Arrived in the Yutacan Penisula

25th Feb - UXMAL  SITE  - (£6)
We are camping in a car park at one of the most important Maya sites in Mexico and going to the Light & Sound show tonight. Its not bad here, no other RV's so private and has internet! We have just hung up our washing so looking a bit like gypsies. This area is famous for Maya ruins and have been wandering around the sites today the Pommie's  face getting redder and redder (its very hot here now). These ruins are impressive but full of iguanas and big ones too.


24th Feb - CAMPECHE - HA KIN AQUATIC PARK (£8)

Campeche is a really charming old quaint colonial Spanish town, narrow streets, buildings painted different colours. We went to for a beer at a bar where they filmed Original Sin (Anthony Banderos). Easy to get in on the bus and had a really good experience. The people in Mexico are just so friendly and cute (they are so short).

23rd Feb - VILLAHERMOSA 

Just a stop over in Vilahermosa but we got an oil change and fuel filter change on the way. Result, all for £5, we supplied the parts.


18th Feb - 23rd Feb - LAke CATEMACO - El Mirandor (£5)

We really loved Catemaco, an easy small town to be in and the lake view...amazing. Our neighbour, Silva,
took us out to waterfalls, no touristsand  into the jungle for 2 hours. On the way back we were invited into a Mexican ladies home for food, what a pleasure to see and experince the locals way of life if only briefly. They sat us straight away at the kitchen table and then brought out of the food cooked on fire. Rice, tortillas with cheese, spicy hot vegtable salad and black beans. Her daughter sat opposite and stared at the white people.
It was very cool. Silva is a mechanic so got him busy on our RV checking out a few things.
We both got haircuts in Catemaco, Jan's a bit 80's in style but it will soon grow!!
