14th Feb - to Date - Lake Catemaco, Tepetepan RV Park (£12.50/night)
We had a really enjoyable night on Friday with the "snowbird"s and our hosts, Dave & Bev, they grew up in Durban so Adele reminicing about SA and gave us some good tips about Mexico.A brief stop over in Vera Cruz andn ow in Lake Catemaco. Having toruble downloading photos to this blog page, but it is very picturesque, quaint town by the lake and our campsite is easy walking distance. We have the veg and fruit market, butchers and bakery easy to go to and restaurants overlooking the lake or basillica. Our Spanish perhaps not going so well. Take our first night here, we ordered in our best Spanish, fillet steak and chips and even looked up medium rare in the dictionary. Adele's food came first, fish wrapped in a tortilla with rice and salad, then mine, fish (the thinnest piece ever) with 3 bits of cucumber. Ok so I fancied meat but fish will be ok...I waited a good 5 mins for the rest of my food which never came! I was so disappointed....and hungry!! How could we get it so wrong? Have found a little man (they are all small here) to fix my bike so we are going cycling around the lake.

oh dear!!! next time try filete de carne a medio rara y papas fritas francés
ReplyDeleteinstead of pescado envuelto en tortilla con arroz y ensalada
and most importantly dos cervezas o una copa grande de vino blanco seco!!
bye for now xx
Yes I can assure you I ordered filete not pesdado! Today I almost ordered "aguacate" thinking it was catfish and it is in fact avacado. Never a dull moment eating out!
