Two days away from flying back to Mexico and we realized that we forgot to do the blog last May!
We went on a fantastic one week trip to Chiapas with four Mexican friends.
 |
| After a long day travelling we arrived in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas |
 |
| The Mayan ruins in Palenque were impressive. |
 |
| Only 5% of the buildings have been excavated. |
 |
| Las Nubes - beautiful scenery with many waterfalls |
 |
| Huge limestone cave systems |
 |
| With some unusually shaped stalagmites! |
 |
| We stepped over the border to Guatamala (literally) |
 |
| Leanne risking her life again for the best 'blog shot' |
 |
| Another cascada... it rains a lot here |
 |
| At Las Guacamayas we fell asleep to sound of the howler monkeys! |
 |
| We saw a lot of wildlife, including large crocodiles |
 |
| They know how to eat in Mexico! |
 |
| Indigenous women wearing their tradition sheepskin skirts |
 |
| The weirdest, most interesting place we've ever experienced - Templo de San Juan in Chamula absolutely no photos allowed inside |
 |
| We bought some jaguars to take back from this cheeky chappy in San Cristóbal |
 |
| Raúl found his perfect shop! |
 |
| It was great to see all the places we'd visited |
 |
| Meanwhile, back in El Centenario... this doesn't look like it will end well. |
 |
| Our friend Rafa cooked us another fantastic dinner (I helped a bit) |
 |
| Leanne is unrecognizable after her visits to Kathy's |
 |
| Drinks on the roof! |
 |
| Cactus flowering means we fly north! |
 |
| Not before Ruth arrived with daughter Grace and friend |

| We took a boat trip to the Isla Espiritu Santo |
 |
| Hanging out with my 'tocayo' Pablo - it's a hard life... |

| We were lucky to see a humpback whale and calf (great photo Ruth!) |
 |
| and hundreds of stingrays leaping! |
 |
| Sadly, Leanne's Mom Shirley passed away in March |
 |
On a happier note, this little fellow arrived on Jonathan's birthday, May 20th Hello Huntly!! |
To finish. A video of us on a tranquil boat trip at Las Guacamayas!
