San Cristobal to Tuxtla to Oaxaca The Treda drugs seemed to kick in overnight, but I didn’t sleep that well. I felt pretty bad when I woke up. Sophie went out for a bit and left me in bed, this is becoming a routine! I got a bit more rest, and then we walked down…
Mexico 2016 – Comitan to San Cristobal de la Casa – Day 8
Comitan to San Cristobal de la Casa Another early morning wake up with a dodgy tummy. Pretty bad this time, but not on a bus at least. I had to contend with that later. Sophie got up early, and headed out to see the sun rise and take some pictures. With film this time. 🙂…
It’s been busy in the house
We have been working hard in the house, and have had a lot of tradespeople in also working hard, the last three weeks have particularly hectic. The roof is complete – it’s now fully felted, insulated and re-guttered. It looks lovely. The scaffolding came down, and the last few bits of finishing off are happening….
Mexico 2016 – Frontera Corozal to Comitan – Day 7
Frontera Corozal to Comitan – 15th Nov 2016 (Tuesday) We began what can only really be described as an epic day of travelling. Epic is an overused word, and I use it here knowing that. But it really was a big day. We started by getting up really early, knowing that we had a lot…
Marching on
It’s almost like we’re getting somewhere with the house renovations, the kitchen has been completely gutted, but it’s starting to come back together this week. The new doors and windows are in, the floor is ready to be tiled, complete with underfloor heating. The walls are being insulated and boarded, and we have a ceiling…

Day 6 – Palenque to Frontera Corozal – 14th Nov 2016 (Monday) We woke up feeling well rested, which wasn’t surprising as we’d slept for 18 hours in the jungle paradise. We headed to the pool for a swim, then checked out and started our journey to Frontera Corozal. We decide to go luxury and…
Mexico 2016 – Arriving in Palenque – Day 5
Day 5 – Arriving in Palenque – 13th Nov 2016 (Sunday) Urgh. The overnight bus. It’s as if my bowels know. I got the shits. Bad times. But apart from that, the bus was fine. I sat near the loo. Thank goodness the bus wasn’t too full. We arrived in Palenque at 7am, and cleaned…
Mexico 2016 – Coba, Valladolid and Merida – Days 3 and 4
Day 3 – Tulum, Coba, Valladolid – 11th Nov 2016 (Fri) We rose early to get on the bus to Coba. It took about an hour, and Sophie managed to get a juice from a street vendor before we left. Coba, like Tulum and Cancun, is in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. The early start was great…
I did finally sell the Northern house
In November, almost 18 months after it went onto the market I finally offloaded the house. I forgot to document it here. It was a giant relief, although tinged with a bit of sadness. It was six good years. A lovely place to live after a couple of years of chaos of renovation. We’re only…

I remembered another blog that I wrote…
I remembered that occasionally I compiled a list of my top five of something, and it was called “in my opinion” and I referred to them as the Top5s
