After leaving Tulum I took a relatively painless 3 hour bus to Bacalar. I have already been to Bacalar with my tour but I am back as it is the most logical pit stop before going to Belize and where most backpackers go that are following the same general route.   My hostel is ironically […]

I said goodbye to my tour group and had a few hours to kill before I could check into my hostel which was only a few hundred metres away. I visisted ‘Las Margaritas’ for lunch (one of a few visits during my time in Tulum) which was a recommendation from Jack. I indulged in my

Today we left Valladolid on route to Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza is one of the 7 wonders of the world and is my second of the 7 ticked off after a visit to the colosseum a few years ago.   My expectations of it going in were somewhat suppressed as I had read that the

Today we had a chill day in Bacalar to explore. We got a really nice breakfast and then headed to a beach club / hotel place to chill and drink. The bar and restaurant is closed on Wednesdays (the day we went) but they allow you to still go and bring your own drinks and

Today we boarded an early morning bus from Mexico City to Oxaca. The ADO bus we took was a public bus but it was very comfortable. The journey is around 6ish hours so we arrived in Oxaca sometime in the afternoon. Our guide, Pamela, took us on a walking tour of the city through the

Lastnight was my final night at Casa Pepe Hostel as today I was starting a 13 night tour through Mexico with Gadventures. I was feeling quite hungover again, a mixture of jet lag and excessive alcohol consumption at yesterday’s boat party. I pulled myself together and had the worst shower I’ve had since I was

Whoever told me that you don’t get hangovers when you’re travelling/on holiday has clearly not been to Mexico City.   Maybe a combination of jetlag, altitude and 400 beers during power hour, but this morning I was not in good shape. A very slow morning ensued. I slept in, the jetlag had me awake at
