Laguna Bacalar, Mexico

Posted on April 4, 2016 by Bec

After the busyness of Tulum, a few slow days on the lagoon at Bacalar were nice and relaxing. Most of the tourists there are Mexican families, so there is a far more authentic vibe to the town than further up the … Continue reading →

Posted on March 21, 2016 by Bec

San Christobal will always remind me of: churches, Mexican street corn, Andrew turning 26 and the best fish tacos ever. We arrived off the night bus from Oaxaca and were instantly struck by how cold it was (it was bound … Continue reading →

In love with Oaxaca, Mexico

Posted on March 20, 2016 by Bec

Oaxaca was a hell of a place to start our Mexican adventure. Mind blowing food, beautiful cobbled streets, amazing architecture, great stuff to do nearby and SO much colour. To get there we took a rather painful overnight bus from … Continue reading →
