Since we arrived yesterday in Panajachel we have not done much here other than relaxed and shopped. To arrive here we used an array of chicken buses that would make anyone that has ridden a traditional school bus a little nervous and possibly sick. There is no maximum speed and I wouldn´t doubt […]

Hello, we’re still in Antigua and having fun here!  Yesterday a few of us decided to take a trip to the R. Dalton Coffee Planation outside of Antigua.  First we located the chicken bus that was heading to San Fellipe de Jesus which took probably 30-60 minutes due to the fact some people either I […]

Today was a big travel day! We thought our bus driver that took us to Tikal was going to pick us up at 6am’ish. 7am rolled around and no sign of him so we grabbed a bite to eat (the pancakes were amazing) and waited longer. 8:30 and still nothing so Chad […]

Hello! We’re still in Flores and it’s really nice out here with lago de itza peten outside of the hotel and the weather is warm, almost too warm, just kidding! Yesterday we rented a 13passenger van, which was 50quetzales/person and headed to Tikal at 6am. The drive was nice and cool in the […]

Today we woke up at 4:00am to head for the bus to Flores, Guatemala.  The bus was nothing special but had lots of legroom.  The trip which was to take 8 hours took 12+ due to the driver delivering goods to people along the way and the wheel whose lugnuts decided to keep coming loose.  […]

So it´s been awhile since the last post.  I did make it to Playa del Carmen no problem and as I was walking to the hotel Chad and Alisa were at Alisa spotted me from the restaurant and we walked to Posada Papaguya and had a room and then walked around a bit and to bed.  In the morning I […]

My bus leaves in 15 minutes after a long day of figuring out how to get from Punta Allen back to Tulum.  Everything finally worked out and Tobasco and I took the launcha to Muyil and from there we picked up a ride to Tulum.  Now I’m here and on my way to Playa to […]

Hola,
Today I am going with Tobasco to Punta Pelicano, the point that the peninsula meets the reef, so the reef is right off the beach.  Plenty of fishing and snorkeling to be had and it’s even more quiet than Punta Allen.  I’ll stay there overnight, hitch back to Punta Allen (or walk it’s only like 5km) and […]

The past 2-3 days has seen crazy rain for the entire Yucatan.  Punta Allen was not left out and my time was spent reading and reading and reading…  I did not do much but read, work on the town map and finish a pamphlet for the kayak tours.
 Speaking of kayak tours, I took one today […]

So today, I woke up and Tobasco was ready to vamanos to get 3 kayaks down the road.  He had his boat on the Caribbean side and we moved the sea’yaks 250m or so into his boat and then took another boat ride.  We went around Punta Allen (the true point) and there is a […]
