Chamula & Zinacantan Day Trip!! The weather was a bit overcast today so the perfect chance to get a collectivo out to the two indigenous towns surrounding San Cristobal: Chamula & Zinacantan. At around 9:30am I went and found where the collectivos were leaving from and took the first one out to San Juan Chamula. The drive out was nice but unfortunately when I arrived the rain started and did not let up for my entire visit. There was a cool little market I...

Slipping Back!! Unfortunately I didn't sleep so well lastnight and I was up super early so I did my best to do some meditation before starting the day! I joined Erick and his roommate for a typical Mexican breakfast of scrambled eggs, tomato and chilli - it was super got but delicious.

I had a few hours to kill and the top floor of the hostel had this cool hammock room and on top of that a little area w...

Mexico here we go!!! It was a very early start today and I was up at 4am getting the last of my things together and having a quick breakfast before heading down to the dock. That old nervous/excited feeling overcome me and reminded me how lucky I am and in about 5 hours I will be reaching Mexico: some place I have always dreamed of visiting. The boat was a little late to arrive at the dock but whilst waiting I was treated to the most amazing sunrise I have seen i...
