I.II.VII.II – San Ignacio: Day Two

SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.II – DAY TWO 28/09/22 Something I failed to mention about Roy is that he doesn’t swim. After two swimming-related deaths in his family, he’s remained apprehensive about swimming in areas where his feet don’t touch ground – rightfully so. Which meant we’d spend our penultimate day together apart, having had already booked a tour to the Actun […]

I.II.VII.I – San Ignacio: Day One

SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.I – DAY ONE 27/09/22 Having to peel myself away from Roy and getting out of the most comfortable bed in existence proved to be one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Luckily enough, we had a full day of activities and adventures ahead of us. After having breakfast and bidding Kay and Darcy adieu, Roy and […]

III.II.VII – The Chase

III.II.VII THE CHASE Kathmandu, check. Pokhara, check. And up next was our third and final stop; Chitwan. I might have had no expectations for Nepal, but this I definitely looked forward to. From the little research I had carried out before going to Nepal, this place felt rather synonymous with adventure. Finally! Arriving at the hotel, we were quite… surprised? […]

I.I.VII.I – Mérida: Day One & Two

MÉRIDA I.I.VII.I – DAY ONE & TWO 24/08/22 & 25/08/22 Yep, you guessed it. Yet another bus trip – this time to Mérida; a city in the state of Yucatán. Pretty much like in my other stops, I’d have three days here, though this time round I had plans only for one. I spent the first afternoon going around the […]

I.I.V.I – Palenque: Day One

PALENQUE I.I.V.I – DAY ONE 19/08/22 By this point in my journey, I was pretty much used to all those long bus rides every couple of days that would take from one incredible place to the next. And the next? I could describe Palenque in more ways than one, although the first thing I can think of is that it’s […]
