knew that we had enough time to get to Puerto Escondido, [...]

Angangueo -> Maravatío

14 December 2012

Tagged as: , , ,

We had asked around the night before and were told that we had to wait in front of the auditorium between 8 and 8:30 to get to the butterfly sanctuary. There are two close to Angangueo, El Rosario and Sierra Chincua and we had been told that El Rosario was better, but Sierra Chincua was [...]

Guanajuato -> San Miguel de Allende

24 June 2012

Tagged as: , , ,

Not being English, Pedro had no desire to get up at 6am to head to San Miguel to watch England’s inevitable glorious defeat on penalties. You may think that I can only write that because I’m writing this after the game happened, but that’s just because you’re not English. It’s what we have done in [...]

Zacatecas -> Aguascalientes

19 June 2012

Tagged as: , , , , , , ,

With our rush to get to DF, we only had one day to spend in the beautiful Zacatecas. I wished we had had more time, and I wouldn’t be too surprised if I somehow ended up back there after leaving DF. We even managed to go close to the church of the Virgen de Guadalupe, [...]

Durango -> Vicente Guerrero

Tagged as: , , , , , ,

Frida and Jorge Luis had been wonderful hosts. Jorge Luis is a vet and so we got to visit a hacienda that belongs to one of his clients. It also means he is very busy, but he did his best to make time to spend with us. Frida’s work load is a little lighter, and [...]

Mazatlán -> Durango

Tagged as: , , , , , , , ,

We had a great time staying in Mazatlán with our wonderful host Norman. We’d got to meet some of his friends as well as relax on the beach by the Pacific for the last time in a good while. Our plan is to head inland to the colonial cities of Durango, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and Guanajuato [...]

Estación Obispo -> Estación Dimas

3 June 2012

Tagged as: , ,

Since arriving in Sinaloa, we seem to find ourselves in Birrerrias most mornings. They sell Birria, a stew made from a variety of meats, but most commonly goat and lamb. This was to be no exception as Pedro spent his regular 50 pesos on a Birria and a coffee. I had half a burrito left [...]
