Bodge Misol-Ha. A jungle waterfall in the state of Chiapas, southern Mexico. Bloody ace

Bodge very fresh. The young girl was rolling out the masa (corn dough) and pressing them in her tortilla press, then heating them on a flat metal pan over a fire. We tucked in staright away :)

Bodge made on a type of loom. Each threasd is woven by hand. See previous image to see girl sat at her loom

Bodge Watching a young girl make traditional brightly coloured fabrics in her home. Her older sister started to invite tourists to see how they live for a small fee. The whole family now participate and live a comparatively comfortable existence.

Bodge Patrcik chats to his old friends and donates bits and bobs he no longer needs. It is all gratefully received.

Bodge Foreground: Pox (pronounced 'posh') is a traditional Chiapas (very) alcoholic drink made from sugar cane. Background: traditional brightly coloured hand made materials from a Chiapas village

Bodge Suppin' on a coconut on the beach at Zipolite, the uber laid-back nudist friendly surf drop out village on Mexico's Pacific coast.

Bodge can't remember exactly what this is but I think it might be an incense holder for use in ceremonies. Burning incense was an important part of many rituals in ancient Mexico

Bodge Stood on top one of Monte Alban's large temple structures in Oaxaca with it's 360 degree views of the surrounding valleys. Steve, his girlfriend Elisa and her mother Betty joined me.

Bodge ADO is a large Mexican bus company which many of the smaller minibus and taxi drivers resented for their 'tourism monopoly' in ferrying people about to see the wonders of Oaxaca state. They therefore set up a blockade at the bus station one morning and prevented our (non ADO) bus from leaving! I didn't mind the wait however, it was fun watching the news teams and journos dashing about interviewing the bus chiefs with their gruff moustaches. Shame Chloe was still really ill sat inside the station wanting the world to end though...

Bodge Chloe in front of the plush Teatro Juarez in the centre of Guanajuato on New Year's Eve. You can pay to see the inside of the theatre and it is well worth it. Without a doubt the most opulent and luxurious theatre I've ever seen. Red velvet, beautiful woodwork, wrought iron staircases. It is beautiful in there. We wished there was a performance we could have watched while we were there
