I've been debating whether to write this post for a long time. Still not sure how I feel about it. Here goes. I love my body It's strong. It's flexible. It can jump, run, swim. It can do a million things. I love doing sport. What sport? Any sport. As long as I'm moving, as … Continue reading My Body and Me
I just spent ten days travelling around Morocco. It wasn't quite the holiday I was expecting it to be, but I thought a quick write-up would be a nice way to ease back into writing here. Sorry it's been so long. Marrakech Marrakech is busy, beautiful and dirty. I only had two proper days to … Continue reading Morocco Assorted Bits
Okay final post on the travels! Sorry it's been a bit delayed - I started my new job a few weeks ago, and between that, getting back into rowing and various other things time seems to have evaporated. Anyways, one of the most memorable things from our travels was the look of many of the … Continue reading Mexico: The buildings
Ok, you've had the food and the coffee shops. But, let's face it, the most exciting summary post has to be the one reviewing the various gyms I managed to seek out on our travels across Mexico. Some of you may be surprised/horrified that I actively went looking for gyms whilst travelling. I did it … Continue reading Mexico: Best gyms
Moving on from coffee, getting to taste the different flavours and style of food across the regions of Mexico was another one of the joys of travelling. This list is an absolute mix of quick, slow, fancy, eaten with hands, and so on - hopefully the variety reflects the range of experiences we had! (A … Continue reading Mexico: Best food
I may have already mentioned Mexican coffee a few times, from our tour of the coffee farm in Coatepec to my despair at not being able to drink it when I was ill in San Cristobal. Coffee was a constant feature of our trip. Not just because we both love a good, tasty coffee, but … Continue reading Mexico: Favourite coffee shops
I picked up this book for 80 pesos in a closing-down sale at a bookshop in San Cristobal. I spotted it walking in, and a few minutes later Charlotte also picked it up and said "I reckon you'll love this". After that, I couldn't say no... The only reading I've done about Mexico and its … Continue reading Mexican Shock
Okay here we go! Let's kick off with an overview of where we went, and what our favourite bits are. The two pictures below sum up our route. We kicked things off in Mexico City for six days, before moving on to the city of Puebla for another four (extending by one day due to … Continue reading Mexico: Our route and favourite bits
Our journey to Cancun airport passed without incident, apart from some ridiculously cheeky attempt at price gouging from the taxis from the ferry terminal to Cancun airport. Charlotte all packed up and ready to leave our hotel on Isla Mujeres, for one last journey! When we first got off the ferry we were told, in … Continue reading Day 55: La Fine
If you had asked me, way back before we set out travelling, what/where I thought I would feel most out of place or least comfortable, I am not sure that a beach-ey island on the coast would have come high up that list. Going to the rainforest and finding enormous insects in the bathroom, getting … Continue reading Days 51-54: Isla Mujeres
