Zipolite, Mexico
I often find it hard to update the blog when we are sitting still… In fact I often go through the same questions even when we’re discovering new places: who cares, why would they want to know, or what is the right amount of detail… but then i remember our promise to ourselves that this blog would simply be a…
Zipolite, Mexico
We are spending our days exploring the small coastal towns and beaches of Oaxaca….and loving it. We spend most of our days (before and after the sun reaches its sweltering peak) walking the length of beaches and meeting locals. First we were hoping to find an area for camping or a restaurant that would allow us to stay beside them…
Life and Death on Playa Zipolite
We had read that one of the much debated translations of Zipolite was “beach of the dead”. Sadly, today we found out why.

It’s funny how a long drive gives you an opportunity…
Life as a Mexican Truck Driver

We both pack up our rigs and head out after a plate of breakfast nachos. The mansion turns east for tulum the riviera maya and we aim west for oaxaca. My brain just cant…
Mexico. What? Yes, Mexico…
Sitting at the bar last night with another overland traveller we find out about a border crossing that (he thinks) leads to mexico without having to go all the way to the pacific and just like that our plans change again. We have been antagonizing about whether to travel the main highways all the way to southern Guatemala or backtrack…
