... with vendors inviting us into their stores. The first price they gave us on everything was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I guess they think all gringos are just plain dumb. After lots of haggling, we were able to make some good buys. Mexico as a bargain is gone for now. But they do still have some interesting art work and unusual things which can be had at a fair price. The ...

... all: Mistico We saw Mistico... and at first we were disappointed. Round 1 he got whooped, absolutely trashed. He was even demasked. But come rounds two and three we got to see why he is the greatest of the luchadors: Three times he jumps on the corner of the ring, springs himself off and latches his knees around the neck of his opponent, subsequently spinning them around three ...

... stops!) took as a while to navigate out way back, despite el robbo and hor-hey having a geography degree (one each i mean not one between them). back at the hotel some argument seemed to be ensuing about lack of water, toilets etc so dina, the boys and i headed straight back out to get the booze. the trip was slightly scenic but successful - a litre of vodka was $54 pesos which is approx 2pound 70p! we merrily boozed away on voddy, orange and pinapple juice ...

... flag ever on Zocalo square, we drank some Corona and tried on some Mexican Sombreros hats, met some friendly & funny local Mexican people, and just really had a great chilled out day. Far from its reputation, the city didn't seem dangerous at all and the people were fantastic and all a bit crazy, in a good way. The bad stories we heard only served to make us more cautious when really, it seemed like any other great city ...

... climbed aboard our boat. We were given all the information about the number of alligators and birds etc etc which were at the reserve, obviously important information that I can't remember any of now! 'The next day my new friend Budgie took myself and a Canadian guy I met in the hostel bar to the Mayan Ruins Coba . They were interesting but not a patch on Tikal and also slightly spoiled by too many of tourists although luckily we did miss a lot of them as more ...

... rotated in front of a grill. Cooks then shave it off and cook it Japanese style on a hot flat grill. It is served on a tortilla with whatever you want. I like onions, mushrooms, pineapple, cilantro, cheese, hot sauce, and loads of limejuice. Lets move on. There on your right is El Circo, although the sign outside says Salon Mundial. I don't know maybe it's under new management, but everyone still calls it El Circo. That's THE place to dance in town. It's got great drink ...

... he stopped at one point to buy us some ¨"donkey bread". Not sure what is in it, but it was a sweet bread, with kind of an orange flavor...really good. Then, we stopped at the local candy store and sampled some compote candy (sweet potato). The guava flavored was the best. We also so the fort that was famous for being the home to the battle of Cinco de Mayo. I´m not sure I heard what the name of the fort was, but I would have ...

... bustle and full of life and packed together with narrow roads and masses of traffic. Sheila went to the bank (HSBC as it happens - Simon's bank) and we were off. First stop for the tourist visa and car permit - slow but easy - and down to San Carlos on the coast for a our first night. The first thing we noticed on the road were the number of crosses signifying fatalities - hundreds of them and very sobering, although you quickly get into the style of ...
